Posted by sleeping well on February 23, 2007 at 09:32:36:My falling asleep technique, which works every time, is to read a non-fiction article on some topic I am somewhat, but not passionately, interested in. I use the New York Review of Books for this purpose. Lots of interesting articles, but also enough boring ones to put me to sleep. One issue keeps me falling asleep for a month or more. I do have to go to bed 1/2 -1 hour early to get my 8 hrs of sleep in, because I sometimes underestimate the potential boringness of an article and end up glued to the pages by mistake. Fiction does not usually work for me, although Henry James will sometimes do the trick.
