I found an interesting article on how you can solve sleeping disorder problem by natural cures for insomnia - Introducing: The “Skill of Falling Asleep”.

In researching cures for insomnia, I found that people that meditate, are very creative, or are athletic, have an easier time going to sleep naturally. By studying what happens around the moment we fade off… I’ve found that it’s very similar to a meditative, creative state.

When you actually fall asleep, it can be identified by some thought that just goes on out into the abstract, and you don’t realize you’re having it, and you follow it into sleep. I was able to prove this (at least somewhat) by studying brainwave activity during hypnosis.

What you’re effectively doing when you exercise the skill of falling asleep is choosing to alter the chemicals in your brain - as opposed to choosing to go to sleep. Remember how I said “Sleep is not a choice”? It’s not - but you CAN choose to alter your brain activity in a way that causes your brain to go to sleep.

So here’s something you might try tonight as one of your Cures For Insomnia - if you know how, meditate for about 5 minutes - and then follow it by telling your subconscious to think of a something.

That sounds funny to most people, but it’s actually very serious. Your subconscious is simply the part of your active brain that’s just under the surface of what you can consciously detect - so it’s constantly helping you think of things. You know how thoughts seem to come out of thin air sometimes? That’s just because you can’t see where they’re coming from.

So tell your subconscious to think of a something, and then leave it be.

You can try it right now. If you mention something you want to picture in your mind, and then just sit there (without trying to picture anything), your subconscious will bring up something. Ask it directly. It helps to give it a name.

Just say anything you think it would find interesting to picture. It can’t be something you really care about, because you’ll associate it with other things in your life and that’s NOT being creative.

It’s funny, but your subconscious behaves similarly to a child. Sometimes it’ll be lazy and take a while, and other times it’ll get excited about something and give you all kinds of ideas.

What you’re going to do, is say something… it can really be anything… and then let you subconscious have it. As in, you don’t do anything - except say something and see what happens.

It’s very important that you don’t interfere - don’t make a single correction, don’t think about what’s going on, just watch. That might sound a little strange, so let me explain.

There are two parts of your brain. One is the editor, it’s the part of you that wants to correct things and moderate things. The other is the creator, and it’s only job is to create, and it’s constantly being attacked and controlled by the editor.

What’s happening is that your subconscious will do something with what you give it. It’ll start seeing whatever it was you said in some way - in a scene, a picture of it, or whatever happens without you taking part in what’s going on.

The skill of falling asleep is a visual activity in which you see things without any kind of editing - the split instant you see something, that’s what it is and you don’t change it in any way, you just look at it, as from a distance. It’s an activity you have to do without trying to do it - you’ve just got to let it come, which, when you do it right, is very easy to do - it’s actually the very definition of easy (except for the fact that you’re in an addictive habit of messing with it!)

You know when you’re *trying* because of indicators - like repetition of any visual or getting stuck. It can be hard to start because, well, you don’t usually do this on a conscious level.

If you are doing it right, you’ll end up being very meditative and creative - and then about 30 minutes later you’ll go “CRAP” and remember what you’re supposed to be doing. It’s because whatever your subconscious does is not likely to grab your attention for very long, and you’re not very good at being interested in this. When your brain gets bored, it’ll move on.

And if your subconscious brings up something relevant to your life, it’s very easy to end up thinking about something else for a long time - because memory works by association.
