I run a HEPA air cleaner in the room. The sound of the air moving is calming. The clean air makes breathing easier. I also practice micro meditative breathing keeping it simple slow nasal inhalation followed by slower mouth exhalation. I will do it for a few minutes. Sometimes when my mind keeps running with what to do or an idea pops into my head, I will write it down to get the idea out of my head.
Love the feeling of a good night’s sleep. Retirement helps. Going to bed at a regular time, feeling at peace with life, not having to wake up to an alarm that shocks you awake for work purposes - all pluses for better sleep.
Well I have found a lady who has cracked it but will only reveal her secrets if you hand over almost $500 for her "Sleep Success" course So I wrote her an email complaining I couldn't afford it and she actually wrote back saying if I answered 3 questions about this book by Eckhard Tolle something about peacefulness that her "team" may award me a scholarship with the course for free So I got on to AI Chat GPT and asked it for the answers and I've sent them off to her so it must be based on his teachings but if I do manage to get it for free I will pass it on to you and maybe you can extract the wisdom from it and then pass that on to all yor followers for free too
Ear plugs , silky pillow case , Tibetan meditation music and letting go as best I can of angst from the day , often harder done than said but being aware that it is going on in your head is the starting point to successfully inviting it to move on
All the lights I use in my bedroom at night are red or covered with red tissue paper. I pull a knit cap over my head and eyes as a sleep mask. I've worn socks to bed all my life, so cold feet will not keep me awake. I wear a sleep tracker watch to bed. I have a note by my bed to say aloud in bed: "I fall asleep quickly and easily, sleep deeply, and wake easily." Sometimes I even remember to say it!
Can you please reveal the name of your lotion as I have heard that Castor Oil ( hexane free ) has good sleep inducing effect when rubbed on soles of feet before bed then cover with socks
Thank you for all the tips you’re giving. The one trick I use is to concentrate in my breathing since what keeps me up at night is mind wondering around.
It takes practice since sometimes I found my self doing both things at the same time 🙄.
I am to disabled to work for paid employment and I was forced to retire on my sixtieth birthday and I am writing books now so I still wake up at my normal time because I think the best when I first Wake up and it takes me twice as long to do anything in my disabled condition so I extend my day to the most possible hours, because my books are for humankind’s benefit and wellbeing! The truth about life that I have learned from my true life experiences and being made fully spiritually alive on January 10/2006, able to discern all things, which is close to overwhelming, since the beginning of creation by my first vision in February of 3006, which was so realistic I felt present in the past when Satan deceived Eve into eating the food from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil so she and Adam would die from their angel-like beings with equal power and might as Satan to how humankind is to this day under Satan’s control!
I have never had to think about sleep since I was 16 years old and I learned that my sleep cycle is only 22 minutes long, so I get a full nights sleep in 4 hours and I have had significant neurogenesis of my half damaged brain, which convinces me that I get enough sleep nightly
I also know that if I lay in bed for longer than eight hours my lower back is painful so I can understand why so many people suffer from lower back pain trying to sleep for eight hours a night. Sleep is the most confused part of life. I’m astounded that I only felt tired in my life on April 7/2016, because I changed how I thought going to sleep o April 6/2016. I will feel tired if I don’t get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. I was up the normal number of times to use the toilet and I woke up to the alarm feeling tired for the first time waking up in my life and I went back to sleep for the first time waking up in my life. I woke up one hour later starting to answer the question in the most vivid realistic dream of my life and the first dream since the bleeds in my brain in December 2002, which damaged my pituitary gland that control the pineal gland that produces melatonin to make us feel tired, so that is how powerful how we think is! I thought this way the next two nights and I woke up feeling tired the next two mornings. I then stopped thinking that I would feel tired and I have not felt tired waking up ever since!

I love the idea of writing down your thoughts to get them out of the way for sleep!

One day... :)

Very interesting! I would just try these sleep "hacks" first :)
Tolle is worth actually reading to get information, not just pulling out question answers;)
Top sleep 😴 hack is making and keeping my nightly appointment with my pillow 🤓
Yes this one is very important!
Terrific post, Dr. Jake!
Thank you!!
I very really get sleepy. I have to make myself go to bed at 11:30 am to 12. But I am trying to get eight hours rest.

Oooh I like that phrasing!

Love these!
That’s very interesting. Whats the purpose for the red?
Just bought a sleep mask. I rub lotion on my feet as one of my sleep rituals.
Can you please reveal the name of your lotion as I have heard that Castor Oil ( hexane free ) has good sleep inducing effect when rubbed on soles of feet before bed then cover with socks
Any good cream I can find, mainly because I have dry itchy feet. It helps soothe the itch so it doesn’t keep me awake.

Great trick!
The Church of Lethargy encourages its congregation to skip services and sleep in on Sunday (and every other day):

Without my pituitary gland functioning now I feel lethargic regardless of how much I sleep or don’t sleep!

Our thoughts are powerful!
