Thread: How To Fall Asleep In 10 Minutes Or Less

I'd be happy to try to pm you the answer just as soon as you pm me the question, although I'm not an expert. I'm learning right along with everyone else as people provide feeback. BTW, I like your avatar, but if your mind is even half as active as that avatar when you go to bed that could be the problem because to fall asleep the mind usually needs to be quiet and free of any thoughts, although even that sometimes doesn't help if a person is just not tired enough to fall asleep, which is where the eye exercises can be helpful.

No, that doesn't sound good if it is your eyes that are causing the clicking because my eyes move around very smoothly. It might be wise to discontinue that movement until you find out what is causing it.

I tried this, it didn't work.

I tried this last night doing only 10 reps for each so it doesn't tire out my eyes, and it may have helped a bit. The only problem is that though it did relax me a bit, this was after not falling asleep for an hour. I don't know about ten minutes, but it definitely calmed me slightly. I will be trying it some more though (this time not waiting an hour first), and seeing if I can increasing reps will help me get to sleep.

hmm i tried this last nite and my eyes got really tired but my body wasn't so i couldn't sleep =/
glad it works for some of u tho!

Lol i guess im lucky. i usually fall asleep within 10 minutes.

3-4 hours! I don't have 3-4 hours a night to spend tossing in bed. You're actually supposed to get up after like 15 minutes so that you don't end up getting too aggravated to sleep. http://www.sleepphones.com/hygiene

I do have some LDs though if I'm tired but barely sleeping because I'm worrying about catching a flight the next day. My significant other says that it's just because I'm having anxiety dreams.

dam i did this 10 seconds ago in front of my computer and it made me dizzy ill try this for 4 days and see if i have any luck. sounds interesting though maybe this is the gateway to falling asleep in 10 minutes! lol

I do believe it is good for your eyes (see origional post)

Is this only for sleeping, or does it also increase dream recall or LDs?

30 was quite painful. It felt like the kind of feeling when you haven't slept in forever. My eyes were stinging. If I do around 10 for each it helps though. Thanks for this!

I must give this a try I often have a lot of trouble getting to sleep especially since i'm a big fan of tea and coffee.

interesting...

I just tried this for an afternoon nap...it did get me really tired but then my phone range ($%&#!@*#) so I decided to just try again tonight, lol

My left eye clicked on the right circle too. I think it may be because I have an astigmatism which causes my eyes to be shaped more like sideways cylinders than spheres. My left eye clicks a lot though and I can push my tear duct and make a little bit of air come out sometimes. Do you have an astigmatism?

i gotta tell you iadr, that works a damn treat! i usually take ages to get to sleep and that was the fastest ive drifted off for a long time.

cheers for that!

i can enter a dream state at any time, its falling asleep that bugs me.

Thanks Immaterium,

I just noticed that this thread had started back up again after being dormant for a year.

I've been using this again lately myself, and it has really been helping me to fall asleep faster, not just once, but several times a night, because I'm always waking up after my dreams.

Unsure if it helps with having vivid dreams, but it does help me to fall asleep faster, so helps in getting more sleep, which should help in having more dreams.

And I have definitely noticed that it makes my eyes stronger, which was the reason I started doing it in the first place, to strengthen my eyes.

I think the reason it helps in falling asleep is because at the same time it helps to induce a drowsy state from the eye movements, it also helps quiet the mind, because I've noticed I never have any stray thoughts while doing the exercises.

Definitely start out slow if your eyes are stinging or clicking.

I've been doing this for a while, and have always had good eyesight, which is why I do so many reps.

People exercise their bodies all the time, but most people take their eyes for granted and never think about exercising their eyes, which is why I like these exercises.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Ya i tried it last night. It worked I think. I was already really tired so i dont know if it was the tecnique that got me to sleep or my initial exhaustion.

Ill try this with reverse blinking as well.
