Deep Sleep Affirmations Perfect for Falling to Sleep

Nothing to picture and nowhere to walk. Just short lines, said twice, until your mind stops arguing about whether it is safe to sleep.

About 15 minutes. Only listen where it is safe to sleep.

My bedroom is ideal for deep healing sleep. Today is already over. My heart is grateful, my mind is quiet, my body is sleeping. You repeat each one after me and they get slower and quieter as we go. It is the plainest thing on the feed, and for some people it is the only one that works.

Treat me to a coffee, keep the podcast free, and get my Weekly Calm every Sunday. It is all on stevenwebb.uk

Thank you for sitting with me.

Steven Webb:

Just while you're making yourself comfortable and getting settled in, I just want to tell you about another podcast I

Steven Webb:

have. It's called Stillness in the Storms Podcast.

Steven Webb:

And it's a podcast that helps you to get a little inner peace when you need it most and you

Steven Webb:

probably have it least.

Steven Webb:

And it's just... Seeing life from a different perspective. And I'm also choosing not to have any

Steven Webb:

sponsors for either of these podcasts. So if you would like to treat me to a coffee, you can head

Steven Webb:

over to StevenWebb.uk or if you'd like to download the five simple practices for inner peace, also head

Steven Webb:

over to StevenWebb.uk. You are awesome. Settle in and enjoy the meditation. I won't disturb you

Steven Webb:

after the meditation.

Steven Webb:

Welcome to Deep Sleep Affirmations. As

Steven Webb:

I say each one of these affirmations, just imagine what it's like to feel it. So when I say my

Steven Webb:

bedroom is ideal for a deep healing sleep, imagine what that's like. And when I say my body is

Steven Webb:

relaxing for a comfortable night's sleep, imagine your body relaxing in that moment. Imagine what it's like for the

Steven Webb:

affirmation to be real.

Steven Webb:

As I go through them, you'll slowly drift off to a good deep healing night's sleep and the music will

Steven Webb:

fade away and you'll wake up in the morning lovely refreshed and ready for your day ahead.

Steven Webb:

So wiggle your body out a little bit, become comfortable and get into the perfect position for sleep.

About the Podcast

Inner Peace Meditations
Short guided meditations for people who cannot meditate. No jargon, no complicated breathing, no promises. Around fourteen minutes. Always free.
Short guided meditations for people who cannot meditate.

That is not a joke, it is the actual brief. If you have ever tried one of these and spent the whole time thinking about whether you were doing it right, then went back to scrolling, these are for you.

I am Steven Webb. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and my mind has never once gone quiet. I stopped trying to make it. That turned out to be the whole thing.

You do not have to empty your head. You never did. The thoughts are not the problem, your relationship with them is.

Most of these run around fourteen minutes. Morning ones to start the day a bit lighter. Evening ones to let the day settle. Some for anxiety, some for anger, some for the nights when sleep is not happening.

No complicated breathing. No visualisations you cannot hold. No promises about who you will be in thirty days.

Free, and staying free.

Steven Webb has been paralysed from the chest down since 1991. He teaches from the mess, not from the mountaintop.
