Body Scan for Sleep

Jet lag, hotel rooms, late-night screen time — the traveling professional faces unique sleep challenges. This body scan practice is designed to help you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply, regardless of timezone or environment. Lying down, begin at the crown of your head and slowly move your attention through each body part, noticing sensations without judgment. At each point, consciously release any tension you find. The practice moves from head to shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, hips, legs, and feet. The key is slowness. Most people rush through body scans. Give each area at least 30 seconds of attention. By the time you reach your feet, your nervous system will have shifted into rest-and-digest mode, making the transition to sleep natural and effortless.
