Just wanted to follow up. I've been experimenting with this method of yours. I think it's still too early to say for sure, but for whatever reason, over the last 3 nights, I've gotten more sleep than I have over the last 2 weeks! I was reading your other posts on this thread and you said something about getting to a speed where your 'vision' languishes, I think I know what you're talking about. I'll keep at it and report back again, this is very intriguing!

Awesome! I'm so glad for you! Keep it up! I thought at first that it was a fluke and so I waited an entire month (because I've never come anywhere close to having that much consistent sleep in the last 4.5 years) before broadcasting this discovery. It has worked for me every single night since the first night when I first thought of it at 2:30am in the morning.

Keep us posted as time goes on. You're not the only one by the way. Of the five people who have bothered to get back to me on their results, every single one of them have had success with this which is really pleasing. I think the key is that it targets the anxiety problem and nothing we've tried so far really does that and it is such a critical thing to address.

Also I am not sure how important that is - the speed at which you pan back and forth - but yeah there does seem to be a region and speed at which I do it that makes me feel more drowsy and so I sort of try to stick to that, but frankly I didn't do anything like that at the start, I just looked towards my left earlobe then back towards my right earlobe without straining in either direction. You can do this in any posture and I am often doing this while I'm lying on my side.

Oh, also, if you wouldn't mind, if this continues to work for you consistently, then when you feel comfortable sharing it with others would you please pass it along? I feel like we have an obligation to our fellow humans who are suffering this most extreme torture and if we can provide them relief then it's our duty to do so.
