Thread: Eyes

Well, if you are trying to get into sleep paralysis, or SP as most people who reply to this are going to call it, you will want to be lying down, not sitting. Also, you are going to want your eyes closed. The whole idea is to trick your body into thinking that you are asleep, while your mind stays awake. Unless you fall asleep with your eyes open, you are going to need to have them closed. Don't try and shut them tightly though. Just closed and relaxed like you are going to sleep.

The idea is to fall asleep, but hold onto your awareness as you do it. Lie down someplace comfortable enough to fall asleep. Close your eyes like you normally would. It is a tricky thing to let yourself slip into sleep, but catch yourself before you completely lose consciousness or get swept up in a dream.
