Sleep meditation: Best Sleep Meditation to help you drift off

October 19, 2020

Sleep is an essential part of how our body recovers and restores itself. Getting a good nights is linked with better productivity, concentration and weight loss. By allowing our body to restore itself through sleep, we can achieve good well-being and health. But in our modern world, sleep isn't always a priority.

One in three Australians are not getting enough sleep. Distractions are everywhere whether it's scrolling on Instagram or watching another episode no Netflix getting some quality sleep is hard. Our minds are constantly racing and taking in information. Meditation offers a way to calm your mind and body before heading off to sleep. It gives us permission to let go of our negative thoughts and focus on the present moment.

Sleep meditations can be found on Youtube, Spotify, Headspace, Calm or Insight timer. We've picked our top Youtube sleep meditations that help us have a deep and restorative sleep.
