5 Guided Sleep Meditations To Add To Your Nightly Routine

While some people are dead to the world the minute they hit the bed, there is another set of people who are not so lucky when it comes to falling asleep. Insomniacs know the pain of spending endless hours in bed without being able to sleep. A healthy sleep at night has more to do with the quality of rest, rather than the quantity of hours. Backed by scientific research, it has been proven that meditation goes a long way in fighting mild insomnia. This is because it helps in creating inner conditions that make it easier to drift off to a peaceful sleep.

Guided sleep meditation is another technique that insomniacs turn to in times of need. This practice involves a trained practitioner guiding a group of people and coaching them into a sense of tranquillity. They strive to remove the stubborn and troubling thoughts from your mind and promote a deep and healing sleep. Serene landscape imagery or soothing music is used in combination with verbal instructions to transport you to a calmer place.

The more you force yourself to sleep, the more likely it is for sleep to completely evade you. Mindfulness is not something that comes easily to all, and requires a certain amount of practice. Here are some of the best guided sleep meditations to help you fall, and stay, asleep.
