Hey hi. I learned about self-hypnosis techniques which is total relaxation of the conscious mind freeing the subconscious. Basically counting backwards laying with eyes close. It helps to tighten a muscle for a moment then release...clench an arm....then let go. Clench a leg....then Let go. Etc. then count backwards feeling yourself falling....slipping into arms of comfort. Usually I fall asleep about here... or go flat in warm bath water.
