Chibs Okereke Sleep Meditations

You've probably rested a lot lately. Early nights, quiet weekends, whole days horizontal, and the fatigue is still there in the morning.

Rest hasn't failed you. There's physical tension underneath the tiredness, and your body has been holding on so long you've stopped being able to feel it.

Brand new… Deep Sleep Hypnosis for Releasing Physical Tension and Chronic Fatigue Recovery

This one is for the nights you're exhausted and your body still won't switch off.

We turn down the effort your body is making, notch by notch, then release the jaw, the eyes, the shoulders, the hands and the low back. No tensing anywhere, because a tired body doesn't need more to do.

And a slow countdown from twenty to one, down into the stages where the actual repair happens.

A) Resting plenty and still exhausted
B) Tired for months, and sleep isn't touching it
C) Aching from a day of holding it together
D) Exhausted, and my body still won't switch off

A few of you have probably noticed that we don't really post short, daytime meditations on this channel anymore.

That's intentional.

We shifted this channel to focus almost entirely on sleep, and that's still where we want to keep it.

But over the past month, we've been regularly adding new daytime meditations over on Chibs Meditations, and judging by the views and the lovely comments, quite a few of you have been very happy to see them back. 💙

https://youtu.be/a5YD1-Mrs50?si=NFVdV...

This 30-minute vagus nerve meditation is one of the ones you've really been enjoying.

It's designed for those moments during the day when you're wired, overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, or simply feeling like you need to come down a few notches.

We use extended-exhale breathing, an "I am safe" grounding practice, and a slow full-body relaxation that follows the vagus nerve pathway through the body.

You don't need to fall asleep.

You don't need to do anything perfectly.

Just 30 minutes to slow things down, soften the body, and give your nervous system a chance to come out of stress mode.

If you've already been using this one, thank you for all the lovely feedback. And if you've only been following the sleep channel, you might want to have a look at what we've been making over there too.

Much love,

Chibs 💙

If you're awake right now, lying very still with your eyes closed, doing everything you're supposed to do and still nowhere near sleep… I know exactly what that is. I've done it plenty.

Brand new… Wide Awake at 3am, Drifting Into Bliss | Floating Sleep Hypnosis to Let Go and Rest

This is the one for the middle of the night, when you've started working at sleep and it's stopped working back.

No countdown in this one. Your body hands its weight over to the bed five percent at a time, until holding yourself up stops being your job, and then you float.

And a reminder I wish someone had given me years ago: the rest you're in at 3am counts, even before you fall asleep.

A) Lying still, doing everything right, still awake
B) Body exhausted, mind switched right on
C) Awake with that fizzing feeling in my chest
D) Given up, just staring at the ceiling

Tonight, you don't need a quiet mind to get real rest.

The mind can carry on offering things. It just doesn't need you any more tonight.

Brand new… Healing the Tired and Wired Mind | Vagus Nerve Sleep Meditation for ADHD and Deep Rest

For the nights when your body gave up hours ago and your mind is still going.

It works the body down from the feet up and leaves the head until last, so your thinking has somewhere softer to land.

There's also a moment early on where you check your own hands for warmth, because a wired mind likes proof that something's actually working.

A) Wired
B) Restless
C) Fried
D) Wide awake for no reason

Most sleep advice starts at bedtime. That's about ten hours too late.

If you're the capable one who holds it all together, and you're also lying awake at 3am with a mind that won't switch off, the problem usually isn't the night. It's the day you just had, and a nervous system that never got the chance to come down from it.

I've spent a decade working on this, through my YouTube channels, through the Calm app, and in corporate rooms full of high achievers who look fine and aren't.

I'm the burnout guy who burnt out, so I'm telling you none of this from on top of my high horse 😅

A few weeks ago I opened a small community called Tired & Wired. It's where we fix the days that wreck the nights.

I'll teach you how to meditate properly, and give you tools to reduce stress and burnout.

Inside the community, you'll find all my courses - my course on the traits that lead to burnout (perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, procrastination, imposter syndrome, micromanaging and more), a sleep course, my full meditation library ad-free, and live coaching calls with me every week.

