Carried by the Night — Sleep Hypnosis for Waking in the Night and Staying Asleep

Guided self-hypnosis for falling asleep and staying asleep — for the 3am waking, and the long way back down into rest.

Carried by the Night is built around a single image: a cloud the color of moonlight on still water, holding you the way the sea holds a stone. Beneath a sky of slow-wheeling stars, the day's unfinished business becomes lights from a distant shore — visible, maybe, but no longer calling you. Holly guides a full release from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head, then counts down from ten to one — not into darkness, but into softness.

The session leaves you with something portable: three breaths and one word — carried — an anchor you can use on any night the mind won't settle. Because surfacing in the small hours isn't a failure. It's the tide. This teaches you the way back down.

There's no wake-up at the end. The voice thins, the stars dim, and the session leaves you sleeping. Approximately 45 minutes.

Listen lying down, somewhere you can stay. Headphones recommended, at a volume low enough to sleep through.
