Starting point is 00:02:22 As such, do not listen to this recording while driving or operating machinery. Only listen once you're in a safe place, comfortable and ready to fall asleep. Hey friend, welcome to sleep escape. And to this sleep session for overthinkers, if you're here tonight, there's a good chance your body is tired and ready for sleep.
Starting point is 00:02:57 But your mind just hasn't gotten the message yet. It's still running, still replaying, like it's working a shift that never ends. So tonight, we're going to help it clock out and turn off so that you can enjoy the sleep you deserve. Before we begin, I'll take a brief moment to explain what you can expect from this episode and how it works. So if you'd like to skip ahead,
Starting point is 00:03:34 you can do so using the chapter markers in the episode description. In tonight's session, we'll begin with a wind down just to help you get settled, and then we'll turn to physical relaxation, turning off the switch for each part of your body, after which I'll speak to your mind directly, talking it down into quiet and stillness. And after all of that, a series of calming, sleeping. affirmations will repeat throughout the remainder of this episode, helping you settle deeper and deeper, and also in case you wake up at any point, you'll have something to help guide you back to sleep. Layered beneath my voice are delta waves, which match the slow, steady rhythm your brain
Starting point is 00:04:36 naturally settles into during your deepest stages of sleep. You don't need to listen to them or even notice them at all. They're simply humming in the background, working directly with your nervous system to help slow things down. So if you're ready to really let go and drift off into a peaceful sleep, settle into a comfortable position, taking this time and opportunity to get as comfortable as you can possibly be in bed. Even if it's just a 1% improvement, go ahead and make that adjustment because you deserve it.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And because it's these simple, minute adjustments moment by moment that shift us from the waking, active state to the resting and sleeping state. And once you're there, just let your eyes rest. on the wall or the ceiling, whatever's out in front of you. And I know this may seem odd for a sleep session, but this is an extremely effective technique to help us switch off. So just allow your eyes to slowly fall closed as I count down from five. Feeling that growing weight in your eyelids. Four, releasing the day just past and opening yourself up to this time for quiet and relaxation. Three, your eyes may begin to flicker and flutter now under that growing weight of your eyelids, only able to see through the tiniest sliver now, but hold
Starting point is 00:06:55 holding on for just another second as we finally arrive at one and you allow your eyes to close down all the way now. Enjoying that first moment of darkness behind your eyelids and rather than following your thoughts let your attention drift down to all of the places where your body is touching the bed like your head sinking into the pillow, your shoulders, your back, your hips, and your legs, every place where you're being held. And just notice that the bed is already doing the work for you. It's holding you up so you don't have to. You can stop bracing now. You can stop carrying your own weight to help you let go. Let's take a few deep breaths together. Inhaling all the way down into your diaphragm and then letting the air fall back out
Starting point is 00:08:52 with no force or effort. Two more just like that. Breathing in and then letting the air fall back out. Last one, inhale to exhale. nice and easy. Now you can let your breath return to its own natural rhythm and depth, whatever feels effortless to you, trusting that each slowing breath is a quiet message to your nervous system, that it's safe now, that you can relax, and that sleep for you is inevitable tonight. You don't need to force a happen. You don't need to become frustrated about not being asleep yet or worried about when you will fall asleep because your body knows how to rest. It's designed to. So trust that your natural systems will guide you into sleep at exactly the right moment for you.
Starting point is 00:10:56 to get exactly as much sleep as you need tonight. Help you turn off. I invite you to imagine that every part of your body has its own switch. Like the light switches in each room of a house, all day long, those switches have been on. Every part of you powered up, alert, and ready to handle whatever came next. That has served you so well the day is done. There's nothing left to do.
Starting point is 00:11:57 There's no problems to solve and nothing to fix. So we'll move through this house of your body and turn each switch. off, one at a time. And so whenever you hear me say, off, let that part of you go completely dark, totally heavy and still for the rest of the night. And we'll begin at the very bottom, far away from your busy mind, in your toes, just taking a moment to notice them. feeling any sensations there and then finding that switch and flipping it off feeling them go quiet and heavy resting in the enjoyment that they have absolutely nothing left to do and now your feet again noticing the sensations all across them
Starting point is 00:13:44 in the souls and the heels and the ankles, thanking them for all they did today and acknowledging that now it's time for your feet to rest. So finding that switch and turning it all the way down and down until it's off. And you feel your feet relaxing, settling into stillness as you move up into your calves and your shins noticing all of the sensations there and then finding that switch and flipping it all the way down and all the way off as a new sense of softness settles in, moving to your knees,
Starting point is 00:15:48 finding that switch and turning it all the way down, all the way, shifting to your thighs, noticing the muscles, and appreciating all they've done for you today. They're finally allowed to stop now. So find that switch
Starting point is 00:16:39 and slowly, but surely, turn it all the way down and all the way off, feeling as both of your legs now are completely powered down, so heavy and soft that you couldn't even move them if you wanted to, but it's okay, because you don't need to. So move your attention, up to your hips, just noticing any sensations as you find that switch and flip it off, feeling the weight of your hips, melt, and sink all the way down into the bed. Moving now to the lower back, that place that works so hard for you. day after day, maybe there's even some lingering tension there. And if so, you can take a nice deep breath in, finding that switch.
