Can’t Sleep? Try ‘Quiet Wakefulness’ Instead
I just stumbled upon this idea myself and love that it’s being validated here. ☺️
If you can’t sleep, then don’t stress about it. Just lay there and meditate. Or simply lay still and relax without trying to sleep. It’s low-stress and almost as good as actual sleep.
👉 Can’t Sleep? Try ‘Quiet Wakefulness’ Instead
Actually, with meditation it’s better in some ways such as in increase in “relaxation, an uptick in creativity, a decrease in depressive symptoms“.
The way I look at this is, if I wake up at 3:00 am, this is a great chance to mediate (laying-down style) with no time pressure at all. All sleep-stress goes away, and it feels pretty luxurious. It’s best to have some basic meditation practice down first, of course. But nothing fancy is required.
Most of the time I fall back asleep. But if not, I’m still getting meaningful rest and feelin’ good!
