I've watched a couple of meditations from headspace, and i really really like them... BUT sometimes there is a long silence and then boom, a voice, and my heart makes a little jump because it really scared me
This video seems to be one of the only things working for me when I can’t sleep. Works 8/10 times. I don’t even know how or why but it knocks me right out!!
In my case, I always read novel while on bed (before sleeping). After reading for like 30 mins (usually reads non fiction, as fiction often hooks me up to the story), my eyes strain and I get tired. Then I sleep very well! No energy for thoughts to run in my mind. So if anyone is having trouble sleeping, I would definitely recommend reading novels while lying down on bed!
i do this a lot, and when i’m already pretty tired, it works wonders. but sometimes i get really invested in the story and lose sleep 😂 so i guess read something that’s not super engaging but interesting enough to keep your attention until you’re ready to sleep
I just found out if I read verbally (say the words) this makes my breathing like take in a hole breath then let it out slowly as I say the words this slows my heart rate down so sleep comes easy //??
I close my eyes and put my hand on my heart or wrist and focus on my pulse. It's rhythmic and my mind starts waiting for the beats and suddenly I'm not thinking about a dozen different things; just my pulse. It works. I usually take ten minutes to pop off after that
I listened to this while trying to take a nap and while I did not fall asleep, I feel fantastic after! Plus, I got to 9389 and I feel really proud about that. My intention was to let go all energy that no longer serves me, and my neck has been super tense and sore, but after this, I can tell a substantial difference. Thank you so much 🙏
I'm really grateful that there are these free videos. It helps me fall asleep so much. It would be great though to remove the ads at the end of the video since they do tend to wake me up.
This sleep medication has changed my life! I listen to it together with brown noise after, and now I can sleep without my intrusive thoughts keeping me up at night. This is a god sent❤
No problems getting to sleep but then non-sensical repetitive thoughts appear partway through the night. Here it’s 3 am and I feel I’ve had no deep sleep.
I'll wake up in the night, but only half way, in a semi-conscious state. I'm not actually conscious of my environment or of sound but I'm totally absorbed in my mind, in my thinking; and like you said often just random repetitive thinking about some topic. And then after some time I'll become come to my senses, literally haha. Its so strange, if I have a fan on I literally observe the moment that my hearing-sense opens and I become conscious of the sound of the fan, where before I couldn't hear it at all.
I really love this guy's voice you should use him more sleep podcasts, his voice is very calming and soothing, knocks me right out even though I have a very busy mind.
As much as i am so grateful for these meditation videos, It's sad this one didn't work for me because counting backwards was so difficult for me. it reminded me how terrible i am at math and every opportunities i had missed in life because of it. the pain and regrets that suddenly took over me during this session was a surprise. But i think i can now fall asleep with my brain tired from the attempt to count… doesnt seem like anyone's having a problem, but if there's anyone by chance who's not good at counting you’re not alone.
i’m so sorry to hear this :( perhaps instead the next time you try you could count upwards? and if you want to tire out your brain you could try count up in two’s? if that might be too challenging, you could just try counting up normally instead? i hope ur doing okay ❤️
This video has helped me to sleep for like a dozen× times during my entrance preparation and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need it in my college and other things too. Thanks a lot
This guy is phenomenal! I was often waking up during the night. I’ve been trying absolutely EVERYTHING to help me get back to sleep without success 😖. This simple counting backward technique has helped me return to normal. I now sleep quite well. If I wake up at 3am, I immediately start this practice and… 🥱 😴 💤 … Well done mate 👏🏻✊🏻
Ive tried a few of the headspace videos on netflix and this guys voice is the only one that seems to work. Its so calming. A lot of the time i dont make it to the end of the videos as im flat out. Can you not just hire him to come sit on my bed and talk me to sleep every night. Just read me a story or something 😂 it works every time. Andy knows his stuff 👌🏻
I feel the same way !! I’m in college so my sleep schedule is terrible and I’ve had to go from not having any background noises to only being able to listen to him . I’ve literally tired scrolling through all of them to find the playlist with only him on it, but I’ve had no luck
Thank you very much sir. Idk if this is going to help but just watching the video has helped me feel more confident in sleeping. I started two weeks ago when I had a episode when my anti depression medication had as effect reacting with my ibuprofen (I’m 14 year old female) and gave me a panic attack and severe ainxiety and insomnia for a week. I’m starting to work over it and had a hiccup yesterday night where I was un able to sleep. I’ll be okay tonight.
First thing first - are you trying to be calm? 3 things to check - do not block thoughts, judge thoughts, control thoughts. Let them come and let them go - like clouds come and go in the sky. Be the WITNESS to this whole internal phenomena. See how these pieces are the reason why these things happen to you. Next: meditate on the sensations itself. Just be a WITNESS to these sensations.Nothing, NOTHING in this world is permanent. These sensations, thoughts etc these frequency, intensity will keep changing. Become a curious observer to all this. Last: As you practice this, slowly your mind will free itself. It takes a while. At first, if your mind gets wilder - it is a GOOD sign. Sign that it is readying to free up. We call this waterfall experience. When you clean a dirty cup, it looks like cup is getting dirtier when you pour water to it - but in reality it is getting cleaner. Try and let me know if you have questions. Atleast give it a month or two.
@@DhavalKenia thanks! It’s been 2 months since the month long episode and I’ve been traveling around the world, and honestly I’m a different person now and I can sleep, but I will practice what you told me! It really means a lot you sent that. You are a kind human. If you wanted context here’s it short, March 27th 2023 6am I found out my best friend committed suicide. It was a very dark and depressive moment for me as I was the only person mentioned in his good bye note. I felt like it was my fault and started to fall into a deep spiral that felt un escape-able. Went to the doctor to get meds and then they responded terribly on the third day giving me Hallucinations, insomnia, racing heart, and dissociation for three weeks before recovering but the insomnia stayed, I’m much better now but I strive to be better and better.
@@SteelKitty17 thank god you are safe. I wish you all the love and pray for your friend's life. Although what he did is unjustifiable and by no means healthy - I pray that he is in a better place. I hope you forgive yourself and move on with your life in a healthy way. God bless!
This must have been a good one because I don’t remember any of it and hours later I was still sleeping 😃😴 I don’t believe the TH-camr has any control over the ads or their placement. If the ads at the end bother you, try setting your timer to stop playing just before the end, or sign up for premium.
I just downloaded headspace and was needing to hear Andy’s voice to help me sleep. I can’t believe they’re all women now. I don’t relax listening to women. I am so happy to find this video. Thank God! I can fall asleep to his voice. Goodnight 💤
Oh listen, I've been ridiculously in love with this voice for months, all of his meditatios are the reason I kept paying for The app. Now that its all mostly annoying women voices, I canceled my subscription... Im so hapoy to have found them on YT. Just imagine he's lying next to you, gently brushing your hair away from your face and behind your ears. Before you know it your melted into the bed, that soft, perfect voice all up in your headspace. Uh, yes please! I just have to figure out how to make it turn off when it's over instead of screaming an ad and making me clutch ma pearls in fright. Then I'm awake . Ugh, It's still worth it that voice is just plain dreamy💫💆🏽♀️🌙
I always stress myself out over upcoming things and I feel like I have to plan everything out about whatever it is to the last. detail. In actual writing so I can get it out but then I overthink it and re do things and change and edit and all of that till my brain goes into panic and just gives up and doesn’t think about it till the last minute. Pretty annoying but hoping this will help!!
In my case I don't know if I have racing thoughts, it's like my mind is thinking without me, for example the other day I was trying to sleep but for some reason my mind was thinking about something that had to do with the Chinese language and I didn't understand why I was thinking such things, has anybody the same problem as I or similar? If yes, what do you guys do to prevent that from happening?
So this is likely the adrenaline running through your mind caused by background anxiety. I get thoughts like that when I’m anxious just before bed and I get completely random and abnormal thoughts for me
The more you practice observing your thoughts eg through practicing meditation or in therapy, the more you catch them at the beginning and become aware and conscious of their origins and how your mind likes to catch hold of them and tread the same familiar patterns. Acknowledge and meet the needs driving the thoughts and they will calm down.

