I've watched a couple of meditations from headspace, and i really really like them... BUT sometimes there is a long silence and then boom, a voice, and my heart makes a little jump because it really scared me

This video seems to be one of the only things working for me when I can’t sleep. Works 8/10 times. I don’t even know how or why but it knocks me right out!!

This guy's voice was put on earth for meditations

The only voice that can get me to relax and fall asleep without fail! Thank you!

This mans voice is so calming 😌

babe get ready for bed, new headspace vid just dropped

In my case, I always read novel while on bed (before sleeping). After reading for like 30 mins (usually reads non fiction, as fiction often hooks me up to the story), my eyes strain and I get tired. Then I sleep very well! No energy for thoughts to run in my mind. So if anyone is having trouble sleeping, I would definitely recommend reading novels while lying down on bed!

Mediation is magical. It’s like a gift after a long day and I love it

I close my eyes and put my hand on my heart or wrist and focus on my pulse. It's rhythmic and my mind starts waiting for the beats and suddenly I'm not thinking about a dozen different things; just my pulse. It works. I usually take ten minutes to pop off after that

who is this man with that voice, truly soothing and calm

I watch this so much I think I just pavlov-ed myself into falling asleep to this man's voice

Is it just me or his voice is the most soothing one at least of what I've heard

No problems getting to sleep but then non-sensical repetitive thoughts appear partway through the night. Here it’s 3 am and I feel I’ve had no deep sleep.

I listened to this while trying to take a nap and while I did not fall asleep, I feel fantastic after! Plus, I got to 9389 and I feel really proud about that. My intention was to let go all energy that no longer serves me, and my neck has been super tense and sore, but after this, I can tell a substantial difference. Thank you so much 🙏

His voice is so nice and soothing

I love his voice and accent, absolutely beautiful ❤️

Seriously who is the narrator? He is sooooo good at mimicking the voice of a person who is on the edge of falling asleep.

This sleep medication has changed my life! I listen to it together with brown noise after, and now I can sleep without my intrusive thoughts keeping me up at night. This is a god sent❤

I just downloaded headspace and was needing to hear Andy’s voice to help me sleep. I can’t believe they’re all women now. I don’t relax listening to women. I am so happy to find this video. Thank God! I can fall asleep to his voice. Goodnight 💤

Thank you so much for all these uploads

As much as i am so grateful for these meditation videos, It's sad this one didn't work for me because counting backwards was so difficult for me. it reminded me how terrible i am at math and every opportunities i had missed in life because of it. the pain and regrets that suddenly took over me during this session was a surprise. But i think i can now fall asleep with my brain tired from the attempt to count… doesnt seem like anyone's having a problem, but if there's anyone by chance who's not good at counting you’re not alone.

Helped my sister fall asleep thanks

Precious gift from Headspace 🌺✨ Thank you.

Thank you very much sir. Idk if this is going to help but just watching the video has helped me feel more confident in sleeping. I started two weeks ago when I had a episode when my anti depression medication had as effect reacting with my ibuprofen (I’m 14 year old female) and gave me a panic attack and severe ainxiety and insomnia for a week. I’m starting to work over it and had a hiccup yesterday night where I was un able to sleep. I’ll be okay tonight.

ITS 4 AM AND MY ADHD MOKEY BRAIN WONT SHUT UP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE WORK.

I’ve watched this video for the past week, helps me so much

Thanks for providing these videos on KZfaq. I loved your series on WW

Ive tried a few of the headspace videos on netflix and this guys voice is the only one that seems to work. Its so calming. A lot of the time i dont make it to the end of the videos as im flat out. Can you not just hire him to come sit on my bed and talk me to sleep every night. Just read me a story or something 😂 it works every time. Andy knows his stuff 👌🏻

I was 9 at the age of my father’s death and it not like this helped at all but it got my mind off of things so thanks from the bottom of my heart

This is very relaxing I can’t stop watching your videos 😴

I love this I recognise his voice off Netflix as well!!!!

Thank you, 🙌❤️

This truly helped, using those technique truly helped me, i was out for the count before i knew it

This helped me out of an anxiety attack. Finding mental peace is difficult.

I am starting to have a crush on this guy's accent after listening each night 🤣

I love this one, it really helps me

Love this guy for falling back to sleep all the time.

I love this meditation but I can’t count when someone talks and then I get really frustrated counting back from 10000 when there’s still talking 😂

This does not work when changing the speed to 2x.

brooo i just woke up and i was like such a nice sleep and then i saw my laptop is open , i realised that i had put this on and i slept

This is so easy to learn the video

Is this the modern version of counting sheep?

This is good

This is the only thing that makes me fall asleep when i cant sleep.

Is this on Spotify?

I love this one....thanks Andy

I was just starting to fall asleep and then the video ended and an ad scared me awake. Thanks KZfaq.

