Lights out

Spent the evening dozing a bit and reading up on meditation. I've decided that it might be a good idea to add some breathing exercises to my meditation .. probably alternate nostril breathing and probably at the start of it, It'll add some structure to it and it's said to be good for you.

Meditation is meant to help if you can't sleep much as it rests the mind and body and I'm going to try to teach myself to go into a relaxed state more often to try and make up for any lack of sleep .. it's probably better to rest with the lights out .. even if I can't sleep, than sitting here with them on .. helps with the production of melatonin too.

So, it's better to rest with the lights off even if I can't sleep. Can still play a bit of relaxing music I guess.

I do use a mask during the day sometimes to block the light out but maybe this'll be better. Well. at least sometimes. I know I'm not going to sleep .. but it might be better just to rest.
