Thread: what frame of mind are you in when you go to sleep

am i right in saying that the more attached to/aware of our body, the longer it takes us to get to sleep.
and that jumping between thoughts would make us more aware of our body as between thoughts we may think of our body
where as, staying on one particular thought, ( eg, like our desired lucid dream) distracts from the body, thus helping us seperate from it?

I think you're right that thinking of your body makes you not feel very compfortable, mayve you should try to find a good sleeping pose and just start thinkin about anything that comes to your mind, prefering something positive. additionally it sometimes helps me to sleep with very silent music, so you really just hera it in the background

Silent Image Streaming (google image streaming and do it silently)... this will knock you out quickly when it is time to start your sleep cycle.

the image streaming sound sinteresting,

but somthing i described above
it happened to me again last night, as usualy i bring my thoughts away from my body, i deeply submerge myself in a particular thought, im veryu deep in this thought and suddenly i snap out of it, i get a rush of nerves all up my body, as if its being kicked back to life.

iv had a full sleep paralysis before and it feels similar to the body snaping out of sleep paralysis, there is a ruch of tingly nerves all up my body, almost like an adrenaline rush and my heart starts beating very fast.

is this me starting to go into a sleep paralysis and my mind suddenly rejecting it. it happens every night.
how can i maintain this sleep paralysis, i deeply submerge my thoughts into 1 particular thing, but i suddenly snap out of it, how can i stay submerged in this 1 thought.

thanks for all the feedbakc chaps
