As a sleep writer, I spend a lot of my time researching and testing different ways to sleep better. But even when sleeping on some of the best mattresses in the world for my job, even I'm not spared from the odd restless, sleepless night. From the Sunday Scaries to revenge bedtime procrastination, there are evenings when I can’t drift off no matter how hard I try.
Guided sleep meditations teach you how to relax your mind and body for better sleep. They also help you let go of anxious or stressful thoughts that could otherwise stop you falling asleep. Guided sleep mediations are available for free on YouTube and Spotify, and via specialist apps such as Headspace and Calm.
