This whole thing about sleep is really curious, over the past year I've been through what most people would describe as a taxing time, cancer operation, follow up operation, son dying and I'm sleeping like a top. Could be exhaustion bit I don't think so.
I use a mental box - imagine a big old brass bound cabin trunk with a great big lock.
If I start thinking about something I'm not ready to deal with yet I open the lock, heave the creaking lid back and throw it the trunk, force the lid back down and lock it tight. If the thought comes back or I get another I just repeat the sequence.
Eventually the trunk fills up and my mind empties and I sleep.
Then when I'm feeling balanced I open it up and deal with what I've put in there.
Works for me anyway.

thanx will try

I really like the circle thing, just thinking about how one would go about imagining that in my mind's eye made me all sleepy.


That is the most beautiful way of winding down- it also just stuck out at me cause i have only really come across the returning others energy to them about 3 months ago. And by you mentioning it now confirmed it for me.
Thank you very much for sharing.

Prof. Akers, thats a great technique - also highlighted something for me, cause I was wondering what one does with those extra pesky thoughts that seem to not want to listen to one.
I would be worried that I wouldn't want to open the box again...hahaha! Pandora's box  
and my condolences about your son...xx

Sound sleep is essential for good health.

Drinking a glass of hot milk with a little ghee in it, just before bedtime, helps in falling asleep.
Milk contains large amounts of Tryptophan, an amino acid which induces sleep.

For some reason, cold milk does not act as effectively as warm or hot milk.
Ghee gives satiety to both, body and mind and helps to relax them.

Hello friends!
                    If you don't get sleep during night, there are many reasons,so just try counting back wards from 100 to1(2times) then see the wonderful result.
