Tonight’s sleep opportunity
12:30 am–7:00 am6 hr 30 min
Let yourself settle.
Before bed
Find a position you can rest in.
Let your attention travel slowly from your toes up to your hips. Then from your fingertips up to your shoulders. Then from your hips, up through your body to the top of your head.
As you go, notice how each place feels. Let any tension soften if it can. If it doesn’t soften, allow the tension to remain. You don’t need to fight it or push it away.
You might linger at your belly, shoulders, or face. Let your jaw ease, your forehead soften, and your eyes settle gently in their sockets.
Let your whole body rest as it is.
Notice. Allow. Rest.
Imagine the surface beneath you taking your whole weight. Let yourself be heavy. There’s nothing you need to hold up.
Put the phone down when you’re ready. Let yourself rest with the feeling.
Your usual sleep opportunity, a few estimates from the night, and how awake you feel during the day. Rest asks for more detail when it has a specific question to understand.
Do I need a sleep tracker?
No. Rest starts with what you tell it. You don’t need a watch or wearable.
What if a suggestion doesn’t help?
That helps Rest learn, too. It uses what you notice to reconsider the suggestion and choose what might be worth trying next.
