RirianProject is a blog run by an especially meticulous Romanian student bent on improving the quality of physical and psychological life. Well, CandyBuffet is a magical thinker after all and she's all for it. Check out his recent post on power-napping, "10 Benefits of Power Napping and How to Do It".
CandyBuffet has been hypnotizing herself to sleep ever since she read "The Bridge Across Forever" by Richard Bach in College. Whether or not any actual hypnosis is going on, the mantra he used in the book works pretty well for rapidly relaxing my body into sleep form. You can try it:
Lie down (or lean on something) and become still.
Take a deep breath and think: My body is relaxing.
Take another deep breath, slower and think of each body part relaxing and sinking into the surface you are lying (or leaning) on.
Take another slow, deep breath and think: My body is completely relaxed, now.
Take another breath and think: My mind is completely relaxed, now.
Take another and think: I am in a deep sleep, now.
Take another and think: I am in a deep sleep. I shall wake in (give your body a time) as refreshed as from eight hours of deep sleep.
Keep repeating this last until, well, you don't have to any more, 'cause your asleep.
Don't forget to browse around RirianProject after you've read the article. Maybe you will learn to put your exercise bike in the kitchen, where it can be some use to you while you're on the phone.
