Most of you will know this feeling… you want to sleep, but your mind feels light, busy, and jumps from thought to thought like an erratic monkey in a tree. You try harder to relax, to think of nothing — but no luck. Then comes the creeping panic that tomorrow will be a total sh*t show, and your body now believes it’s in danger from tomorrow.
In this episode, I explain why your mind becomes alert at bedtime and how to retrain it to relax deeply. You’ll learn how bedtime habits — like scrolling, inconsistent sleep times, and overstimulation — condition your brain to predict wakefulness instead of rest. I’ll also share practical ways to calm your nervous system, activate your vagus nerve, and restore your natural rhythm for sleep.
I’ve also created two powerful resources of 8-hour Deep Sleep Yoga Nidra meditations to help you drift into effortless rest. The first hour and fifteen minutes guide you through muscle relaxation, bilateral stimulation, and gentle eye therapy to quiet the Default Mode Network (DMN) and Reticular Activating System (RAS) — helping your mind finally let go.
🩷 Pink Noise – slows brain waves, stabilises sleep cycles, and promotes calm.
🎧 Binaural Beats – Low Delta, Theta & Alpha frequencies for deep healing and peace.
Press play and let your body remember what true rest feels like.
