Thread: Issues with HI

Oh, and another thing.... If I feel an ich, should I scratch it? or should I jsut try to ignore it?

I think this is very much a subjective thing: Its a basic question of:

a) How easy you can ignore it

versus

b) How easy you can get back to the state where you were if you do scratch it.


Personally, I scratch, most of the time. Unless the itch is really light. I find it very hard to ignore things like itches, being too warm, being too cold. My attention keeps being drawn back to them, and the last thing I want as my attention on my body.

Additionally, I am someone who gets to sleep easily, so I find it very easy to get into a restful state where my mind can wander. Moving slightly to scratch an itch has very little effect on that. In less then a minute I'd be back to where i was (for instance seeing hypnagogia again, or feeling numb again, etc).

If however you find that moving even slightly completely ruins it for you, and you need to spend half an hour to get back to where you were, it might be easier to ignore the itch. It all just depends on you. Experiment with it a bit, and find the balance, would be my overall suggestion.

Hope that helps,
