How long does sleep meditation take to work?

Some people drift off within a single session, because slow breathing and a calming voice ease the body toward rest quickly. For others, especially if the mind is very active or sleep has been difficult for a while, the reliable benefit builds over a couple of weeks of consistent bedtime practice. Using it as a nightly cue, rather than only on restless nights, tends to work best. StillMind’s personalised sleep practices adapt to how wired or tired you feel.
