Meditation won’t replace sleep as much as it will help you get a better night’s sleep. Rest is important for everybody and those who practise meditation and mindfulness benefit the most from this.
Mindfulness has been proven to increase relaxation before going to sleep also. This is achieved by slowing our minds and heart rates, choosing to put an end to our thoughts about our days, and allowing our bodies to replenish and rejuvenate for the upcoming day.
