Does it take you a while to fall asleep at night? Do
you find your mind dwelling on various thoughts
before you’re able to finally drift off and relax
into sleep? Do you find that you just aren’t sleepy
enough when it’s time for bed?
Realize that if it takes you 15 minutes on average
to fall asleep each night, that’s more than 91
hours per year that you’re wasting. This is the
equivalent of spending more than two 40-hour
workweeks just lying in bed waiting to fall asleep.
And if you have insomniac tendencies and take
more than an hour to fall asleep each night,
you’re spending more than nine 40-hour weeks
on that pointless activity — every year. That’s a
tremendous amount of wasted time.
If you’d like to change this situation, keep
reading. I’ll explain the details and share a
process for training your brain to fall asleep
almost instantly when you’re ready to go to bed.
Drop Caffeine (at Least Initially)
First, if you drink coffee, tea (including green tea
and white tea), yerba mate, cola, or any
caffeinated beverages on a semi-regular basis,
this method won’t work very well at all, so I
strongly recommend that you get off all caffeine
for at least 2 weeks before you attempt to make
improvements in this area. Read How to Give Up
Coffee if you need help with that. I also advise
that you drop chocolate during this time as well,
including cocoa and cacao, since those contain
stimulants too.
Even a small cup of coffee in the morning can
disrupt your ability to fall asleep quickly at night.
You may also sleep less restfully, and you’ll be
prone to awaken more often throughout the
night. Consequently, you may wake up tired and
need extra sleep.
Simply eliminating all caffeine from your diet can
improve your sleep habits tremendously. So if
you haven’t already done that, please do that first
before you attempt the training method I explain
later in this article.
If you really love your caffeine though, the good
news is that it’s okay to add it back once you’ve
gone through this adaptation training. It will still
disrupt your sleep a bit, but once you’ve
mastered the habit of being able to fall asleep in
30 seconds or less, then most likely you’ll still be
able to continue the habit even if you consume
some caffeine during the day.
Train Your Brain to Fall Asleep Faster
A decade ago it might have taken me 15-30
minutes to fall asleep most nights. Sometimes it
would take more than an hour if I had a lot on my
mind. And very occasionally I could fall asleep
within 5 minutes or less if I was very sleepy.
Today it’s fairly normal for me to fall asleep
within 30 seconds or less, and often I’m able to
fall asleep in less than 1 second. My best is
probably around 1/4 of a second.
How do I know this? Because I have a witness that
tells me how long I was out. I also know that I was
sleeping because I awaken with the memory of a
dream. If my sleep time is only a second or a
fraction of a second, then it’s obviously a very
short dream. Some time dilation occurs though,
so a 1-second dream may feel significantly
longer… perhaps as if 5-10 seconds have passed
within the dream world.
Is this narcolepsy? No, narcolepsy is very
different. I don’t just fall asleep at odd times
throughout the day, and I don’t have excessive
daytime sleepiness. Most days I don’t take any
naps. One thing I do have in common with
narcoleptics is that I can start having dreams
immediately when I fall asleep, whereas most
people don’t enter the dream state for at least an
hour. I regard this as a positive adaptation
though, not a problem or defect.
I can’t normally force myself to sleep when I’m
not at all sleepy. But when I’m ready to go to
sleep, I can go to sleep very quickly without
wasting time trying to fall asleep.
I’m not able to do this 100% perfectly. If I have a
stressful day and there’s a lot on my mind at
night, I may find it more difficult to relax and go
to sleep. But most of the time under normal,
average conditions, I can get to sleep within 30
seconds or less.
I reached this point not by the exertion of
conscious will but rather through a long-term
process of sleep training. So don’t think that
there’s some mental trick that you can use right
away to make this happen instantly. However,
once you’ve trained yourself to this point, the
process is effortless. You’ll be able to do it
automatically. It will be no more difficult than
blinking.
Understanding the Training Process
The training process may take a long time —
months or even years, depending on how far you
want to go — but it’s not at all difficult, and it
needn’t take a serious time commitment. In fact,
the training will most likely save you a significant
amount of time. The only challenging part is
maintaining consistency long enough to get
results.
