Are You Trying to Fall Asleep?

Try to Fall Asleep is  a Mistake.

Trying to fall asleep actually prevents you from falling asleep, because falling asleep is not an action, it's not something you do, it's something that happens to you.

If you try to fall asllep you tense up and, consequently, you stay awake. Your experience has already shown that to you, isn't it? Yet you keep straining when it's time to fall asleep.

Big Mistake.
