About this session
- Eases bedtime worry
- Relaxes the body
- Encourages restful sleep
- Builds calm confidence
House of Wellbeing leads this hypnotherapy session from a long, slow sigh into a seaside daydream: a grassy island, an orchard, warm sand and rolling waves. Once you are deeply relaxed, the voice turns to your worries, asking you to find one in your body and let its colour fade away.
It suits nights when your mind keeps rehearsing tomorrow. Play it in bed with the lights low. It also suggests keeping a pen and paper nearby, so you can note down no more than six concerns and leave them for the morning.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the session ask me to write down my worries?
The voice suggests that writing them down signals your body that they are for tomorrow, not now. You list no more than six, and ask yourself for any solutions. If none come, you let them rest and trust your intuition to offer answers while you sleep. In the morning you read the list again with fresh eyes.
What is the exercise with the colour or shape?
You notice where a worry sits in your body, perhaps in your head, stomach or chest. Then you give it a calming colour or a shape you admire. You lighten the colour again and again until it fades to nothing, or shrink the shape until it dissolves.
What does 'rest is for tonight, worry is for tomorrow' mean?
It is the track's central phrase, repeated near the middle and again at the end. It does not ask you to ignore your concerns. It invites you to give them a different time, so night becomes for resting and daytime for dealing with them.
Does it say worry is bad?
No. It says some worry is normal and can motivate you to act or prepare. The aim is balance: too much worry holds you back, too little leaves you without direction. You are guided to let go of the excess only.
Why does it ask me to remember a time I slept well?
Late in the session you picture a time when you were carefree and slept deeply. It might be last week, last year or childhood. The suggestion is that your body and mind remember this and can click back to being a good sleeper.
What happens at the very end?
After the closing suggestions and a goodnight, the voice explains that if you want to keep sleeping you can ignore the wake-up part and sleep until your chosen time. If you want to wake, it counts from one to five and you open your eyes.
