Sleep affirmations
Lying awake is rarely about tiredness. Usually the day is still running — tomorrow's list, today's awkward conversation, a sentence you wish you had said differently.
Bedtime affirmations give attention something dull and kind to hold. Repeat one slowly, in time with your breathing, and let it be boring. Boring is what you want here.
