- roryisok 10y agoI fall asleep by randomizing my thoughts but it only takes a couple of minutes
- billly 10y agoWhat the heck is randomizing your thoughts?
- bmay 10y agoA quick Google search led me to this: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jul/15/shuffle-thoughts-sleep-oliver-burkeman https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jul/15/shuffle...
- q-base 10y agoHmm thanks! Never heard of it before, but sounds like something I need to try.
- Artlav 10y agoIn my case it's more like put on nice music, imagine yourself into a random world and wander around.
- roryisok 10y agoSometimes I just imagine I'm slowly tuning a radio, catching snippets of conversations as a hop frequencies. Rarely a complete sentence. When you're not actively trying to imagine things your subconscious seems to take over and pretty soon after it's goodnight from me
- baby 10y agoI do the same. I've never seen anyone else talking about it. Whereas it seems like it should be a known ancient technique on how to fall asleep really fast.
- MikeTheGreat 9y agoI've never heard anyone else mention this - thanks for making me aware of it! Something that sometimes works for me is to imagine something that's emotionally flat, but complicated enough that it pushes other thoughts out and it's not boring. An example might be: I imagine myself building a model train in my backyard. I'll kind of 'drift down' to thinking about how to set up, say, the grain dispenser, then how to paint it, then how the colors work together, etc, etc. The next night it's something different.