Doesn't work for me. I can't make it to seven counting backwards without falling asleep... But I'm awoken immediately by a jolt / startle response. Some call it "Exploding Head Syndrome". Each time comes with an adrenaline spike, so it's a downward (or upward) spiral away from restful sleep.
I live with guilt and what if scenarios. I relive my life every night like groundhogs day. Starts with a thought and branches off to another yet another then before you know it im back to my childhood all the way to my present and sometimes future thoughts.... been this way my whole life im 43 now and still can't find anything to help. I find myself staying up until my eyes burn then attempt trying to sleep after that 2.5 hrs later time to be an adult and get kids up and start day. FML lol.... I wish I could just chloroform myself lol...
My advice would be to break that pattern once those thoughts come up. Think of it like a emergency button. Once you start over thinking, get up and do something. Like cleaning, work, hobbies, learning something new helps too. The plan is to break that habit of over thinking.
Have you ever been testing for OCD? There are a lot of similar symptoms to what you’re describing, and can often be the reason for ruminating on obsessive thoughts, past experiences and fears. As someone who has gone through that process, it might be useful to put a name to what you’re going through
What medication are you on? I'm lucky to get 2+ hours total per night. Had insomnia since I was born and doctors are anxious to give medication for it here (due to the government). Thank you @@ernie8401
Counting backwards from 10,000 isn’t difficult or relaxing. It’s really stressful to tell me to do that, though, if you’re going to continue talking, especially if you tell me to randomly mess up and stop on purpose. How is that supposed to be relaxing? My mind is racing because I’m neurotic. Now I’m going to be up counting down until my alarm goes off, as it’s already almost 5:00, and it will take a bit under 3 hours to count all the way down. Thanks a lot.
Really? That is the whole point - for you to forget it . - gently Then just start from 0 to 10,000 - I bet you won’t be able to get to Atleast to 100 and you will be already asleep
I honestly agree, 100 would have felt a lot less stressfull, or just 10 over and over. Especially when he kept talking while I was trying to focus on counting, it just irritated me awake.
It doesn’t take very long to count down to 100 though so your thoughts would just come back again. The whole point is that the number is so ridiculously high that you won’t be able to count down to 1 before you go to sleep.
The number counting distracts your brain from the stressful racing thoughts by narrowing it down to one single thought. The narrator talks over the counting to remind you that it doesn’t matter if you forget a number, just move on to the next one; they also know that people’s counting will get interrupted by their racing thoughts, so he’s essentially talking over those negative thoughts. Obviously if someone’s prone to obsessive compulsion it might not be the right exercise for them, in which case it might be best to look at something specifically targeted at people with obsessive compulsive thoughts.
I've watched a couple of meditations from headspace, and i really really like them... BUT sometimes there is a long silence and then boom, a voice, and my heart makes a little jump because it really scared me
Bro is getting jumpscared by a guided meditation. You really are stressed lol.
Oh my gosh from I've started to prepare myself then I zone out and get scared the shit out of
but i feel like with his type of voice, is the minimum surprise ever, i had listening to worst videos of meditation 😂
Lmao thanks for the heads up OOP know what u mean already!
Bruh the same shit happened to me with this exact one 😭😭
This video seems to be one of the only things working for me when I can’t sleep. Works 8/10 times. I don’t even know how or why but it knocks me right out!!

