[QUOTE="nlj, post: 648357, member: 17650"] I suffer from insomnia due to worrying. I went to a buddhist weekend for insomniacs a few years ago (no, I wouldn't have imagined such a thing existed either, until I saw it advertised in my local vegan restaurant). Anyway... apart from yoga etc there was a monk who taught us a technique that works for me: close your eyes and focus on an imaginary black spot, stare at the spot (in your mind), this causes your eyes to stop moving and the movement of our eyes is linked to our brain waves, stopping eye movement stops thoughts from whooshing around our brains and leads to sleep. This still works for me most nights - unless I'm in one of my uber-worrying phases for some reason. If it doesn't work I just give up and read. Some nights it's just a lost cause. I'm lucky I suppose in that I work in the evenings, so if I'm totally exhausted I can have a nap in the day. [/QUOTE]
