COURSE

Sleep Deeply

With Meditations By Karl

There is a reason you are here. Not because you cannot sleep occasionally. Most people cannot sleep occasionally. You are here because something has gotten in the way of the kind of rest that actually restores you. The lying awake kind. The waking at three in the morning with your mind already running kind. The dragging yourself through days that feel like you are operating slightly behind yourself kind. Sleep is not a luxury. It is the single most important thing your body does. Every system, every hormone, every cognitive function, every emotional regulation mechanism you have depends on it. And yet most of us treat it as an afterthought. Something that happens, or does not happen, after we have finished doing everything else. This course is seven nights of changing that relationship. Not with tips. Not with a list of things to do before bed. With a guided practice that works with your nervous system rather than demanding something of it. Each session builds on the last. Each night takes you a little deeper than the night before. By the end of the week your body will have learned something it may have forgotten. That sleep is safe. That rest is available. That the part of you that keeps watch can finally, for a few hours, stand down. The frequencies change each night. They have been chosen deliberately, building from the gentle surface work of night one through to the deep delta states of nights six and seven. You will find the details for each session at the start of each day. All you need to do is lie down, close your eyes, and follow my voice. Everything else will take care of itself. My name is Karl. Let's get you some sleep.

Karl is a professional sound designer, voice artist and meditation teacher based in Madrid, Spain. With over a decade of experience in audio production, Karl earned a 2026 SOVAS nomination for Outstanding Sound Design, recognising his work in immersive audio and audio drama. His approach to guided meditation draws directly on that background, combining professional production quality with a genuine understanding of how sound, frequency and the spoken voice affect the nervous system. Karl has been teaching meditation through audio for several years, with a catalogue that has accumulated over 74,000 plays and a 4.61 average rating across more than 3,000 reviews on Insight Timer. His work focuses on practical, accessible inner work, drawing from Jungian psychology, Stoic philosophy and clinical research into frequency and brainwave entrainment. He is currently completing a Diploma in Counselling Skills, deepening his understanding of psychological wellbeing and the conditions under which genuine rest and restoration become possible. Sleep Deeply is built on the understanding that sleep is not a problem to be solved but a natural state the nervous system returns to when it feels safe enough to do so. Every session in this course is designed with that principle at its centre.