First consider that it’s possible for you to fall
asleep faster. Have you ever been really tired and
sleepy at the end of a day, and you fell asleep
very quickly after getting into bed? Have you ever
drifted off while watching a movie or reading a
book? Have you ever fallen asleep within less
than 2 minutes after lying down? If you’ve done it
before, then consider the possibility that your
brain already knows how to fall asleep quickly,
and if you create the right conditions, then you’re
capable of doing this again. You just need to train
your brain to do this more consistently.
The main reason that you aren’t falling asleep
faster is that you haven’t trained your brain to do
so. You may be able to reach that point
eventually, but you’re not there yet. Similarly, you
may be able to do the splits if you engage in
flexibility training, but in the absence of such
training, you probably won’t be able to do the
splits at all.
If you want to fall asleep faster, you must
incentivize your brain to drop all other activity
and immediately transition into sleep when you
desire to do so. That is the essence of this
approach. If there are few consequences for a
lazy approach to falling asleep, then your brain
will continue to be lazy and inefficient in this
area. You haven’t given it a good enough reason
to select more efficient behaviors.
Your brain is always active, even during deep
sleep, and it operates in different modes of
consciousness, including beta (waking), alpha,
theta, and delta phases. When you lie in bed
waiting for sleep, you’re waiting for your brain to
switch modes. An untrained brain will often take
its own sweet time making the necessary state
change. So you may dwell on other thoughts… or
toss and turn… or just lie awake until your brain
is finally ready to transition. This is a common
experience. Without incentives to become more
efficient, your brain will remain naturally lazy by
default.
Your conscious mind might very much like to go
to sleep, but it isn’t in charge. Your subconscious
determines when you fall asleep. If your
subconscious mind is in no hurry to fall asleep,
then your conscious mind will have a hard time
forcing it. In fact, your subconscious may
continue to bubble up thoughts and ideas to
occupy your conscious mind, distracting you with
mental clutter instead of letting you relax and
slide into sleep.
A trained subconscious mind is obedient and fast.
When the conscious mind says to sleep, the
subconscious activates sleep mode immediately.
But this only works if you’re feeling at least
partially sleepy. If the subconscious doesn’t agree
with the need for sleep, it can still reject the
request.
The process I’ll share next will teach your brain
that putzing around isn’t an option anymore and
that when you decide to go to sleep, it needs to
transition immediately and without delay.
The Process
The process involves using short, timed naps to
train your brain to fall asleep more quickly.
Here’s how it works:
If and when you feel drowsy at some point during
the day, give yourself permission to take a 20-
minute nap. But only allow yourself exactly 20
minutes total. Use a timer to set an alarm. I often
do this by using Siri on my iPhone by saying, “Set
a timer for 20 minutes” or “Wake me up in 20
minutes.” The first one sets a countdown timer,
while the later phrase sets an alarm to go off at a
specific time. Sometimes I prefer to use a kitchen
timer with a 20-minute countdown.
Begin the timer as soon as you lie down for your
nap. Whether you sleep or not, and regardless of
how long it takes you to fall asleep, you have 20
minutes total for this activity… not a minute
more.
Simply relax and allow yourself to fall asleep as
you normally would. You don’t have to do
anything special here, so don’t try to force it. If
you fall asleep, great. If you just lie there awake
for 20 minutes, also great. And if you sleep for
some fraction of the time, that’s perfectly okay
too.
At the end of the 20 minutes, you must get up
immediately. No lingering. This part is crucial. If
you’re tempted to continue napping after the
alarm goes off, then put the alarm across the
room so you have to get up to turn it off. Or have
someone else forcibly yank you off the couch or
bed when they hear the alarm. But no matter
what, get up immediately. The nap is over. If
you’re still tired, you can take another nap later
— wait at least an hour — but don’t let yourself
go back to sleep right away.
I think it’s best to do your nap practice during the
day if you can, but you can also do it in the
evening, as long as it’s at least an hour before
your normal bedtime. Perhaps the best time for
an evening nap is right after dinner, when many
people feel a little sleepy.
You don’t have to take the naps every day, but do
them at least a few times a week if you can. I
think the ideal practice would be one nap per
day.
