Sleep meditation: two free guided meditations to fall asleep

Press play: free guided sleep meditations

Narrated with a calm AI voice. Scripts written by SleepHz. No ads, and nothing interrupts the sound.

How to use a sleep meditation

1. Get into bed first. Lights low, phone face down, volume just loud enough to hear the voice.
2. Press play and close your eyes. You don't need to do anything right; just follow along.
3. Let yourself fall asleep. That's the goal. The music keeps going after the voice, so nothing wakes you.
4. Use the same one for a week. A familiar voice and script becomes a cue your body learns to relax to.

Does sleep meditation work?

There's good early evidence. In a randomized trial in JAMA Internal Medicine (2015), older adults with sleep problems who took a short mindfulness meditation course slept better than a group taught standard sleep-hygiene tips.

A guided recording helps because it gives a busy mind something gentle to follow instead of replaying the day. Slow breathing and relaxing the body one part at a time are the same tools used in many relaxation programs.

It isn't a treatment for insomnia or a sleep disorder. If you regularly can't sleep, or you're exhausted during the day, talk to a doctor.

Sleep meditation for manifestation

“Fall Asleep in the Wish Fulfilled” follows the technique Neville Goddard taught: relax into the drowsy state just before sleep, then imagine one short scene that would happen after your wish came true, as if it's happening now, and fall asleep in that feeling.

Read the full method in Neville Goddard's SATS technique, or pair it with the money frequency during the day.

For anxiety and overthinking at night

If your thoughts race when you lie down, start with “Let the Day Dissolve.” It spends its first minutes on slow breathing and letting the body grow heavy before asking anything of your mind.

If you'd rather not hear a voice, try sleep frequencies or rain sounds with a sleep timer.
