i sleep like a baby, whenever i want to. mostly. every now and then i'm sleepless but i could lie on a rock in the desert during a snowstorm and find a way to sleep.

oh hell, what time is it?

I try to be in bed by 10pm so 5:30 doesn't come too soon.

How do you do it, though? If I ever make it to bed that early I lie there thinking about what I should be/would have been doing. I know I have to get up at 5:whatever, but it doesn't help me fall asleep any earlier. Ugh. nearly 11 again. really. Must. Go.....

My bedtime ritual is to start out reading switching to something calming, maybe some Thích Nhất Hạnh, if I think sleeping will be difficult. He is particularly good for putting the mind in the right place. It isn't easy and it takes patience. I try to empty my mind focusing on nothingness. Inhale count 1 exhale count 2, inhale count 1 exhale count 2...