The next part of this process is to always wake up
with an alarm in the morning. Set your alarm for
a fixed time every day, seven days a week. When
your alarm goes off each morning, get up
immediately regardless of how much sleep you
actually got. Again, no lingering. If you need help
with this, read How to Become an Early Riser,
How to Become an Early Riser – Part II, and How
to Get Up Right Away When Your Alarm Goes Off.
Those articles have helped many thousands of
people improve their sleep habits.
Now when you go to bed at night, seek to go to
bed at a time that will essentially require you to
be sleeping the whole time you’re in bed in order
to feel well rested in the morning. So if you feel
you need a good 7 hours of sleep each night to
feel rested, and you plan to get up at 5am every
morning, then get yourself into bed and ready to
sleep at about 10pm. If you take 30 minutes to
fall asleep, then you’re getting less sleep than you
need, and this is a disincentive to continuing that
wasteful habit.
The message you’re sending to your brain is that
the time you have to sleep is limited. You are
going to get out of bed after a certain number of
hours no matter what. You’re going to get up
from your nap after a specific amount of time no
matter what. So if your brain wants to sleep, it
had better learn to go to sleep quickly and use
the maximum time allotted for sleep. If it wastes
time falling asleep, then it misses out on that
extra sleep, and it will not have the opportunity to
make it up by sleeping in later. Sleep time
squandered is sleep time lost.
When you go to bed whenever and allow yourself
to get up whenever, you reward your brain for
continued laziness and inefficiency. It’s fine if you
take a half hour to fall asleep since your brain
knows it can just sleep in later. If you awaken
with an alarm but go to bed earlier than
necessary to compensate for the time it takes you
to fall asleep, your still tell your brain that it’s fine
to waste time transitioning to sleep because
there’s still enough extra time to get the rest it
needs.
Coffee and chocolate are also crutches because if
you don’t get enough sleep, your brain can come
to rely on a stimulant to keep it going when
necessary. If you remove these outs, then your
brain will soon connect the dots. It will learn that
taking too long to fall asleep equals not getting
enough sleep, which means going through the
day tired and sleepy. By closing the door on
potential outs like stimulants and extra snooze
time, you leave only one remaining option for a
solution. Sooner or later your brain will
determine that going to sleep faster is indeed the
solution, and it will adapt by transitioning into
sleep much more quickly, so as to secure the full
amount of rest it desires.
Instead of continuing to give your brain the
message that oversleeping is okay or that
stimulants are available, begin to condition it to
understand that sleep time is a limited resource.
Your brain is naturally good at optimizing scarce
physiological resources; it evolved to do so over a
long period of time. So if sleep time appears to
be a limited resource, your brain can learn to
optimize its use of this resource just as it has
learned to optimize the use of oxygen and sugar.
If you get sleepy during the day as a result of
limiting your sleep time at night, that’s perfectly
okay. Take naps as needed. It’s okay to take
multiple naps during the day if you need to, but
keep them limited to 20 minutes max, and don’t
have two naps within an hour of each other.
Whenever you get up, stay up for at least an hour.
Once you get used to 20-minute naps — or if you
don’t have that much time available for napping
— try napping for shorter intervals. Give yourself
15, 10, or even 5 minutes for each nap. I
sometimes take 3-4 minute naps (with a timer),
which are surprisingly refreshing, but only if I fall
asleep quickly.
Teach your brain that a 20-minute nap means 20
minutes of total time lying down. If your brain
wants to ruminate during part of that time, it
always means less sleep.
Also teach your brain that X number of hours in
bed at night is all it gets, and so if it wants to get
enough sleep, it had better spend virtually all of
that time sleeping. If it spends time on non-sleep
activity, it always robs itself of some sleep.
Once you’ve adapted and you’re able to fall
asleep quickly when you desire to do so, you can
slack off on the training process, ditch the alarm,
and wake up whenever you want. Most likely the
training will stick. You can even add the caffeine
back if you so desire. But for a period of at least a
couple months to start, I recommend being strict
about it. Take naps regularly, and use an alarm to
get up at a consistent time every single day.
