(ASMR) (music) (10 hours) #516 Thanking your body - Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis (28th January 2025)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Nudand. This is Let Me Bore You to sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

And that's it. So I thought we should play a game. Should we play a game? Oh yeah, let's play a game called try and stay awake during this boring recording.

Come on, shall we? Shall we? Yeah, let's give it a go. Yeah, now all you need to do to participate in this little adventure is firstly get yourself comfortable. I'm pretty much ideally lying down on your bed and that's it and I'm gonna challenge you to stay awake.

So your aim is to try and stay awake. Now you're not allowed to do any weird things like drink lots of coffee or um I don't know what would people do to get themselves awake? I suppose Red Bull. I remember years ago when I was at university I drank a lot of Red Bull because I had an assignment to finish, an essay that had to be handed in the next day and I stayed awake all night and I ran out of Red Bull and I started drinking coffee.

Andre, I'm doing a try and stay awake session. You can keep quiet. That'd be brilliant, thanks.

Stop such a little fidget. Anyway, I was in this new house. I've moved into this place at... Can you hear him? Stupid cat.

Anyway, I had this uh yeah I moved into this new place so I didn't know where everything was and and I made a coffee and I was using sugar so I had about four coffees. The next day I realized I'd been using salt. I mean it might sound like ridiculous but it's true.

I've been putting salt into the coffee and oh I finished the essay and I handed it in on time and all this stuff but man I was not very well the next day. Staying awake all night would be easy now but back then I was pretty much a daytime you know living the daytime life unlike the vampire life that I live now. Andre, I know what he's doing.

He's attacking the vacuum cleaner. Why? I think he might need his nails cut because he seems to be scratching the carpet as he runs along. Anyway, I don't want to waste time.

I'm trying to yeah the challenge is to stay awake so I'm going to talk to you but I'm going to do different little exercises and the idea is to for you to follow me and but the idea is to try and stay awake. So the most important thing is to try and stay awake. Okay so you're not going to be not even one percent of you is going to be attempting to sleep.

So listen to this when you listen to this regardless whether you need to sleep or not regardless whether you want to sleep or not the task is to try and stay awake till the end and if you don't stay awake to the end then all I'll ask you to do is just share this recording. So if you're listening on YouTube share the YouTube video on you know Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, wherever. If you're listening on the podcast share the podcast as well please.

That's if you are unable to stay awake to the end. Now technically I could talk for the next five hours and I can do it. I know I know I can do it but five hours is a lot for me even for me.

I mean an hour is easy, two hours is a bit more but I've done it. Three hours would be a bit of a... as long as I've got something to drink you know because my voice gets dry if I talk too much about drinking. The chances are I will fall asleep myself because I did earlier when I made what is it sleep hypnosis weekly session earlier today and today is the 10th of October, Saturday 10th of October 2020.

Earlier today I made a sleep hypnosis weekly session and I fell asleep during making it and I had to edit out the snoring. Genuinely I had to edit it out. I thought about leaving it in because there are some recordings from the past where I left the snoring in but you know how professional I am and you know how you know I'm the never-ending perfectionist that I am.

Yeah right. Hello Andre. I feel him nipping at my ankles.

No I'm not going to give him any attention. I'm going to focus on you. You got all my attention.

Just you. Remember try and stay awake if you can. Try and stay awake.

So you know regardless of how heavy your eyelids get and how relaxed your body feels. Try and stay awake. Keep keep yourself awake and even those pauses like that one there.

That's when I fall asleep. I do you know sometimes when I'm making a recording and I leave a little pause and the pause goes on for maybe 20 seconds 30 seconds and the longer it goes on. The more likely is I'll drift and I just like and I sort of wake up but sometimes I'm not sure what I've said.

Generally I don't know what I've talked about. Especially when I'm counting down. I'll give you an example.

So when I count down from let's say 10 to 1 and I do it a few times I start to lose count. If I count down 20 to 1 or bar 50 to 1 I do sometimes lose track of the numbers and it's not because I can't count down from 50 to 1. I can. It's because the longer the pauses go the and also the more numbers I count down the more relaxed I feel and my mind does start to drift a bit and you know I'll be in the middle of counting and 20 I don't know is it 23?

