50+ Sleep Affirmations For A Deep And Restful Sleep!

We often overlook the importance of wellness and mindfulness in keeping our mental well-being strong. As adults, we have a thousand things to worry about in our hectic days, and we tend to put simple things like a good night’s rest, mindfulness, and wellness into the back of our minds. Believe it or not, this move can have consequences and add to the already increasing stress in our lives.

I can’t say about you, but I’ve struggled with getting a restful sleep in the last few years. While I’ve tried sleep meditation (and it worked), I still struggle from time to time. So, keeping that in mind, I decided to give sleep affirmations a try, and guess what? It works!

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, insomnia, nighttime stress, or anything that makes it hard for you to fall asleep, sleep affirmations before bed can be a good approach to try. In the last few years, I’ve decided to put more focus on my sleep routine – including what kind of food I eat for dinner, what skin care routines I follow, and what I listen to before bed.

With time, I realized that maintaining a healthy sleep routine helped me fix my sleep issues somewhat. Doing sleep meditation, gentle movement exercises before bed, and even writing in a journal helped me a lot during my experimental days.

In recent times, I’ve heard a lot about sleep affirmations before bed and how they can help stop the cycle of excessive thoughts, overthinking, and rumination while promoting healthy and restful sleep.

In this article, I’ve compiled a list of 50+ sleep affirmations that you can use to catch a good night’s rest and wake up feeling refreshed and confident. Before we get to sleep affirmations, let’s take a look at what bedtime affirmations are and do they work.

What Are Sleep Affirmations?

Sleep affirmations or bedtime affirmations are short quotes, phrases, words, or mantras – like your regular affirmations – that you can say to yourself or write down in your sleep journal to put your mind in a state of mental peace and let go of all negative thoughts that you’ve accumulated during your day.

These sleep affirmations help you focus on your positive thoughts, let go of daily stress, and prepare your mind (and body) for restful sleep.

But, can sleep affirmations work while we sleep?

YES! Putting positive energy into your environment – through thoughts, affirmations, phrases, or quotes – can stimulate your mind and physical surroundings positively. When we’re sleeping, our minds are in a subconscious state where they are always working. All the thoughts we’ve had in our day are played out in our subconscious state in the way of dreams.

Dreams are a direct result of our state of mind, thoughts, and experiences. If you go to sleep with negativity in your mind, you’ll experience nightmares and will have a fitful sleep. You’ll wake up exhausted too. But if you go to sleep with positive thoughts and mindset, you’ll be better rested in the morning and will have a restful sleep.

Here are some of the best sleep affirmations you can try before bed to catch up on that restful Zzzs.
