Sleep Like a Log

Hi, I'm Clare, the voice behind all the sleepifying audios here at Sleep Like a Log. As a counsellor and hypnotherapist, I've worked with many people with anxiety caused by loss, stress, trauma and well, life! I also understand first-hand how anxiety can affect sleep. As you know, when sleep is disrupted, so MUCH MORE in our lives is affected too.
Our sleep-inducing, anxiety-reducing soothers, meditations and visualisations include: mindful breathing, body scans, progressive muscle relaxations, positive thought engagement, the Elman technique, affirmations, ASMR, nature sounds, colour therapy, thought-entanglements and many more, all designed to help in the reduction of anxiety and the induction of gorgeously deep sleep😴

We offer free episodes through Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Spotify:

Bedtime Anxiety Soother Sessions, visualisations & guided sleep meditations to relax you...
Soothing Sounds (no talking) to chill you out...
'Get Back To Sleep' episodes, in case you wake in the night...