Is it 24? Have I done 24? And 23 sleep and then there's that gap again where I'm just like oh okay um what do I do now because it's not it's not a long it's not a long enough gap for me to go to the toilet or read a book or write a poem you know but it's long enough for me to start to drift like in my mind is sort of a bit.

I don't know there's something about counting down that is almost hypnotic in itself even though you know counting down is not really a hypnotic phenomena but it doesn't matter because whatever causes a hypnotic phenomena to arise and drifting is definitely you know kind of one of those things feeling a bit maybe dissociated from your body feeling a little bit vague you know it's not really I think it's something to do when your mind slows down and you're not you're not being distracted by those thoughts we automatically feel different and I guess meditation is sort of an example of that.

I like meditation.

I've got a lot of time for it and it's been proven scientifically medically that regular meditation changes your brain organically physically changes your brain organically but then neuroscientists or whatever they're called neurologists have come to realize that actually pretty much everything we do can have an effect on our brain and our brain never stops developing it's not you know there used to be the old idea that Andre how am I supposed to do this with him in the background attacking a vacuum cleaner he winds me up so much it's okay for him when he's asleep

doesn't want me touching him doesn't want me anywhere near him he actually physically pushes me away with his hand go away but when he's awake oh it's all about him let the whole world wake up it's like one of those people that just because they get up at 6 30 in the morning they think everybody else should be awake which is why they're slamming doors and they're doing the lawn mowing at 7 in the morning thinking well everyone else should be awake I am doesn't work like that so when your brain slows down your mind

slows down it's because I don't think I'm not sure I mean you might not you might agree is our natural state is to feel relaxed you know just your natural state of course we're not always like that you know sometimes we're full of energy we're doing stuff and it's brilliant we need to be now I've got this little ferret sniffing at my feet what do you want I know what he's going to do now he's going to climb onto the chair because he wants my attention little monkey I can tell I can tell by the

look in his eyes that he's going to do something to annoy me he wants my attention before I go to pick him up he'll run away guaranteed it's so predictable don't pretend to scratch he's pretending to scratch he's just doing it because he gets to bang on the floor weird so basically our brain which is the most important part of our body it's the you know I know obviously the heart and but ultimately everything is controlled by the brain so without the brain the heart don't do nothing without the brain the liver don't do nothing

it's all the brain you know the brain is the most important part and I sometimes think that it's the part that gets the least amount of attention definitely sort of as I think about it from my own perspective that in the past I haven't given as much maybe gratitude towards my brain and that might seem like a weird thing why would you give gratitude to your brain and now someone's beeping a horn in the background it's almost as if somebody knows I'm doing this recording to you know as a challenge to try and stay awake

and they're trying to help you they're trying to help you that's not fair is it that's not fair how could that be fair no it's not fair or it just could be a lazy person who can't you know is going to pick someone up and they can't be bothered to physically open the car door and get out and walk down the driveway or down the pathway and knock on the door of the person they're picking up no no no because that's way too difficult way too hard I've got to open the door door and walk

down the path path and knock on ring the doorbell bell oh it's too complicated I'm gonna beep the horn in the old days and I can officially say the old days now that I'm old enough now that I've reached the uh Andre come on that wasn't even a real sneeze he's winding me up um in the old days I'm talking probably in the 80s okay I've no doubt it's going to be different different parts of the country different parts of the world will be different but where I used to live taxi drivers used to actually

knock on the door or ring the bell when they arrived they didn't bid their horn they didn't just sit in there I mean if anything surely taxi drivers wouldn't like they'd appreciate that tiny little bit of exercise they get every day because unless the taxi driver does goes to the gym regularly or is physically active for a hobby then the job they've got is going to make the meal eventually sitting down all day just like people's working in an office like me that's why I'm getting my bicycle but sitting down all day is a lot

like lorry drivers as well it's you need to you have to exercise and the thing is lorry drivers are so important you know they keep society running they have one of the most important jobs getting food to different parts of the world different different parts of the country and goods and everything we have is because lorry drivers transport it to where you are it's really weird I didn't realize how much in love I was with lorry drivers till that moment I love lorry drivers wow isn't that amazing anyway so there is that laziness isn't there

