48. Creating a Peaceful Night Routine + Relaxing Body Scan For Sleep

Mindful Life Changes

The way we wind down at night can have a profound impact on our sleep quality, mood, and readiness for the next day. It’s not just about going to bed; it’s about transitioning to rest in a way that nurtures our body and mind. In this enlightening episode of the Mindful Life Changes Podcast, host Valerie Mekki introduces the transformative R.E.M method—a nightly routine designed to ensure a peaceful and restorative sleep.

R.E.M stands not only for the crucial sleep phase known as Rapid Eye Movement but also for an easy-to-remember guide to crafting your night routine: Room, Electronics, Mindfulness. Valerie will walk you through the steps to optimize your sleeping environment (Room), manage your exposure to electronics (Electronics), and engage in mindfulness practices (Mindfulness), such as a soothing body scan meditation to relax your body and ease your mind into a restful state.

Transforming your night with the R.E.M method sets the stage for a successful morning. By creating conditions conducive to deep, restful sleep, you wake up more energized, focused, and ready to embrace the day with a lighter mood and a clear mind. So, if you're looking to change the narrative of your nights from restless to restful, join Valerie as she explores how the R.E.M method and a calming body scan can redefine the end of your day, setting a peaceful tone for the night and a vibrant start for tomorrow.