❤️✝️✝️✝️🥘🍲💤😴😇God is good My grandma is making a warm vegetable stew right now on a wood fire stove 🔥🔥🔥smells so good Sleep time :)))

I listened to this after taken a eightball slept like a baby powerful stuff 😊

In my case I don't know if I have racing thoughts, it's like my mind is thinking without me, for example the other day I was trying to sleep but for some reason my mind was thinking about something that had to do with the Chinese language and I didn't understand why I was thinking such things, has anybody the same problem as I or similar? If yes, what do you guys do to prevent that from happening?

The stripe on the train being off center is bothering me so much

I’m awake at 6am in the morning 😅 hopefully this helps ! Cause it seem relaxing enough!

I always stress myself out over upcoming things and I feel like I have to plan everything out about whatever it is to the last. detail. In actual writing so I can get it out but then I overthink it and re do things and change and edit and all of that till my brain goes into panic and just gives up and doesn’t think about it till the last minute. Pretty annoying but hoping this will help!!

Bro when I was trying to count down from 10000 and he kept talking and making me lose count it was making me more stressed lmao

Reading and a warm milk before bed

It I don’t hear from my loved ones, I CONSTANTLY fear they have died. I don’t understand it. It’s so overwhelming 😢 nothing helps

From 10,000????😢

Bro i got a ad at the end eat scared me and now im back where i started

I love his voice tho

Need more sleepcasts

Anybody have any tips on what you do for racing thoughts? I seem to have em alot and even get headaches from it.

Cute train

Nice

everytime I was drifting off to sleep, you kept saying long sentences that would make me wake right back up...

❤

Op I nearly fell asleep while writing this

Fell asleep 5 mins into the video.

This was going very well until I noticed the sound of a mosquito appearing in my room, gone was the restful mind…

Can anybody plz let me know the other videos of this guy?? plzplzplz

I was listening to this and it was working until I got an add

For people who want to skip right to the exercise: 1:25

the counting backwards parts always take me out of it. i don’t want to count backwards. can we get something else.

I live with guilt and what if scenarios. I relive my life every night like groundhogs day. Starts with a thought and branches off to another yet another then before you know it im back to my childhood all the way to my present and sometimes future thoughts.... been this way my whole life im 43 now and still can't find anything to help. I find myself staying up until my eyes burn then attempt trying to sleep after that 2.5 hrs later time to be an adult and get kids up and start day. FML lol.... I wish I could just chloroform myself lol...

ANDY PLEASE UNLOCK HEADSPACE APP SO I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE

❤🙏

This didn’t help for me, my brain focused on the counting so much that it realized my body wasn’t moving and my legs started to move recklessly, I swear my legs hate me or something because it does this every night despite doing all the tips and tricks to not feel reckless at night

This made me cack 10/10

My kinda just starts screaming and my whole body just goes on 2x speed and sometimes I just feint lol! It actually hurts tho

Welcome to join Sunday sabha.

I was in bed at 8 still haven’t fallen asleep rn 10:00

I usually love theses videos but he sounds over it in this recording and I can’t handle that after trying to get back to sleep for 90 min

TEN THOUSAND!?!?!?

Years of school makes counting not relaxing, i can’t help but race

😮

I just cannot sleep..

This narrator sounds like he took a nice nap

Numbers stress me out

Most of the time I never make it to the counting 😆😆😆

I have bad cough at the moment, and to meditate is hard enough let alone breathe normally... This is too hard for me if I'm not healthy and well...

Counting backwards from 10,000 isn’t difficult or relaxing. It’s really stressful to tell me to do that, though, if you’re going to continue talking, especially if you tell me to randomly mess up and stop on purpose. How is that supposed to be relaxing? My mind is racing because I’m neurotic. Now I’m going to be up counting down until my alarm goes off, as it’s already almost 5:00, and it will take a bit under 3 hours to count all the way down. Thanks a lot.

10,000?

Was working well until the blaring Russell Stover commercial came on.

Your voice is way to loud. There needs to be a soft whisper calm voice. This wakes yiu up bot calms you.

You lost me at “count down from 10,000”. No way.

Omfg I'm tryna count but this guy won't shut up

Christmas Eve gang?

To be honest, this is terrible advice. Counting never helped me with racing thoughts, and making sure I was counting correctly would make me more awake at night. What works for me, when I need to calm racing thoughts at night, is to imagine a character going through the same trauma or depression that I'm currently feeling. That way, it detaches the feelings from me, as though I'm reacting to another's pain, and thus makes it less painful. Additionally, it helps in treating the source of the racing thoughts (trauma or depression or whatever else) in the gentle, logical way that you'd treat someone else's pain. If I skip this venting daydream before bed, I will often have terrible nightmares, because I went to sleep with those trauma or depression chemicals still active in my body. Once I feel like all the emotions are out and the character has either found comfort or their story reaches a point when it isn't moving for me anymore, I prefer to focus on colors in my mind, and on the sleepy feelings in my body and mind.

i was doing really well but 10,000?????

Just count sheep fr

Does anyone else feel like they can’t sleep because they picture this voice as a person in your room next to you? Ugh
