REST - Your Nighttime Calm

Below you’ll find techniques designed to both calm and distract the mind during the night. These have been split into breath based and mind shuffling practices.

Learn them in the day. Try them at night.

Breath Techniques

All of these techniques use lengthened exhales to send a powerful calm signal to your brain. In addition they use counting or visualisation to distract a brain from spiralling thoughts. I recommend practicing these at bedtime to link the practice to sleep and relaxation, so when you revisit them in the night, your brain already has that association.
