Have you ever had the best intentions of getting a good night's rest so that you are fighting fit for a busy day ahead only to find that you simply can't go to sleep. All the thoughts of that exciting next day are racing through your head. You remind yourself, "No, I must go to sleep now!". You turn over and more thoughts keep racing round and round. When you finally nod off, your sleep is fitful and you reawaken several times. And the next day you feel sluggish due to lack of sleep.
Well, this post offers a cure for you. It works really well for me and I have also had positive feedback from other people who have tried it.
Lie on your back, your eyes closed. Take a few deep breaths. Now imagine a little cloud floating by. Take the first thing that comes to mind (that argument with your boss for instance) and imagine you put it on that cloud. Watch it float into the distance. Another cloud floats by and you put the next thing on that clutters your mind (maybe the task you have been putting off and should have done by now). Watch it float off. And so on until your head almost magically clears. Some items/people/situations need to be put on a few times until they finally drift off completely.
When you feel all calm and ready, get into your comfiest going-to-sleep position and enjoy a good night's rest.
I have found that if I do this one night, it usually lasts a few nights in a row, and my sleep pattern improves for quite a while.