I still prefer to get up with an alarm most days. I
don’t need it to fall asleep quickly, but I tend to
linger in bed more than necessary without the
alarm.
If this is too strict for you, I doubt you’ll succeed
with this approach. If you give your brain an easy
out, it will take that out, and it won’t learn the
adaptation you’re trying to teach it here.
Everyone is different, so how long it takes you to
adapt depends on your particular brain. I’m sure
some people will adapt fairly quickly, within a few
weeks, while others may take significantly longer.
There are many factors that can influence the
results, with perhaps the biggest one being your
diet. In general, a lighter, healthier, and more
natural diet will make it significantly easier to
adapt to any sort of sleep changes. Regular
exercise also makes it easier to adapt to sleep
changes; cardio exercise in particular helps to
rebalance hormones and neurotransmitters,
many of which are involved in regulating sleep
cycles. If you eat a heavily processed diet (i.e.
shopping mostly outside the produce section) and
you don’t exercise much, just be aware that I
rarely see such people succeed with worthwhile
sleep changes of any kind.
One last item I’ll share is that I’m able to fall
asleep fastest when I’m cuddling someone, both
for naps and when going to bed at night. On my
own I can get to sleep in under 30 seconds
normally, but when I’m cuddling a nice warm
female body, that’s when I can often get to sleep
in less than a second. So I invite you to
experiment with this if you have a willing cuddle

Caffeine is the modern drug of choice in the work world, easily accessible, socially acceptable, readily affordable, and of course perfectly legal. As for the health effects, I’ve read evidence both for good and ill, so right now I don’t fall strongly on either side. One thing is clear though — caffeine is addictive. And this addictive nature is what leans me towards the negative side. As a teenager I often drank sodas; cola was my favorite. I never drank coffee as a teenager, and I rarely drank it in college. But when I got into programming PC games, I’d sometimes drink coffee every day for months at a time. But I’d always eventually break the habit and have no caffeine for months at a time too. It was sort of cyclical. Then I read the book Pour Your Heart Into It by Howard Schultz, which is the story of Starbucks (Schultz is the CEO). Schultz made gourmet coffee sound so good, that I embarked on a Starbucks kick for a while and tried all different kinds Continue reading @ babzadedeji..com/2015/03/how-to-give-up-coffee.html?m=1 |

A ‘mad man’, Lanrewaju Jaiyeola, has been arrested with 22
Automated Teller Machine cards, two mobile phones and a
power bank.
He was nabbed by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad
of the Lagos State Police Command on the Victoria Island
area of Lagos State.
The police said they were not convinced that Jaiyeola was
actually mad, adding that initially, he was lucid before he
started talking illogically.
It was gathered that Jaiyeola, 39, was intercepted by the RRS
operatives with a backpack on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road.
One of the RRS men, who declined identification, said,
“When we sighted him, he appeared like a mentally-ill man,
but we invited him for interrogation. He responded normally
to all our enquiries.
“A few minutes into the interrogation, he started straying
from the normal course of our enquiries and was not
making sense at all. This raised further curiosity and we
decided to search his backpack.
“Inside the backpack, we found 22 ATM cards, one Nokia
phone, a BlackBerry, a power bank, several bank tellers of
recent bank transactions, and lots of invoices hidden in
pieces of papers.”
It was learnt that eight of the credit cards were still valid,
and they had different names and banks. The officers took
him to their base in Alausa, Ikeja.
A policeman at the base told our correspondent that the
suspect made “statements suggestive of somebody
disguising as a mad man to perpetrate crime”.
He said, “Initially, we noticed that he was mentally balanced
because he was answering the questions posed to him
adequately. But all of a sudden, he started sounding
incoherent and illogical again.
“While interrogating him, he threatened the Investigating
Police Officer, saying, ‘I will make life unbearable for you if
you don’t let me go’.
“It was at this point we realised that possibly he might be
enjoying the patronage of some highly-placed people whom
we believe he was working for.”
The police said the suspect was on their watch-list for about
two weeks before he was arrested.
The RRS Commander, Olatunji Disu, said Jaiyeola had been
transferred to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. babzadedeji..com/2016/02/madman-arrested-with-22-atm-cards.html?m=1 |
