Sleep Meditation: Learn While You Snooze
Your iPod can be used for far more than just rocking out to the latest playlist. Sleep meditation audio MP3 programs can actually teach you to better manage stress, learn new behaviors, and improve your life in a number of ways including:
- Losing weight
- Breaking bad habits
- Increasing self-esteem
- Building confidence
- Overcoming anxiety
- Learning to have more patience
Studies have proven that our brains are far more receptive to new thoughts and suggestions when we are sleeping. This is primarily due to the fact that our waking hours are typically spent in chaotic, mutli-tasking environments. We talk on the cell phone while we’re driving. We cook dinner while we’re watching t.v. We listen to a lecture in school while we’re thinking about a date we have later that night.
When we’re awake, it can be difficult to effectively focus with everything else that’s going on.
But not when we’re asleep. When we sleep, our conscious mind isn’t dealing with ringing telephones, distracting noises, or the day to day thoughts that race through our mind when we’re awake.
When we sleep, our conscious mind is at rest. This leaves our subconscious mind open and receptive to incoming audio stimulation.
There have been many studies around the effectiveness of sleep meditation and sleep learning. One such study involved a Canadian newspaper reporter who was provided an audio Spanish language sleep learning program. She had previously had minimal exposure to the Spanish language. She had never particiapted in a Spanish language class or program.
There were seven lessons in the program. In the course of seven days, this reporter played each lesson over and over for six hours each night while she slept.
On the eighth day, the reporter was placed in a room with a Spanish language expert. In the course of their meeting, the reporter was able to identify many of the objects in the room. In Spanish!
In addition, the reporter was able to converse in Spanish. Haltingly, but certainly understandably. She was even able to comprehend portions of Spanish language newspapers and magazines.
The professinal linguists who were conducting the study evaluated her Spanish language skills and determined that, in the seven days of sleep learning, the reporter had absorbed the equivalent of six months of language training for a normal adult.
Continued experimentation is also proving that wide awake learning can be effectively supplemented by sleep learning. This has been demonstrated in multiple academic studies where students supplemented their day to day classes with associated sleep learning programs. Their progress far exceeded the students relying solely on the day to day classroom training.
Psychologists are also using sleep meditation and sleep learning to teach their patients to unlearn bad behavior ranging from self-control issues to overeating. Even parents are effectively using sleep learning to teach children to control behaviors such as bed-wetting, thumb sucking, and nail biting.
Sleep meditation and sleep learning programs are effective at improving our life. They can improve our mood and outlook, reduce stress, cure bad habits, and teach us new behaviors and skills.
Take advantage of those hours when you sleep. Plug in your iPod and learn while you snooze.

Fascinating article! I have heard that repeating positive affirmations as you drift off to sleep can have a wonderful impact on your life as your mind will repeat these while you sleep allowing them to sink deep into your subconscious. Love the idea of listening to audio as a sleep meditation…will have to try that out. Thanks! :0)
