Questions and answers
Can affirmations help you fall asleep?
Repeating a calm, slow sentence can help quiet racing thoughts, which often keep people awake. If you regularly struggle to sleep, talk to a doctor, because ongoing insomnia deserves proper care.
Affirmations are a self-care practice, not a substitute for professional help. If you are struggling, please reach out to a doctor or a mental health professional.
