Simple, yet effective :D
Not thinking is a lot harder in practice than in theory. Buddhist monks spend their entire lives trying to master it. :P
Regardless, it is indeed effective.
=D
See, my problem is that i'm in a relatively noisy house. We live on an active street, and my sister works a earlier shift so she gets up really late, and is near deaf so she turns the TV on really loud. So I find it hard to fall asleep, since I have good hearing and can hear everything on the tv. Got any thing for that?
What's a good way not to think?
Meditation is the simplest way, but which method is best is another matter. I would say whatever works best for you is best, so look around the net and try out a few methods.Quote:

"Mack's SafeSound Soft Foam Earplugs are amazing. They don't block out all noise - you can still hear the alarm clock in the morning and certain small noises like the cling of a tin can hitting the desk. You can hear coughing etc. It does block out the bass from loud music, the faucet, the tapping of the key board-etc. I'm a college student and my roommate and neighbors are loud all night/morning long. I get the best sleep from these comfortable beauties. I love them! A+"
This technique doesn't work because it is impossible not to think, otherwise you are dead. Maybe you mean try to not think very hard but otherwise that doesn't work.

Oh noes, i don't quite have that expert knowledge. :(
Thats not true...I don't think all the time...you simply focus on experiencing sensory input, and thats it.Quote:

Yes, but focusing on experiencing sensory input IS thinking.Quote:

The end.
I agree, this is a very simple and effective method.
I tried it this morning when i did WBTB after 4,5 hours, but i never fell asleep again.
I laid there for about 1 hour, but usually it works :)
i agree, this does work. the way i get to clear my head is by breathing in "nothing" and exhaling all my thoughts, and all stress, etc. i am asleep shortly after that. hehe. now, to work on getting lucid...havent yet. but i will soon!! :)
For extra help, take a Valium before sleep hehe.
