I generally use a meditation (?) variant. It may be some other variant, not sure.
It's probably also related to my pain blocking techniques.
The only problem is that it requires a certain amount of concentration, and I can't always muster that.
But when I can I can put myself out in less than fifteen minutes.
What is that called? Guided relaxation, imagery? I concentrate on "smoothing out" the portions of the brain that feel active. On blanking out the activity of the brain. For pain blocking I picture a wall that the nerve impulses bump against and are repulsed before reaching my brain. It doesn't work well for headaches.
Or maybe it's just called the placebo effect. But for whatever reason, it works well.
