Several months ago I started doing this thing to help me fall asleep where I count to 500 in my head, knowing that if I get to 500 I have to get up and do 'something else' (like some work I have to do [might be best to be specific in your head what it is you must do]). If you toss and turn and readjust yourself, you have to start the count back to 0. You need to be fully in position and ready to go to sleep. (e.g. no major arm re-adjustments once you start counting). When I get to around 250 I can feel my body settling down into sleep, almost like I notified my brain that I am ready. Then I get to like 350 and think "there's no way I'm going to be asleep by 500". But, I have honestly only ever gotten to 500 a single time (when I was trying to force a procrastination nap in the middle of the day). (I do pretty much go to bed only when I feel tired and have never had that much trouble sleeping, so I don't know that this is actually helpful. I have been told by one other person it did not work for them but I feel like they didnt commit to the premise completely). I find it to be a fun and useful bedtime activity. Also, you don't have to count slow. Part of the fun is that I count as fast as I can in my head, trying to see if I can get to 500. Internet2 fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Jan 7, 2021 |
