I find that trying to sleep keeps me awake. I just imagine random stuff until I realise I'm waking up in the morning. I just try to forget I'm in my bed and that usually does the trick! |

I went to bed at the usual time I tend to go to at night, and proceeded to TRY and go to sleep. What I went through was possibly the most effort I put in to try and go to sleep ha ha. Here's the thing that really held me back: I wasn't particularly trying to WILD, but every single time I saw signs of me falling asleep, like HH and loss of consciousness, I would kind of get excited and wake myself back up. I did have my intent on DEILDing when I had the chance, though. I wouldn't really open my eyes or anything, as I tried to ignore the fact that I was still awake and go back to sleep, but to no avail. |

Who can really stop me but myself?
You're only as good as the limits you set upon yourself.

This is what's happened to me all my life, minus the trying to dream part. Always takes me 2 to 3 hours to go to sleep and it's nearly impossible for me to really maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Consider yourself lucky if this isn't a common occurrence. ;( |

One thing I do to fall asleep on the rare night I cannot sleep - I think of depressing things. |

Really? How does that work for you? I don't mean how well, but by what mechanism? |

I guess feeling sad wears me out. I do not do that all the time. I do not think of real world scenarios though, it is stuff I make up. Sometimes it is based on my real-world past. Like thinking of why people come and go. Or I fabricate stories in my mind about the scenario. It is really weird. OR, I will think of one of my old dreams that were sad and re-write the dream in my head to where the story is longer... |

Various herbal remedies, and supplements, may be very helpful in falling asleep. I have had much succes with the following: |

So ... is this the real universe, or is it just a preliminary study?
