Start by turning the light off and getting into bed.

Getting as comfortable as possible.

Lay down in Shavasana.

On your back,

Legs hip width apart with your feet flopped a little sideways.

Arms a little bit away from the body with your palms facing upwards.

Notice any sounds that occur.

First outside the room.

Then inside the room.

Now become aware of any body parts that are touching the bed.

Starting from your head and work your way down to your feet.

Do this a few times at your own pace.

Noticing any parts of the body that are starting to become tired and sleepy.
