RE: How To Fall Asleep Naturally, Like an Animal

in #writing6 years ago

hmmm, I definitely am having sleeping problems so I'm going to try your method tonight. I will point out that when I concentrate on the spot between my eyes I experience some discomfort in that spot and have to squint. I'm not sure what causes it but I'll try to get past it.

Sort:  

Sometimes I find my eyes trying to look at that spot, and that probably means they are not relaxing yet. Supposedly our eyes tilt upward slightly while we sleep, and the slight upward tilt feels surprisingly relaxing when done deliberately. The relaxation of each muscle is often enough to put me to sleep before I can get that far along anyway. May your dreams be pleasant!

hmmm. Im going to try and pay attention to what's happening while I try this. Hopefully it will get better as I practice

It does take a little practice getting used to the feeling of complete relaxation, it feels like a familiar glow from each muscle, a sleepy sort of glow.
