A guided relaxation for sleep releases the body area by area, using progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, yoga nidra or slow breathing, in 10 to 20 minutes. The sessions below are free, with no ads and no sign-up: press play, in bed, lights off.

A guided relaxation for sleep helps your body let go of what the day has tightened: your jaw, shoulders, stomach, legs. The voice guides you step by step; there's nothing to achieve, just follow along.

The sessions below draw on the classic relaxation methods: progressive muscle relaxation (tense, then release each muscle), autogenic training (feeling your body grow heavy and warm), yoga nidra (moving your attention through the body) and slow breathing. They last 10 to 20 minutes, and the music fades out on its own.

They're free, with no ads and no sign-up: just press play, in bed, with the lights off.

Frequently asked questions

Which relaxation technique is best for sleep?
If your body feels tense, progressive muscle relaxation; if your mind is racing, autogenic training or yoga nidra; if you feel wired, a slow-breathing session. Try a few: the one that suits you is the right one.
How long before bed?
At bedtime, once you're in bed. A 10 to 20 minute session is enough; you may fall asleep before the end.
Can relaxation replace treatment?
No. It's a moment to unwind. If sleep stays difficult for several weeks, talk to a doctor.
