Can Meditating Make you go to Sleep Faster?

Meditate to Sleep Better

Meditate to Sleep Better

Meditation is a key element and tool for people who have trouble getting to sleep or waking up in the middle of the night.

In the tough economic times we are currently living in, many of us are suffering from insomnia and anxiety. This leads to us not getting to sleep until the wee hours of the night, waking up several times during the night, or worse yet not sleeping at all. Sometimes we do go to sleep only to be awoken by nightmares or dreams that result in us being in a bad mood the whole next day.

Meditation can help you get to sleep faster and for a longer amount of time. It can also help you reach deeper levels of sleep so that you can get your much needed REM sleep on a nightly basis.

So many people have realized that meditation is an essential sleep aid that many meditation teachers have created guided meditations specifically to improve sleeping patterns and reduce anxiety. Feel free to follow any of the guided meditation videos for better sleep from The Big List of Guided Meditations.

Please give me feedback on your experience since I update the list regularly and enjoy reading the comments!

  • Hi Sasha,

    I’ve actually received several emails from women who describe similar problems with sleeping patterns after they have a child. They’ve used the binaural beats that I refer to in the site and have had excellent results. You can try getting a free download of a binaural beat at http://www.meditation-downloads.com and try them out too!

  • Sasha Wellington says:

    This is a God-send! I’m going to try out the binaural beats you talk about in your mixing guide because I have not been able to have a full night’s sleep since I had my last baby 3 years ago. For some reason, my sleeping patterns have now completely changed and it’s extremely difficult for me to get to bed. I’ve been battling insomnia for these past three years and its only gotten worse. Thank you for putting the information about the binaural beats you are using.
