You turn off the light, rest your head on the pillow, you're exhausted... and suddenly your brain decides to analyze every conversation from the last 10 years, remind you of an unpaid bill, and invent a catastrophic scenario for tomorrow. Sound familiar? "Monkey Mind" is the most common cause of insomnia. Bedtime meditation is not about achieving enlightenment, but about biologically switching the brain into "stand-by" mode.

What Does Meditation Do to Your Brain Before Sleep?

EEG studies show that people suffering from insomnia have increased Beta wave activity (wakefulness, analysis) at night. The goal of evening meditation is to slow down brain waves to the Alpha (relaxation) and Theta (borderline sleep and wakefulness) ranges. Additionally, these techniques lower cortisol levels, which is the main antagonist of melatonin.

You Don't Have to Meditate Alone

Leading your own meditation when you're tired is difficult. It's easy to get lost in worries. That's why in the Corty app, in the Sleep section, we've prepared professional guided audio recordings in Polish for you. You'll find guided Body Scans, visualizations (e.g., "Walk in the Forest," "Train in the Rain"), and bedtime stories for adults, which are so boring (in a positive way!) that few people make it to the end. Put on your headphones and let us lull you to sleep.
