You can use guided sleep meditation to help you calm your mind and body before you go to sleep. This meditation requires shifting your attention from your thoughts to the sensations in your body, as with other types of meditation.
Guided sleep meditation is a valuable tool for reducing the difficulty of falling and staying asleep if practiced consistently. Stress and a healthy immune system can be improved with better sleep.
Many sleep problems stem from the way you think when you're sleeping. However, getting a good night's sleep can be difficult if you deal with stress and anxiety. A guided sleep meditation session can be a valuable tool in this regard.
Meditation before bedtime is "guided sleep meditation," which entails meditating while in bed. In contrast to self-directed practice, the guided method involves listening to an audio recording that walks you through the processes of guided sleep meditation.
Using guided sleep meditation can lessen the influence of stress and anxiety on your sleep. The more you practice shifting your mind and relaxing your body, the better your ability to fall and remain asleep will get.
In a guided sleep meditation, you can let go of your ideas and relax your mind. As a result, your parasympathetic nervous system is activated, allowing your heart rate and breathing rate to decrease. All these changes prepare you for sleep—you may even fall asleep during the meditation exercise.
As a reminder, guided sleep meditation is not a kind of self-imposed sleep deprivation. The practice, which aims to relax your body and slow your thinking, should result in a good night's rest.
It would be best to use headphones or a small speaker to play an audio guide to get the most out of a guided sleep meditation. Rather than overthinking what you're doing, you let the voice on the recording lead you along.
Your ability to jump right into the meditation and follow the instructions will improve over time. Keep going even if it takes some time to quiet down or relax during meditation.
To get a good night's sleep, practice meditation and make sure your sleep hygiene is in order. If you have insomnia, you may benefit from guided sleep meditation. Cognitive-behavioral therapy or medication may be helpful if you continue to suffer from nighttime anxiety.
