A peaceful bedtime counting activity to help you drift off...
Counting stars is like counting sheep, but more magical! It gives your busy mind something simple and peaceful to focus on, which helps you relax and fall asleep. The slow, rhythmic counting combined with the gentle clicking creates a calming pattern that signals to your brain: "It is time to rest." Use this activity in bed when you are ready to sleep!
This works best when you are already tucked in bed, lights dimmed, ready to sleep. Let the counting lull you to rest.
Take your time with each star. Breathe slowly. The goal is not to finish - it is to relax while counting.
If you start feeling drowsy, put your device away immediately and close your eyes. That is the perfect time to drift off!
If you finish counting and are still awake, reset and count again. The repetition is soothing and sleep-inducing!