I have never ended his 10 minutes, I always sleep before

If this works for you , why are you watching this video? Just wondering
That’s bad for your eyes though. Make sure you are reading in good lighting and your eyes shouldn’t strain
For me it's nature/space documentaries. Same idea, different medium!
I close my eyes and put my hand on my heart or wrist and focus on my pulse. It's rhythmic and my mind starts waiting for the beats and suddenly I'm not thinking about a dozen different things; just my pulse. It works. I usually take ten minutes to pop off after that
I love your suggestion. Side note, if you already had the solution, how did you end up here? Lol
Who know it takes you ten minutes.. 🤌🏼10 mins is a long time 😛
Every time I feel my pulse I get nervous and it gets faster and faster and then I’m nauseous
You

True, but don’t beat yourself up for that. Eventually you won’t begin to pay attention to anything or overthink. You gotta feel it

Have you ever been testing for OCD? There are a lot of similar symptoms to what you’re describing, and can often be the reason for ruminating on obsessive thoughts, past experiences and fears. As someone who has gone through that process, it might be useful to put a name to what you’re going through
I only sleep 1-4 hours a night now. It’s been like this for the past 2 months. It’s ruining my life
Go see a doctor, that isn’t good
@@RealslimZ0ra I did I got it under control. With my new meds I sleep 10+ hours a night. It’s awesome
@@ernie8401 Awh I’m so glad!! 😁
@@RealslimZ0ra thank you 🙏🏼
What medication are you on? I'm lucky to get 2+ hours total per night. Had insomnia since I was born and doctors are anxious to give medication for it here (due to the government). Thank you @@ernie8401
Counting backwards from 10,000 isn’t difficult or relaxing. It’s really stressful to tell me to do that, though, if you’re going to continue talking, especially if you tell me to randomly mess up and stop on purpose. How is that supposed to be relaxing? My mind is racing because I’m neurotic. Now I’m going to be up counting down until my alarm goes off, as it’s already almost 5:00, and it will take a bit under 3 hours to count all the way down. Thanks a lot.
Really? That is the whole point - for you to forget it . - gently Then just start from 0 to 10,000 - I bet you won’t be able to get to Atleast to 100 and you will be already asleep
Lol you seem fun💀
I honestly agree, 100 would have felt a lot less stressfull, or just 10 over and over. Especially when he kept talking while I was trying to focus on counting, it just irritated me awake.
It doesn’t take very long to count down to 100 though so your thoughts would just come back again. The whole point is that the number is so ridiculously high that you won’t be able to count down to 1 before you go to sleep.
The number counting distracts your brain from the stressful racing thoughts by narrowing it down to one single thought. The narrator talks over the counting to remind you that it doesn’t matter if you forget a number, just move on to the next one; they also know that people’s counting will get interrupted by their racing thoughts, so he’s essentially talking over those negative thoughts.
Obviously if someone’s prone to obsessive compulsion it might not be the right exercise for them, in which case it might be best to look at something specifically targeted at people with obsessive compulsive thoughts.
I was in bed at 8 still haven’t fallen asleep rn 10:00
Need more sleepcasts
Years of school makes counting not relaxing, i can’t help but race
Why the hell would you put ads at the end of the video. It just defeated the whole damn purpose of this video!!!