there you know you just lie in there and it's it can be nice to listen to someone talking and you know kind of especially someone of so many interesting things to talk about now it can be nice it can be nice to listen to someone talking I like it I listen to audiobooks not uh I mean stuff I listen to is kind of self-improvement, psychology, philosophy, any books on hypnosis that are audio but there's not many of those and yeah sort of self-improvement things like that I don't I don't listen to storybooks I like biographies

or even autobiographies you know if it's about someone that I'm interested in so that's that's nice but generally it's all for me I like to learn so Andre's snoring already he's snoring already he sneezed well pretended to sneeze it wasn't a real sneeze he pretended to but now he's snoring how can he's fallen asleep so quickly he said to me you know what daddy I said what he said I'm going to do the stay awake uh thing the challenge with with all my friends and all my fans out there and I'm going to do it

with them and and I'm gonna win now listen to him he's snoring it's like he's like I'll tell you what I think is cute about him and it's weird because it might not be weird but he's got such a high pitch voice and I don't think of him as being a baby anymore I think yeah he's a man he's basically a middle-aged man now he's oh yeah over he's five years old now so he's you know he's been he's he's yeah he's a middle-aged man he's sort of in his 40s probably 40s or 50s 40s

probably I'd say I don't know why I seem to think that he should have a deep voice and then sometimes when he kind of does go like that and I realize just well basically I feel really protective towards him I remember I realized that he is just I don't know he's still a baby but he's not a baby but I guess he's still always gonna be my little baby it's so strange I don't know I hear his like squeaky voice and it just doesn't seem to because he doesn't do it that often because normally if

you're like like that but what he does like that like really high I mean but he hasn't done it for a while but sometimes he I don't know if he was like half asleep he's sort of standing up half asleep and I go to grab him thinking he's awake and he like screams and runs away oh he's like what I'm pretty sure he could fall asleep standing up he can definitely sleep with his eyes open because I don't know why what percentage do you think you're awake now out of 10 so 10 would be like

you know completely wide awake or one would be like I can't really focus on what you asked me you know that kind of level so what where would you where would you find yourself on that slippery slope of sleepiness the slippery slope of sleepiness now that's pretty good isn't it the name of my new book the slippery slope of sleepiness I've got a friend who always used to go when you talk to him it was kind of an active listening thing which basically means they're not really listening they're just giving the sounds trying to let

you know that they are listening when in fact all you got to do is just listen it doesn't need a yeah yeah yeah doesn't need excessive nodding or knitting or knitting or nadding doesn't just like yeah I mean that's the noises that Andre makes when he's with his girlfriend and he is not actively listening to anything he's definitely actively doing something but listening is not it which I think is a bit rude I think he should listen more to his girlfriend so what what level would you be 10 to 1 10 being and one being

that's what I'm going to do I'm going to count down from 10 down to one and then you can you can see kind of what number get a feel a feel a sensation for which number you would be from 10 to 1 and and also gives you an idea what I was talking about earlier about the whole counting down thing because it's it's a weird weird uh sensation sometimes because if you just count down like 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 you know it's nothing it's just counting down but then when

you count down slower slower you're still focusing on the numbers and the counting however you're it's almost the tediousness of waiting for the next number to arrive means that your mind automatically starts to drift and when it's in that zone of driftingness you can sometimes end up finding yourself just fallen asleep and it's it's a weird one really it's strange but also fairly natural at the same time so anyway I'm going to count from 10 down to one and what you can do is you can notice which number gives you a little tingle you know

it gives you a little oh maybe I'm at that level of sleepiness maybe and that's it really and then I will continue with my super interesting chattiness so I'll start with 10.

I always find it's good to start with the first number you know if you're going to count down from 10 to 1 you can't start with a 7 or a 5. 10 does seem to be the bestest option to go with so that's what I'm that's what I'm going to start with I'm going to start with that so start with number 10 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 so where did you come on the slippery slope of sleep?

