Used to be similar for me. Until I discovered deep meditation (http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Meditation-Pathway-Personal-Freedom/dp/097646554X http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Meditation-Pathway-Personal-Freed...). Summarized: Repeat a chant, such as 'I am' (or any phrase of your choosing) for about 5 minutes, focusing on what the chant-phrase sounds like in your mind. With the phrase 'I am', you would try to feel the sounds 'A-Y-A-M' being pronounced in your mind, without ever vocalizing it. Gets me napping within 5 minutes, wake up charged up for a massively productive session. I hope you'll give it a try sometime.
