Free guided sleep meditation

A guided sleep meditation is a slow, spoken audio session you listen to at bedtime while you wind down. On 2hives you can play a three-minute sample in a single tap, with no account and no email address, and a free account plays the whole session, in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian or Japanese. Sessions run from a few minutes to a full hour, so you can pick a short wind-down or a longer night program. It is made for anyone who likes to end the day with a calm voice, and listening is free for good. This is relaxation audio, not medical advice: if sleep is a problem for you, please talk to a doctor.

How to set up a calm bedtime listen

1. Pick a regular time. The same half hour each evening makes the routine feel familiar.
2. Soften the room. Dim the lights and put your phone on silent, face down within reach.
3. Keep the volume low. The voice should be easy to hear but never loud.
4. Choose a speaker or earphones. A small speaker at low volume suits many people. If you use earphones in bed, take them out if you drift off.
5. Lie comfortably and follow the voice. If your mind wanders, that is normal. Come back to the words.

What this is, and is not

The NHS describes mindfulness as paying more attention to the present moment. A sleep meditation uses that idea at the end of the day. It is a relaxation practice. We make no promise about your sleep or about how you will feel afterwards.
