(Image credit: Getty/FreshSplash) Night 3 Within about 10 minutes I was asleep again – and had a vivid dream about shooting stars. I did wake up in the middle of the night, but instead of using my trusty 4 7 8 sleep method, I jumped back into this video. I didn’t make it through more than 20 minutes before yanking out my Airpods and falling asleep.
By the time bedtime rolled around I was looking forward to taking another dive into this sleep meditation and focusing my mind on stars, not work.Įven though I felt wired earlier in the evening, the combination of my usual bedtime routine and this guided sleep meditation soon took effect. Last night’s relaxing vibe stayed with me through the morning, but by the afternoon my growing to-do list was ramping up my stress levels. I vaguely remember taking my Airpods out of my ears before falling asleep, feeling relaxed and quiet of mind. I got about 35-ish minutes into the hour-long video before my eyes started to feel super-heavy.
While this type of language isn’t for everyone, I’m kinda used to it after 11 years’ of yoga classes and endless guided sleep meditations. However I have to admit to a little eye-rolling when Jason said “you are the child of stars”. The big focus in the beginning is on letting go of your thoughts and to simply be in this sleep meditation, feeling safe, warm and quiet. Anyone who says “you are about to take a journey into the depths of relaxation” has my vote, and I could soon feel my body relaxing shoulders dropping, face softening.
My day was really busy, so the chance to ditch my worries and focus instead on visualizing the night sky was a novelty.
