Set your alarm (and a backup if it helps), put everything you need by the door, then play this with the lights off. It takes two or three minutes and can loop for as long as you need.

01An early start tomorrow, and everything is ready. Bag packed, clothes set out.
02The alarm is set and checked. Once is enough.
03Waking up is the alarm’s job tonight. Mine is to rest.
04Even a shorter night can carry me through one early morning. I’ve done it before.
05The hours left don’t need counting.
06Slowly, my body softens, from my feet all the way to my face.
07Each breath out takes some of today’s tension with it.
08Tomorrow is simpler because I prepared tonight. Nothing more is needed now.
09The first nice part of tomorrow might be a coffee on the way.
10All set. I drift off, trusting the morning to wake me.

Why it’s written this way
The night before an early start, the fear of oversleeping often keeps people awake, which is the opposite of what they need. This loop deals with the fear head-on by handing the job of waking up to the alarm. Once you believe the alarm will do its job, your mind can stop guarding the clock.
The early notes confirm that everything is ready, so there’s nothing left to check. The fourth note takes the pressure off a short night: one early morning on less sleep is something you’ve managed before. The counting note names a habit that keeps many people awake, working out how many hours are left.
Then the loop moves to the body, relaxing from feet to face, and slows the breath. The note about the first nice part of tomorrow gives your mind something pleasant to look toward instead of worrying about the alarm. It ends with trust: the morning will come and wake you, so you can let go now.
