Guidance

Body-scan whispersSlow words that appear and fade, guiding you to relax one part of the body at a time. Breath toneA soft tone that swells as you breathe in and falls as you breathe out, so you can follow with your eyes closed.

Set your phone to Do Not Disturb and turn the volume down before you lie down. On iPhone, check that the silent switch is off.

Tips for deeper sleep

Keep the room cool, dark and quiet. Around 16 to 19 °C (60 to 67 °F) suits most people.
Keep a steady bedtime and wake time, weekends included.
Stop caffeine about eight hours before bed, and go easy on alcohol: it fragments sleep.
Dim the lights and put work away for the last hour of the day.
If you are still awake after about 20 minutes, get up, do something quiet in low light, and return when sleepy.

Theta waves (4 to 8 Hz) are offered as an optional relaxation aid. Research on whether they improve sleep is limited and mixed, so use them if you find them calming.

Drift is a relaxation aid, not a medical treatment. If poor sleep goes on for weeks, talk to a doctor.
