Another routine from meditation coach Julian Meres to help us deal with sleep problems.

Insomnia is a serious issue for 50% of us; either finding it impossible to fall asleep in the first place, waking up in the middle of the night and struggling to drop off again, or both.

Although mindfulness and meditation isn't a magic bullet, one of its many side-effects is to encourage us to have a good night’s rest. It can shorten the time it takes us to fall asleep in the first place, and if we do wake up with a racing mind, to get us back to sleep again quicker.
