You might feel completely exhausted at night, but if your nervous system is still “on,” your body won’t fully let go into rest. 🌙 This is why so many of us lie awake with racing thoughts, tension in our bodies, and a sense that deep sleep is just out of reach.

The truth is, the quality of your sleep is directly tied to the state of your nervous system. If you go to bed dysregulated, your system stays on high alert, which makes it harder to stay asleep through the night.

😴 But when you regulate before bed, everything changes. Your breath slows, your muscles release, your heart rate settles, and your mind begins to soften. In this state, sleep not only comes more easily, it’s also deeper and more restorative. ✨

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you through a Bedtime Nervous System Reset - a gentle somatic meditation designed to help you regulate, release the day, and prepare your whole body for the kind of nourishing rest you’ve been longing for. 💤💤💤

🎧 Give yourself these few minutes before sleep and notice the difference: falling asleep more quickly, waking less often, and rising in the morning with more clarity, energy, and ease.

Something That’s Really Helped My Sleep 😴

I’ve been using a small handheld device called The Chill Pill for the past six months, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my sleep. You just hold it in your hand, and it sends soft electrical pulses into your palm that help calm your nervous system. It’s subtle, but so effective - especially when your body feels wired but tired.

If your system struggles to settle at night (or you just want a gentle way to support your regulation), I really recommend it.
