Tired and sleepy often get treated as the same thing, but the body knows the difference. Depletion is separated from the real signals of sleep: heavy eyelids, a nodding head, thoughts slipping out of reach. The practice stays quiet and unforced, letting the body keep its own clock.

Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness — a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
How Your Body Is Set Up for Sleep is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the 21-day sleep collection, narrated by Becky Lane.
