For When You’re Awake in the Middle of the Night

The house is quiet, but your mind is not.

It may be 2 a.m., and everything feels louder in the dark.

You do not need to work through it all tonight.

This guided breathing reset for caregivers uses a slow, steady breath with an exhale that gets a little longer over time. This simple 5 minute breathing exercise gives your mind and body a chance to settle when you are awake in the middle of the night and your thoughts will not slow down.

This episode is for moments when:

• You wake up during the night and cannot settle back down.
• You start thinking about tomorrow’s caregiving needs before morning arrives.
• You are lying in bed going over problems you cannot solve right now.
• You need a little caregiver stress relief without getting up or doing anything complicated.

This short breathing meditation is a small place to rest while the night is still quiet.