I still feel that's good slippery slope of sleepy scale was it the slippery slippery slippery scale the slippery slopey scale of sleep yeah that's quite cool hmm so yeah maybe use a 5 maybe yeah maybe use a 10 maybe use a 6 maybe you were a 9 maybe you were an 8 maybe you were a 7 maybe you were a 6 maybe you were a 5 maybe you were a 4 maybe you were a 3 maybe you were a 2 2 maybe you were a 1 perhaps the more you tried to focus on the numbers

the more tired you felt and it's kind of natural to feel sleepier more I don't know what the right word is I suppose bored because listening to this is very boring but I don't mean it to be I'm trying I'm really trying to be as as interesting as I can however for some reason it seems to come across as really slow and boring and it's nobody's fault really it's just the way that things seem to be now I remember I was at Butlins working at Butlins and I had a very late night and I woke

up and had to attend a lecture on I think it was like health and safety something that didn't really require me to stay awake you know something unimportant and I tried everything except matchsticks to keep my eyelids open I really really tried everything and I kept nodding off because it felt as though it was out of my control almost as if my mind was telling me you are going to fall asleep so you might as well just accept it and allow the process to happen naturally just accept it's going to happen and you can just

enjoy letting go and having the best sleep oh just the idea of being able to relax so deeply and allow your eyelids to just enjoy being closed without any interruptions and just enjoying the freedom that your mind has as your mind wanders and drifts now and as that process was happening for me I did fall asleep and it felt really nice I remember another time I was a security guard and I'd finished my day shift and my boss supervisor asked me to stay on for another 12 hours during the night because they were short staffed

and I said I'm tired I've been up since six o'clock maybe earlier in the morning I've just done a 12 hour shift and now you want me to do another 12 hour shift it's 24 hours he said yeah I know I can count I said no what I mean it's 24 hours sleeping not without sleeping and you could add another two hours onto that so it's pretty it's you know he said 26 hours yeah I know I can't count he said well I said I don't know if I'll be able to stay awake he said

it doesn't matter won't be anyone around so I did it for him as a favor so I went there and I sat down in the this little office bit it's nothing for me to do it's very easy just had a book I was on my own and I remember sitting there telling myself I've I have to stay awake I have to stay awake but the more I said I have to stay awake the tired I became my eyes really really became so heavy and my body was so relaxed and it was one of those moments

where I didn't even know that I'd fallen asleep didn't even register that I was fast asleep because that's what was needed and I tried to fight it I really really tried because I knew that I was on camera and I thought maybe I'll stop filming myself no I was on camera security guards being filmed to make sure that I was awake then I was asleep fast asleep and it felt so nice to just give in even though I didn't know I'd given in I could feel and enjoy being asleep you know on a I guess

an unconscious level I was enjoying the process of having my eyes closed and just feeling so very relaxed and peaceful so very relaxed and peaceful you know the other night even I'd made some recordings early hours in the morning I was so tired I just wanted to go to bed it was about three thirty four o'clock in the morning just really wanted to go to bed but I also wanted to upload these recordings and edit them and make sure they were all shared and you know to the different places I needed to go so that

people could listen to them and during the upload process sometimes it can take a minute or two and I close my eyes and I could feel the relief when I close my eyes and I could feel feel my mind just drifting and then I kind of become awake again and and I'd do another bit of work and I'd do another bit every time I closed my eyes I'd start to drift even quicker and even deeper ah felt so good felt so free free to let go to really really enjoy the sensation of complete comfort complete

I notice that now just sitting here you know I'm trying to stay awake so I can make this recording but I have my eyes closed and my body's very relaxed my mind is extremely calm there's very little going on inside me really and I know that if I was lying down I'd automatically drift to sleep automatically let go of everything and in some ways I feel like this moment you know when you feel completely and totally calm and relaxed both in your body and in your mind and when you're listening you can really hear that

sense of sleepiness just soaking into your ears and spreading and being shared around your body and your mind not just feeling more relaxed but also there's a sense of safety that comes with feeling just relaxed and comfortable so relaxed and comfortable so loose not needing anything not wanting so relaxed and peaceful and we can count down from 10 and see what level you're on now 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
