We've all heard about counting sheep and to be honest its
effectiveness varies from person to person. The reason often being is
that too much concentration and focus is put on the actual task. If
the conscious mind is too awake you may find yourself counting up to
1000 and still not feel any sleepier.
It's the subconscious part of the mind that knows how to sleep. I'm
sure you've tried, but you absolutely cannot will yourself to sleep,
it just doesn't happen that way. Fact is, sleep isn't supposed to be
forced, it's supposed to just happen naturally. If you've suffered
from insomnia for many years and relied on sleep medication to help
you sleep, you may find natural sleep difficult.
This is because, you have come to rely on sleeping pills and you are
no longer relying on your natural ability to sleep. This habit has
been ingrained into your subconscious and is in effect becoming the
way you are. However, just as we can learn to walk, ride a bike and
drive a car, you can learn how to sleep. More accurately you are
reawakening and reinforcing your own ability to sleep....
