I've spend many nights mediating about 5 or 6 hours and then finally dropping off to sleep about 2 hours before I have to get up to go to work. Wasn't much fun at all. It wasn't caused by an over active mind because my mind is calm, but I would just get so relaxed from meditating that I just wasn't tired enough to fall asleep. That's what I like about this technique. Doing the eye exercises tires my mind enough that it enables me to fall asleep. In addition it relaxes my body, as it seems to be similar to concentrating on my third eye when I do the exercises, especially if I make it through the first round and do start doing them again with my eyes close.

great! thanks for answering!



though, why were you doing eye exercises to begin with? is it legit exercise for the eyes? I get paranoid with anything dealing with the eyes, so I have avoided the reverse blinking technique. my eyes have never been in the best shape - my vision is horrible - and once in a blue moon my eyes dart from side to side very rapidly involuntarily!!
