The aim is that you drift into sleep whilst listening to this session.
The first 1 hour and 8 minutes of this session is a combination of guided relaxation, with spaces for meditation and mindfulness, and suggestions for drifting into sleep. It is generally the relaxation effect from the guided suggestions plus the background music which can help you drift into sleep.
After the spoken words have finished at around 1 hour and 8 minutes, the background music continues for the rest of the 8 hours.
This session can help you drift into sleep if your insomnia is related to worries, or stress, or anxiety, or irregular sleeping patterns, or due to the pressures of everyday life.
However, if you do suffer with insomnia, especially chronic insomnia, it is worthwhile seeing your doctor to make sure there is not an underlying cause for your insomnia.
