Gently drift into peaceful, restful sleep

Let yourself settle into the place where you sleep. Feel the weight of your body pressing gently down.
The bed holds you completely. You do not need to hold anything at all.
Let your eyes close, and let the day begin to loosen its grip on you.
Whatever happened today is finished now. Whatever waits for tomorrow can wait a little longer.
Breathe in slowly through your nose.
And let the breath go out, soft and easy.
One more slow breath in.
And out, like a sigh of relief.
Now bring your attention to your feet. Let them grow heavy and warm.
Let that heaviness move up through your legs, slow and gentle, like warmth spreading under a blanket.
Feel your hands grow still and loose. Your arms relax down into the bed.
Your shoulders soften and drop away from your ears.
Let your jaw loosen. Let your forehead smooth. Your whole face grows calm and quiet.
Your body is heavy now, sinking deeper into the bed with every breath out.
In your mind, picture a calm, dark lake under a quiet night sky.
The water is perfectly still. The air is soft and cool.
You are drifting slowly across that still water, safe and weightless, with nothing to do and nowhere to be.
If thoughts drift in, let them pass like clouds across the night sky.
You do not need to follow them. You do not need to push them away. Just let them float on by.
Each breath out carries you a little deeper into rest.
Deeper and softer.
Slower and stiller.
There is nothing left to do now. Nothing left to fix or figure out.
The night is holding you, and you can let go completely.
Let sleep come to you gently, the way night settles over the lake.
Peaceful. Quiet. Deep.
Rest now. Sleep well.