Starting point is 00:18:52 And as you exhale, flipping that switch all the way down and all the way off, feeling that tension, draining out of your lower back. as it finally has permission to rest and relax, shifting your attention now to your belly. Maybe you feel it rise and fall with the rhythm of your breath, thanking it for all it's done today, digesting food and giving you the energy you need to live and thrive. It deserves some good rest. So locate that switch for your belly all the way off feeling it soften and relax as you move your attention to your back taking the time to switch off every inch. every muscle, every articulation along your spine, switching them all the way off, one after another,
Starting point is 00:21:26 all the way up your back until you feel it sinking deeper and deeper down into the bed, perfectly supported and relaxed. And now your change your chest, your chest, you're just a little bit chest, noticing the rhythm of your breath and the beating of your heart, thanking them for keeping you alive without any thought or help from you. They deserve some good rest. So find that switch for your chest and turn it all the way down and down and deeper down. And down. And deeper down. until it's off, shifting your attention to your hands and noticing for a moment. Any sensations there as you acknowledge and thank them for all they've done today and turning that switch for your hands all the way off, feeling them, fall completely loose and limp.
Starting point is 00:24:06 There's nothing left to hold onto or grasp and rest now. Moving up along your arms, turning off each switch, and your wrists and your forearms, your elbows, and your upper arms. All the way down now, all the way off, until both arms are completely heavy, soft and then moving into your shoulders where so much of the day gets stored. He definitely deserves some rest. So thank them for all they've carried and then find that switch for your shoulders and flip it off, feeling them drop and sink and melt all the way down.
Starting point is 00:26:29 into the support of the bed as you continue on into your neck noticing the air moving past your throat there's nothing left to say now so you can turn that switch all the way off feeling your neck let go and then turning off the switch for your jaw feeling it unclench and your cheeks
Starting point is 00:27:52 your lips and your tongue will fall heavy and soft moving now to the muscles around your eyes feeling them soften
Starting point is 00:28:30 and relax as you turn the switch off as your eyelids grow so heavy and relax allowing you to sink just that bit deeper and that softness begins to spread into your forehead and your scalp and the muscles around your ears as you turn off that switch for your head. And now, nearly the whole house is dark. Every room is fallen quiet. Every part of your body is switched off and resting deeper down into the bed with each passing breath. And there's just one. One, light left on in your mind and your mind doesn't have an ordinary switch it has a dimmer because a busy mind doesn't need to be shut off all at once it just needs to be turned down slowly and gently a little bit at a time so imagine turning that dimmer down now, each breath, just that bit more, just that bit darker and darker.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Your thoughts growing dimmer and quieter, fading out of consciousness, harder to notice, and more space between each one turning it down just a little more now as the energy fades and the edges blur there's nothing sharp or urgent just a soft warm light growing darker and darker with each breath sinking and down and even deeper down as you let it all fade away, turning the dimmer for your mind all the way off now. Falls quiet, perfectly still, perfectly relaxed, each breath in you deeper and even deeper still and here. In the quiet, you may notice a thought or two. Still flickering now and then, out of habit, out of momentum.
Starting point is 00:34:10 That's okay. Because the house is still settling, making its little creaks and sounds in the night. Those sounds don't mean that anything needs attention. They're not instructions or emergencies or requests. They're just what naturally happens when you settle for the night. So when a thought does appear, you don't need to get up and check on it. You don't need to follow it. You can simply let it pass as you stay right here, perfectly relaxed and at ease to passing breath.
Starting point is 00:35:40 guides you just that bit closer to sleep because sleep doesn't need every thought to be gone. It just needs you to stop getting up and following these thoughts around. And so, if you're ready to drift farther and farther from any lingering thoughts, I invite you to allow yourself to sink deeper and deeper as I count down from five drifting further from the surface four with nothing to plan or rehearse or check on three drifting deeper and deeper so heavy now So still, so far from the thoughts and worries of the waking world. And two, with nothing left to figure out, nothing to do and nowhere to be, you can let go completely and sink all the way down and down. into this deep, peaceful, and quiet place where rest comes naturally,
Starting point is 00:38:14 and you've begun to lose track of the physical sensations and the waking world. And here, in this deeper place of rest, if a thought tries to pull you back up You simply sink a little farther instead, not arguing with it or pushing it away, just slipping underneath. Where the noise above can't quite reach you anymore, where you can let the unfinished things stay unfinished. All of it can be handled tomorrow. is just for you, for your rest and recovery. All is quiet, all is still, and all is okay. So just let yourself sink deeper and deeper, softening and slowing breath, guiding you just that bit closer into sleep as you allow the
Starting point is 00:40:48 calming affirmations to wash over you and reprogram your thoughts and beliefs and systems around sleep so that each night you return to this session your sleep will become more easy, more quick, more effective and more rejuvenating.
