Yoga Nidra For An Overactive Nervous System

For nights when your body is tired but your mind won’t switch off, this gentle yoga nidra–inspired bedtime meditation helps guide your attention away from overthinking and back into physical rest. Through calm reassurance, simple body awareness, and natural breathing, you’re invited to lie down without any pressure to clear your mind or fall asleep quickly.

The guidance is slow and spacious, allowing thoughts to drift in the background while your body gradually unwinds. After the meditation, the track continues into a steady 9-hour sleep soundscape to support you through the night. If nighttime overthinking is something you often experience, my course Sleep Reset here on Insight Timer offers gentle, practical tools to help you build more consistent, restful sleep.
