Yes there's value in just lying there with your eyes shut and one of the books I read supported that. Throw in some meditation if you're into that too.
The common refrain is to avoid it because you'll associate the bed as a place of not-sleeping, but that ship has sailed for most of us anyway. The same book said "rituals" (such as getting up and reading a book instead) can be harmful as the habits become normalised and become just one more required step to sleep, instead of an occasional help.
- bilekas 7y ago> Yes there's value in just lying there with your eyes shut I never read the book you mentioned, but I do this almost every morning, as a way of mental preparation for such a simple thing as getting up. It sounds so stupid saying it out loud but I completely live this.
- hnick 7y agoI think the book was The Sleep Book: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00LT8ODM8/ref=pe_1007802_166382322_TEM1DP https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00LT8ODM8/ref=pe_1007802_16638... Reviews are mixed, it's written in a worksheet format to help you get a grip on your thoughts and habits to change or accept them as necessary. Didn't help me a lot but it helped a lot of others.
