A guided meditation for sleep and racing thoughts works best when you reduce stimulation and narrow attention to breath + body sensation.
Pre-sleep setup
- dim lights 30 minutes before bed
- avoid intense scrolling
- keep your room cool and quiet
Sleep wind-down meditation
Use this prompt in DeepCalm: "I can't stop thinking at night. Help me slow down and prepare for sleep in 10 minutes."
The goal is not perfect silence—it is a gentle downshift of arousal.
