Straight to the point..

Sleep on a rope.


It's an activity which any living creature needs, sleep.

But we make use of sleep to practice awareness.

Of course it's impossible to sleep on rope, is not common in China but there are training from gurus there, if you want to learn.

Since we can't sleep on rope, here's an alternative way I used to do it when I was a child.

Sleep on the edge of your bed.

As if you were about to fall, but you stay hold of yourself.

Hope this help, bump this topic if you find it useful.

Okay this is actually quite genius. I used to have this method where I would keep my awareness on images. The moment and image I wasn’t directly thinking about popped into my head I knew I was losing awareness and therefore it would knock me right back into alertness. This helps amazingly actually and a great technique to use when going to sleep or early mornings. This edge of the bed is definitely worth trying thanks for sharing!

Good tip although I wont be surprised at the start if my flight or fight response will be constantly on overdrive hahaa

I´ll try this tonight, but for safety reasons a few pillows are laid out first
