Hi Brian & others
I just discovered this Forum, and I'm fascinated about this thread.
I have another sleep-reducing technique, which I tried last night, and it worked.
It's from the imagestream-egroup, I'll post it as the next post.
last night I did it before going to sleep for 15 min at until 4 AM, then slept, and set my alarm clock to 10 AM, but woke up at 8.45 AM ! , so I slept only 4 3/4 hours, although normally I need 6-8 hours.
I did it once 2 days ago, but at that time, it didn't help, although I was in a deeper state while meditating then last night.
One question for Brian and anyone else, who does this theta or delta meditation :
How do you know if you are in theta / delta. How is it like, do you sleep, or do you have some sort of awareness of you ?
Are you sitting or lying ?
