Comment on Rumor: Manually trying to make your eyes do rem might help you fall asleep?
Sal@mander.xyz 2 years agoI also tried and noticed no effect, but at the moment I am falling asleep fine so there is not much room for improvement.
In the past I have gone through some sleepless weeks due to anxiety-induced insomnia. I tested lots of different techniques during that time and the only one that I think had some effect was doing cardio that was intense enough to leave me physically exhausted. Eventually the sources of anxiety dissipated and I could sleep well again.

What works ish for me semi consistently that isn't drugs when having severe trouble, sitting in front of a personal heater til I overheat and that makes it easy for me to fall asleep, but it only works in the winter and i have to be naked so sweat evaporates.

Interesting. Wouldn't it be possible to achieve a similar effect with a hot shower? I think that I might be too uncomfortable to sleep if I sweat.

Hot showers haven't ever worked for me. But I have slept in bathtubs filled with hot water.