The group is for the capable, the driven, and the quietly exhausted.

If that's you, the link is in the comments. There's a free 7-day trial, and if 7 days isn't enough, just email me within 30 days, and I'll refund you in full, no questions asked.

And if you're already burned out and you're worried about putting any more on your plate, don't. In this group, you can go entirely at your own pace.

Chibs 💙

ps. And don't worry, my meditations are always going to be free on YouTube, my sleep channel for the nights, and my daytime channel for the days that wreck the nights!

Your heart feels heavy tonight. And maybe it's been heavy for a long while… carried quietly… while you got on with everything else.

https://youtu.be/wdqP1DgwY7A

Brand new… The Heavy Heart Reset | Sleep Hypnosis for Deep Emotional Release and Self-Compassion

This one is for the nights when the weight in your chest is the thing keeping you awake.

We soften the jaw, the throat and the ache behind the breastbone, then set the whole lot down until morning.

There's a hand-on-the-heart moment early on, and affirmations of release and self-compassion that keep going quietly while you sleep.

If anything feels like a lot tonight, please take it at your own pace.

A) Grief that's still close
B) Holding it together for everyone else
C) Something I can't stop replaying
D) Just heavy, and I couldn't tell you why

Brand new… Fall Back Asleep in Minutes, Not Hours | Fast-Acting Sleep Hypnosis

This is the one for the middle of the night, when you're awake and starting to work out how bad tomorrow is going to be.

No long wind-up. We settle fast, one warm wave of heaviness through the body, then a countdown from ten to zero.

And a reminder that waking between sleep cycles is one of the most ordinary things a body does. You just happened to notice tonight.

A) Wide awake, no idea why
B) Mind went straight to tomorrow's list
C) Replaying a conversation
D) Awake and already doing the hours-left maths

Lying there after another day of bargaining with yourself about food, and already bracing for tomorrow's version of the same.

https://youtu.be/bycCpokHb5o

Brand new… Weight Loss Sleep Hypnosis | Make Peace With Your Body and Calm Emotional Eating

For the nights when the fight with food and your body just won't switch off.

This one settles your nervous system so that rest, and a calmer relationship with eating, can begin from a calmer place, not from control.

There's a moment in it where you're simply allowed to stop fighting your body, and gentle affirmations carry on softly as you fall asleep.

If anything feels like a lot tonight, please take it at your own pace.

When food feels hardest, when does it usually hit?

A) Late at night
B) When I'm stressed or wired
C) When I'm lonely or low
D) Out of nowhere, just habit

A lot of people don't know this...

Before there were millions of hours of sleep meditation...

Before this became a sleep channel...

It all started with a single 30-minute vagus nerve meditation.

That's where this journey began.

Since then, I've been fortunate enough to help millions of people sleep a little better.

Now it feels like the right time to return to those daytime practices too.

Over on Chibs Meditations, we're bringing back vagus nerve resets, morning meditations, and short meditations for busy days.

Almost 6,000 of you have already joined us over there, and I'd love for you to be part of it too.

youtube.com/@ChibsMeditations

Before we go all in, I'd love to build it around what you actually need:

A) Vagus nerve & nervous system resets
B) Morning meditations
C) Quick 5–10 minute meditations for whenever you need them
D) Something else (tell me in the comments)

Drop a letter... or just tell me what's on your mind.

If these daytime meditations sound like something you'd enjoy, I'd love for you to come and join us over on Chibs Meditations.

Much love,
Chibs 💙

If you're reading this at 3am… wide awake… heart going for no reason you can name… this one was made for exactly this moment.

https://youtu.be/0CY28ovoPck

Brand new… The 3am Cortisol Wake-Up | Guided Meditation to Get Back to Sleep

That sudden jolt awake in the small hours isn't danger. It's cortisol, arriving about four hours early.

This meditation lets the surge pass through, and guides your body gently back down to sleep.

And there's one gentle rule inside it: the time stays a mystery. No clock, no maths on the hours left.

When you wake in the night, what's usually happening?

A) Heart going… for no reason I can name
B) Replaying a conversation
C) Doing the maths on the hours left
D) Just awake… no idea why
