Falling asleep is one of those odd exercises where desire and effort are a hindrance.
The more you want it and the more effort you expend the harder it is to attain.
Someone who’s lying in bed desperately wanting to sleep may find themselves tossing and turning all night in frustration.
In order to fall asleep that person has to reduce their desire to a complete indifference. A nonchalant attitude that doesn’t mind a sleepless night.
Sleep is such an important part of our lives and yet the method of acquiring is at odds with how we achieve every other goal.
It’s kind of funny isn’t it?
