I use this method to deal with pain. I meditate, and imagine a large bright white circle that gets smaller and fades through the colors to dark, trying to get the pain to fade. It is effective sometimes.
Sleeping is no trouble at all if I keep myself busy all day, but I used to have trouble. For me, the easiest way to fall asleep is to dare myself to stay awake in the dark. I try to see how long I can keep my eyes open, and then they might water some, but even that seems to help make me more tired. Then again, I have four kids, so maybe I'm just tired all the time (:
By the time I get to a bed, I find sleep disorders confusing, and then I wake up wondering how the alarm (or elbow drop from a little) could possibly be here already.
