Haha I'd like to tell you how awesome this is but I have yet to make it to the end. I don't even know how far into the video I have made it because every time I pass out into a deep sleep.

Hi Kathleen, A much needed laugh...thank you! Well, that means that it very much works for you. Happy to hear that. For more Yoga Nidra, you can also check out the one I have on my youtube channel: Birgitte Kristen Yoga and Meditation. Warmest, B

I've made it to the end finally and it is lovely and is helping me sleep. My 8 yr old also has a hard time turning off at night and she has been using this to calm down too. I'll check out your channel. Thanks for this.

Perfect lullaby

Thank you again Birgitte for your peaceful voice, guiding us perfectly into a what I like to call a 'lullaby state' between sleep and relaxation. Namaste and hope you are staying well.

Hi Samantha, Thank you for your kind feedback. Yes, I am well.....these are different times right. Important to stay balanced. And, I hope you are staying well and healthy. Namaste, B

This was great for my insomnia

Jeanne M. - -

Right up until you woke me at the end! :)

Birgitte K. - -

Hi Jeanne, Thank you for this feedback. I am currently making another Yoga Nidra for sleep for Insight Timer, a free app. And, I will not wake you up at the end......... (I have a few guided meditations on that app that are quiet at the end, but not specifically for sleep, but could work), Namaste, Birgitte

Perfect
