Body Scan Meditation
Body scan meditation moves attention through the body to calm stress and improve interoception. Regular short sessions support sleep and recovery.
Body scan meditation systematically notices sensation from toes to head—often ten to twenty minutes—training interoception and downshifting stress before sleep. It is evidence-backed for insomnia when paired with CBT-I habits.
No special gear; consistency beats marathon sessions.
Common questions
-
When is the best time for a body scan?
Before bed or after training works for most people. If it increases alertness, shift earlier—goal is calm, not analysis of every ache.
