62 Sleep Affirmations for Rest, Relaxation, Success, and More

Sleep is one of the most important things we can do for our overall health and well-being. It is essential for our body to get the rest it needs to function at its best. There are many ways to help you get a good night’s sleep, and one of them is as simple as reciting affirmations to yourself before bed.

Using positive sleep affirmations before going to bed is going to help quiet your mind and send a signal to your brain that it’s time for rest.

If you’ve struggled with laying awake for hours at night as your mind races, bedtime affirmations can help you calm your mind enough that you can fall asleep.

It used to take me hours to fall sleep each night, my mind just wouldn’t rest and I would worry about things that happened that day, things that happened 20 years ago, and things that could happen in the future. It was exhausting and frustrating.

When I took control of my thoughts and started telling my brain what to do in a positive way, I started to sleep so much better.

What are Sleep Affirmations?

Sleep affirmations are positive statements that you repeat to yourself at bedtime in order to help you fall asleep. They tell your mind and body that it’s time to slow down, rest, and recharge.

The goal of sleep affirmations is to create positive, empowering commands that focus the mind on relaxation and sleep. Examples of sleep affirmations include “I am calm and relaxed,” “I am comfortable and safe,” or “I am rested and refreshed.”

They can also be about anything that you want to improve in your life, such as your health, your relationships, or your career. Repeating affirmations each night can help you to relax and find rest more easily.

Do affirmations before bed really work?

Sleep affirmations have been shown to be effective in both the short and long term.

Not only can you command your mind to fall asleep in the moment, but over time you can install new empowering beliefs and behaviors into your subconscious mind.

When you consistently use positive bedtime affirmations before you go to sleep you will find that they begin to quickly promote relaxation and an optimistic mindset, and you can use them to change other things about yourself.

The things we tell ourselves everyday become true because they become beliefs and then we act on those beliefs, we make them true without consciously being aware of it.

So can you reprogram your mind while you sleep? Yes, by repeating positive statements over and over again. The mind is most open to suggestion right when you wake up and just before falling asleep, so using affirmations at bedtime is really powerful.

How do you use bedtime affirmations most effectively?

Start with gratitude. Studies have found that gratitude creates better quality sleep so before sayings your chosen affirmations think about 5-10 things you’re grateful for from that day. I can personally attest that gratitude in combination with positive affirmations helps your mind relax and find peace.

Use the present tense like ‘I am’ and ‘right now.’ Saying something like “I hope I fall asleep quickly tonight” is like a wish or suggestion. Instead you have to send a firm command to your brain and establish that right now is the time for sleep.

Focus on the positive. You don’t need to call out the negative things you don’t want, just focus on the feelings and things that you do want to experience. So avoid saying “I hope my brain doesn’t keep me up until 4am again.”

Let yourself feel positive emotions as you say these nighttime affirmations. Just saying the words without any feelings behind them isn’t nearly as powerful as tapping into the emotions.

Repeat them every night. The first time you use them they may not instantly work, but if you are consistent over time they will absolutely begin to work their magic. Repetition is the key to developing any habit or skill.

Make it easy to remember to use them. Try writing down 10 affirmations on a piece of paper and keep it on your nightstand, or tape it to your bathroom mirror and say them to yourself after brushing your teeth at night.
