Alexander Technique for Insomniacs

If you're lying in bed in the wee small hours, desperately trying to get to sleep, follow these Alexander tips:

1. Stop trying
2. Notice the thoughts racing through your head, and the tension in your body
3. Bring your attention to your breathing.  On each out-breath, think lightly of your head releasing away from your feet, in the direction that the top of your spine is pointing.
4. On each in-breath, think lightly of your back widening.

                                                                 Sweet dreams!
