Rules for Inducing Sleep by Breath and Eye Movements
This excerpt from The Outlook advises a calm practice to induce sleep using abdominal breathing synchronized with opening and closing the eyes. Begin with gentle breaths, gradually lift the hands with the abdomen, then open the eyes at inhale and let them close at exhale. Repeat ten breaths, alternate sets focusing on eye movement, and ease into automaticity as sleep approaches. Nervous individuals may struggle at first but should maintain rhythm for a natural transition to sleep.
