Let's do a robot body scan together and prepare our body for bedtime.
Find a comfortable position on your bed.
Your body is busy and busy.
Lying on your back,
Allow your arms to rest on either side of you.
Allow your feet to fall to the sides.
Let's begin with three nice deep breaths.
Gently in through your nose.
And out through your mouth.
In and out.
And in and out.
As you breathe out,
Feel your body begin to relax.
Breathe in.
As you breathe out,
Feel your back relax into your comfy bed.
If you feel comfortable,
Close your eyes.
Be as still as you can.
Your job is to imagine you are a robot.
A shiny,
Stiff metal robot.
You have bright flashing lights on different parts of your body.
You also make lots of bleeping noises.
Your body has been busy all day.
Let's try and slowly turn the robot off.
Making every part of your body relaxed and still.
Are you ready?
Let's give it a try.
Begin with your right foot.
Give it a wriggle.
Can you see the red flashing light on your right foot?
See if you can switch it off with your mind.
Your right foot becomes totally still and goes to sleep.
Now your right leg begins to feel heavier and heavier.
Switch off the green light on your right leg.
And feel it going to sleep.
It becomes totally still.
Can you wriggle your left foot?
It has a small flashing blue light on it.
Can you see the light?
See if you can switch it off.
Your foot is still.
Now switch off the yellow light on your left leg.
It's not making any bleeping noises anymore.
Your left leg is fast asleep and totally still.
Well done.
Now bring all your attention to the light on your tummy.
It's flashing orange.
See if you can switch it off with your mind.
Breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Make your tummy calm inside.
The orange light on your tummy is fading out.
Good job.
Shine your attention on the purple light on your chest.
Listen to the beeps and the bleeps.
Let's gently turn it off.
Let your chest go fast asleep.
You have had a busy day and you are ready to rest.
Your arms are becoming heavier and heavier.
Deactivate the brown light on your left arm.
And let that arm become still.
Next,
Turn off your right arm.
The pink light on your right arm has switched off.
It has gone to sleep.
Well done.
You are doing such a great job.
You're getting tired.
Your face is flashing and bleeping and beeping.
Gently turn off the switch on your forehead.
Switch off your nose light.
And let your eyes become heavier and heavier.
Turn off the switch on your eyes.
Notice how calm and still your whole body feels.
Your robot body has been switched off.
All lights are gone.
And it is now in sleep mode.
You are safe.
Your robot body feels relaxed.
Try to stay still so you don't turn on the lights.
Let's whisper together.
I am calm.
I am relaxed.
I am sleepy.
You are about to drift off into a wonderful night's sleep.
Sweet dreams.
