I'm Chibs Okereke, and I create sleep meditations and sleep hypnosis to help you unwind, switch off, and drift into deep rest.
Sleep is foundational to everything, yet 1 in 3 adults doesn't get enough, leaving their nervous systems stuck in overdrive.
My meditations have helped millions sleep better. I'm a meditation instructor on the Calm app, an accredited mindfulness facilitator, and a certified clinical hypnotherapist.
I make these because I've been there myself: anxiety, insomnia, burnout. I know what it's like when your mind won't stop, and your body won't let you rest.
I've also opened a small private community where we work on the days that wreck your nights. A sleep course, a burnout course, a learn-to-meditate course, a weekly live call with me, and my full meditation library: www.skool.com/chibs
If the meditations here are all you need, that is more than enough. They aren't going anywhere.

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

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.

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 💙

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

It's open.
Tired & Wired is a small private community for the people who hold everything together and can't switch off. Calmer days, kinder nights.
Every week there's a live call with me, and I'll answer ALL of your comments and questions and posts every day. There's a course on burnout, a course on sleep, and I'll teach you to meditate properly, the way it's taught in clinics and hospitals. My whole meditation library is in there too, ad free.
It's $79 US dollars a month. The first fifty founding members pay $49 per month, and keep that price for as long as they stay. There's a free week to try it, and a thirty-day no-questions refund after that, so having a proper look costs you nothing.
And if you join this week and stay at least past month 1, I'll record you a personalised meditation. You choose stress, anxiety or sleep, you tell me what keeps you tired or wired, and I'll record the introduction for you myself.

And if the meditations here are all you need, that is more than enough. They aren't going anywhere. And neither am I 💙

Tomorrow I'm opening a small private community called Tired & Wired.
It's for the ones who can do everything except switch off.
Inside there's a live call with me (and maybe Olive too) every week. A course on burnout. A course on sleep. I'll teach you to meditate properly, start to finish. And my whole meditation library sits in there in one app, ad free, with nothing interrupting you.
And just so you know, the sleep meditations on this channel stay free. Always. Plus I'm relaunching my other channel soon which will be all about daytime meditations.
But if reading that made something in you sit up, come back tomorrow. I'll post the link right here 💙
ps. if you're on Instagram, I've been sharing the whole story over there this week: www.instagram.com/chibs.co/

Here's something to try tonight. It takes two minutes, and it happens at your dining room table or your desk, not in your bed.
Before you finish for the day or stop work, write down everything that isn't finished. Not a to-do list. A list of the things still open.
Then beside each one, write the very next action, and when you'll do it.
Then close the notebook or put the piece of paper away.
Because the mind keeps unfinished things switched on. It isn't waking you at three because you're anxious. It's waking you because nothing has been caught, and it doesn't trust that anything will be. Writing it down, with a next step and a time, is how the mind agrees to let go.
It might not work the first night. Give it a week.
This is what I mean when I say the days wreck the nights. The solution to good sleep isn’t always in the bedroom.
If it works, please don’t stop listening to my sleep meditations, otherwise I won’t give you any more tips 😅🤣
Obviously I’m kidding… I would love nothing more for you to not need my sleep meditations any more… But then you can listen to my daytime meditations instead 😉
On Thursday I'm opening a place where we do a lot more of this. But try that tonight, whatever happens on Thursday, and tell me how you get on. 💙

This is a post for a particular kind of listener.
Some of you come here at night because the day won't let go of you. You held it all together, you got everything done, and then your mind started up the moment the room went quiet.
I've spent years building something for the daytime side of that. It opens on Thursday, and I'll tell you about it here.
If the meditations are what you need, they're not going anywhere. That is more than enough, always.
But I'm curious. Which one is you?
ps. I want to keep this channel sleep meditation focused, so I don't really want to start posting shorts here. I'm going to be posting sleep related reels on my instagram soon tho, so come follow me over there if you want to learn more about sleep, stress, exhaustion, along with tips and tools to help with all of them - www.instagram.com/chibs.co/ 💙

Awake at 3am again?
Not fully awake. Not fully asleep.
Just... there. Wondering why your body forgot how to do the thing it's done every night of your life.
https://youtu.be/tza0FOzymTo
Brand new... Awake at 3am Again? Sleep Hypnosis to Drift Back Down
This session is designed specifically for those middle-of-the-night wake-ups when trying harder to sleep only seems to make things worse.
We use gentle body awareness, progressive relaxation, and slow hypnotic guidance to help the nervous system stop fighting wakefulness and gradually settle back into rest.
As the body softens, feelings of warmth, heaviness, and safety are gently reinforced... before soft rain sounds continue quietly in the background to help carry you back into sleep.
When you wake at 3am, what's usually happening?
A) My mind starts planning
B) I replay conversations or worries
C) My body feels anxious or alert
D) No clear reason... I'm just awake
Just drop A, B, C, or D below.
Much love,
Chibs 💙
