Thread: How To Fall Asleep In 10 Minutes Or Less

This seems to me like a decent self-hypnosis induction technique.

Good observation pj. I hadn't even thought of that, even though at one time I used to really be into hypnosis. It has all of the characteristics of a self hypnosis induction technique. Add a metronome or some music with a steady beat in the background to provide a rhythm to move the eyes to, and a soft voice with suggestions of becoming more and more relaxed, and going deeper and deeper, and this would probably put just about anyone under. Thanks for your comment.

This is very different than what I originally thought, but logically seems to me to be even better. It's like false REM, however overexagerated = more efficient. Do you think that your technique and mine could be the same thing, just... different?

I'll try it this way tonight.

Could be like a false REM, not sure. All I know that it has really helped me fall asleep fast for the past 3 weeks, and now is starting to produce images after about 10 minutes, when I am able to stay awake that long. So for now I am going to try to follow the images and see where they lead. Thanks for your comment.

This sounds interesting- I'll try it.

Usually I fall asleep fairly quickly, but I might be able to induce Lucidity using this...

My eyes are naturally dry- anything I can do to moisturize them? Should i do this exercise with a wet/damp cloth?
