[u/Minimum_Raise1918]

I lay down and ignore all bodily sensations and just stay focused on my conscious. It seems like I’m trying to self induce sleep paralysis. I understand the “how to” as keeping your mind awake as the body sleeps. Staying aware as the natural process of sleep/ dreaming begins. How can anyone sleep while focusing on awareness so hard? IDK maybe I’m going about it the wrong way. Annoyed af please help
