I recently learned of a qigong technique called the Nine Turns / Sleeping loop - its in Gilles Marin's book "Healing from WIthin with Chi Nei Tsang', Gilles says its from Sheng Zhen Wuji Yuan Gong (Master Li Jun Feng). With practice one is supposed to arrive at the state of being able to fall asleep anytime you want by doing this technique for a couple of minutes! I'm skeptical, I'm practicing, if this works, well, wow! Are there are other qigong /meditation techniques that are specifically for improving the quantity and quality of sleep? We've all done meditations or practices where we inadvertently fell asleep, that is not what I'm talking about. There are also loads of techniques that will make you happier, make you healthier, build strong bodies 12 ways, and, among their long list of side effects, probably improve your sleep. I do those $!%#$ things every !$%#$ day, and I am $#$@! happier, and I am healthier, and no, they haven't really improved my sleep that much, yet. Thanks
