Insomnia is a terrible affliction, but on the up side, there’s only three sleeps ‘til Christmas.
I think I have come up with a way to induce sleep in 5 minutes or less but I wonder if it only works for me?
Would anyone be willing to try this strange thing I have come up with?? It works for me every time and I have no idea why (any sleep or brain experts out there, please weigh in)!!. Please let me know if this works for you. Here’s what I do…
(1) get really comfy and make sure hands are covered and warm (important step)! Take as much time and as many adjustments as you need.
(2) close your eyes
(3) breathe in through your nose, and on the inhale , look upwards towards the top of your head (behind closed lids) as far back as you possibly can
(4) as you exhale through your nose, bring your eyes to the LEFT side ( look left, behind closed lids) , hold them there a second, and then relax them down to neutral
(5) repeat steps (3 ) and (4) - slowly inhaling — eyes up, and exhaling — eyes left and then neutral.
Before I do this 10 times I am asleep!!! 😴
Did I discover some ancient sleep secret or am I just boring myself to sleep?
Also ... try this, think of a word eg- Table. Start with the first letter and think of as many things that you can that start with T. Also visualise that thing. Tortoise, tambourine, tomato etc. When you've exhausted that list, move on to the next letter. I only ever get to the second letter of the word and I'm asleep.
AND if you have postural or mobility issues... maybe an electric adjustable bed frame and appropriate mattress is the key.
