Meditation has been around for many centuries. Essentially, this technique helps you relax your mind and body, allowing you to fall asleep without any effort. To start, simply lie in bed, making sure every muscle in your body is relaxed. Focus solely on your breath; inhale deeply, then exhale slowly. As you put all of your attention on your breathing, random thoughts tend to subside and you can fall asleep much faster than if you let these thoughts run through your mind. Some people prefer to use guided meditations, in which a voice or a person leads the session. A simple YouTube search with keywords “meditations for bedtime or sleep” will furnish you with a plethora of meditation videos and music to try.
