Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m running on fumes after a short night and I can’t actually fall asleep in the middle of the day, but if I could just be talked down into deep rest for twenty minutes I think I could make it to evening.
- When I’m that deeply relaxed I want to plant one quiet, true thing about who I’m trying to be
- I lie down to rest but my body stays revved
- Every time I try to relax I end up trying so hard at it that I get more tense
- The moment I finish moving I’m up and onto the next thing

The relaxation mechanism is plausible and small studies are encouraging, but the evidence is still emerging — this is a low-risk recovery practice, not a proven substitute for sleep. - Set a calm intention (sankalpa)
