Wake Up Rested: How Reiki Improves Sleep!

If you are someone who experiences bad sleep, I’m sure you’ll want to know how to finally wake up rested – and how Reiki improves sleep! If you’ve ever climbed into bed, completely exhausted, only to toss and turn all night – me too. Or woken up after a full eight hours but still felt tired, heavy, or drained? Yep, me again.

For many sensitive people, the culprit isn’t the mattress, the late-night scroll, or even stress from work. It’s energy.

We absorb so much throughout the day—other people’s emotions, workplace stress, family dynamics, even the subtle influences of TV or the news. If we don’t clear or protect our energy before bed, it follows us into our sleep. This is one of the first things many students notice after completing Reiki Level 1 training: they start sleeping better!

Why Reiki Students Sleep Better

During Reiki Level 1, you’ll learn how to cleanse and protect your own energy field with Reiki. This means you stop carrying around the weight of everyone else’s moods, worries, and stress. With better energetic boundaries and a clear aura before bed, your body and mind finally get the chance to rest deeply.

Students often tell me:

• “I didn’t realize how much I was carrying that wasn’t mine until I learned to clear it.”
• “For the first time in years, I’m not waking up at 3am with racing thoughts.”
• “I feel safe in my own energy—I can finally switch off.”

When your energy is lighter, your sleep becomes more peaceful. You wake up not only rested, but also clearer, calmer, and more in tune with yourself.

A Two-Day Immersion in Energy

The Reiki Level 1 course is a weekend-long immersion (Saturday and Sunday), where you step away from daily responsibilities and fully immerse yourself in the world of Reiki.

When a group of like-minded people come together, something magical happens—the energy in the room amplifies. It’s not just your energy you feel; it’s the collective expansion. Students often say they feel uplifted, inspired, and more deeply connected than ever before.

What to expect on Reiki 1 ‘Shoden’?

This course is about more than just learning a healing technique. It’s about:

• Experiencing a Reiki attunement, which opens your crown, heart, and hands to channel Reiki energy.
• Learning to give Reiki to yourself and others (fun fact: every time you give Reiki, you also receive Reiki!)
• Discovering how to set and maintain healthy energetic boundaries, so you feel safe, grounded, and clear.
• Activating your third eye and beginning to trust your intuition.
• Finding balance and harmony both within yourself and in your everyday life.

After the post-Course integration, you’ll likely wake up more rested, as Reiki helps you sleep!

My Own Experience with Sleep & Energy

Even after years as a Reiki Master, I still notice the difference when I forget to clear my energy.

Recently, I trialled a Whoop band (like an Apple watch but focused on tracking sleep and recovery). One night, after watching my fav TV show Survivor, I accidentally forgot my usual bedtime energy cleanse (too distracted with my fav player being voted out!). I ended up waking up at 4am from a very stressful dream. I found myself thinking of a friend I’d seen earlier that day and feeling annoyed.

Using the Reiki symbols

Half-asleep, I drew Reiki symbols over my crown and heart. Instantly, I felt lighter and drifted back to sleep. The next morning, in my full self-Reiki practice, I realized I’d picked up my friend’s heavy emotions. After clearing it, I felt refreshed, energized, and ready for the gym.

This is exactly why I emphasize boundaries so strongly in Reiki courses. Sleep is the first area most students see a big change, and it ripples out into every part of their lives—health, relationships, creativity, even confidence.

Protect Your Energy—Anytime, Anywhere

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I’m too sensitive, I wish I could turn it off.”
• “I don’t know how to stop picking up on other people’s stuff.”
• “I’m so drained all the time.”

Then Reiki Level 1 is for you.

You’ll learn the tools to cleanse, protect, and strengthen your energy field so you feel more empowered in daily life. If you’d like to start right away, I also have an online course called Protect Your Energy, which teaches quick and easy ways to manage your sensitivity. But for those ready for a deeper shift, Reiki Level 1 is where the true transformation begins.
