Patience.

The goal you are shooting for is no more difficult than simply falling asleep, or rather, you wish to hold up at the point right before actually falling asleep.

I can't imagine that you would lay there for 8 or 9 hours completely wide awake and alert.

It is more likely that you will fall asleep and miss the trance state altogether.

So try laying down, while holding a hammer upright... you don't have to hold it up in the air, but just balance the handle upward. If you drift off asleep, then the hammer will drop over and it will likely stir you enough so that you will notice that you are on the edge of sleep. If a hammer is too heavy or awkward, then just go to a lumber supply store and have a piece of wood custom cut to your specifications.
