Sleep experiment part 2

Since abandoning my experiment to eliminate my sleep debt, I have ‘binged’ significantly on staying up way too late. My sleep debt is high and I can definitely see its impact on my day-to-day performance. I decided to research more effective ways to fall asleep in order to counteract my inability to fall asleep when I have no sleep debt. Of the methods that I have found, two have proved useful. Method one is to count backwards from 100 to 0. While I don’t find that I necessarily fall asleep doing this, it does calm the mind. The other is to imagine that your body is turning to stone starting with your toes and moving upwards. It is claimed that most people don’t get past their arms and I will attest to that. It works well. I will reinitiate the process of eliminating my sleep debt and will see if this technique counteracts my previous sleep challenges at ‘zero sleep debt’.
