I like Alan Watts for meditation.[1] I have some mala beads as he suggests, and find they help me a lot. Its easier to time sessions, just count the beads with your fingers and when you reach the end of the mala, you can stop. They also help one to breath/count without consciously focusing on breathing/counting, or even worse, getting stuck in your head trying to focus on not focusing. Regarding sleep, read something very interesting the other day about Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD).[2] Something that might help is a program called f.lux that reduces the blue light in your monitor in the evening, supposedly making it easier it to sleep. I haven't tried it yet but intend to soon. 1. http://www.mediafire.com/?u53kedhwn5w http://www.mediafire.com/?u53kedhwn5w 2. http://evincarofautumn.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-be-productive.html http://evincarofautumn.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-be-produc...
