I listen to guided meditations before sleeping.
'Guidate' = gui-DA-te. 'Dormire' = dor-MI-re.
Use this for a bedtime wellness routine. It shows self-awareness and an investment in mental health, which is increasingly discussed openly in Italy. It pairs well with questions about sleep quality and stress management.
'Prima di' + infinitive means 'before doing something': prima di dormire (before sleeping), prima di mangiare (before eating), prima di uscire (before going out). This construction is very common in Italian.

Explains the practical benefit for sleep

Italian-language content preference
Mental health awareness ('salute mentale') is gradually becoming less stigmatised in Italy, though it varies significantly between north and south and between urban and rural areas. Practices like meditation, therapy, and mindfulness are becoming more accepted, particularly among younger urban Italians.
