The Sleep affirmations meditation is a five-minute practice designed to ease you into a restful night's sleep. By focusing on deep breathing and a soothing visualisation, you can release the events of the day and embrace relaxation. This meditation is perfect for those nights when you struggle with sleep due to irregular shift work and need a quick way to unwind before bed.
Mindfulness-based interventions, including visualisation techniques, have been shown to improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms (Braun et al., 2023). Practicing this guided visualisation meditation before bed helps you cultivate relaxation and ease, promoting better sleep quality and overall well-being, even amidst the challenges of shift work.
