I'm wired but tired

A gentle way to wind down

You’re exhausted, but when it’s time to rest, your mind feels busy and your body still feels alert. 

It can be frustrating to want sleep and feel unable to settle. 

Start by making the next few minutes quieter, without putting pressure on yourself to fall asleep.

Try This

  • Lower the lights if you can. 
  • Put both feet on the floor and take a few comfortable, unhurried breaths. 
  • Notice whether your jaw or shoulders can soften. 
  • There’s nothing you need to force.
