About Sleep — Relaxation Me

Support sleep preparation and nighttime relaxation.

Why it helps

Pre-sleep relaxation reduces hyperarousal, one of the main barriers to sleep onset. Consistent routines also strengthen behavioral sleep conditioning.

How to practice

• Begin before you are exhausted so the routine can work.
• Dim stimulation and keep transitions predictable each night.
• Repeat the same sequence to condition a sleep onset cue.

Techniques

• Sleep Stories — Use slow-paced narrative prompts to redirect racing thoughts before sleep.
• Bedtime Wind Down for Sleep — Follow a four-phase bedtime wind down routine to release the day, soften the body, breathe, and drift toward sleep.
• Sleep Sounds — Use steady ambient sound for sleep support and overnight noise masking.
