I was on the weeding and got super tired once so I wanted to take nap. Couldn't really nap (I can't) but just relaxed body and tried to not think about anything for 20 minutes. I felt after that like after whole night good of sleep. Was very surprised that it worked.


That's a great result. Sometimes I think resting as "waiting while doing nothing" is good enough if it simply keeps one from working during the bottom of a local ultradian pattern. Coming back up out of that pattern by itself should naturally feel better.


How different is that from alpha meditation, where you free yourself from all thoughts, thereby entering a pre-sleep state of mind?
