My technique of falling asleep

Hi there. I am new at redit. Come across this community and decide to share my technique of falling to sleep. Maybe it can help someone. I am practicing it for couple years now and it works for me. So here it is

  1. i am closing my eyes. All exercises I am doing without opening eyelids

  2. look up with eyeballs, then down

  3. to the left and to the right ( I feel tense in the eyes when doing it and sort of sparks when doing from left to right)

  4. and finally focus virtually I.e. looking at the end of nose (without opening eyelids thinking about nothing, concentrating only on a fly trying to see something there)

Repeat this cycle 3-4 times and then after last look at nose relax eyes and see a black surface looks like space with a small dots and try to "fly" like a space sheep deeper and deeper to explore myself but I don't see anything apart black surface and dots. The next thing I know, I'm waking up.

I have no idea why it works for me but I am practicing it often when struggling to fall asleep. And don't watch shorts on a phone.
