Ive been trying to do affirmations before dreams. It doesn’t work. My mind wanders. Its as if i have some kind of block.
I noticed, listening to M.A.P brainwave generator that my mind can wander within >=3 minutes. After 4,5 minutes' i can be asleep.

I've studied my falling asleep "process":
1. I go lie on my back on my bed, trying not to think about anything
2. Thinking to not think about anything.
3. Some random though comes into my mind, voices and whatnot, or a (dream) hallucination.
4. I awake abruptly.
5. Then on my back, and then an URGE to turn on my righthandside i just cant ignore this urge.
6. I turn onto my righthand side.
7. Thinking to not think about anything, within ?seconds? dream thought/hallucinations.
8. BEEEP BEEEP BEEEEEP its my morning clock 7-hours later.

I want lucid dreams. Looks like THOUGHTs distracts me.
I shouldn’t do affirmations coz it distratcs and even speeds up my dreaming mind.

Often i do not get enough sleep, due to work, social life etc..

Questions:
1. How much sleep do you get everyday?
2. What time do you get up, and go to sleep?
3. Any tips, HOW can i clear my mind i dont wanna even think not to think.
4. Do you lie on a special way, like with a pillow, or your jaw open, or eyes looking somewhere?
