Sleep Mode & Waking Mode Contradiction
When a mind that is supposed to be in sleep mode (using long-term memory) is processing information from waking mode (short-term memory), this has much to do with why we can't sleep. The body has switched over and is trying to get rest but the mind has not switched over and is still processing information from waking mode. What we experienced today or what we need to do tomorrow is not supposed to interfere with what we need to do right now – sleep. Restless sleep is the mind trying to get the body to do waking activity when the body is trying to do sleeping activity. Movements are being imposed upon the body trying to sleep by a mind that can't sleep. The mind is forcing the body to do what the mind is thinking about. The body is resisting. Mind and body are out of sync and fighting each other. This is unhealthy because body-mind rhythm is way off.Temporary Fix: Write Things Down
If we are having trouble sleeping due to having too much on our minds, the first thing we can do is write things down before laying down. Writing things down cleans out the cache of short-term memory. Once the short-term memory is cleaned out, the mind will look into short-term memory but won't find anything. As a result, the mind will then switch to using long-term memory. This is a manual way to get our minds to switch into sleep mode if this is not happening automatically. Writing things down safely removes information from short-term memory and transfers it to paper. The paper becomes the memory where the information is safely stored. We don't have to “worry” about losing it or forgetting it. The information is readily and easily available the next day and can once again be uploaded into short-term memory by reading the list and referring to it throughout the day. In order to overcome insomnia we should completely clean out short-term memory. We should write down anything and everything on our minds, not just in brief, but at length until we have run out of thoughts and questions to write down. Organize thoughts in a notebook with one topic per several pages. This way, there won't be as much to write the next day, just updates. Writing things down is a temporary fix. In a healthy functioning bodily ecosystem, the mind automatically switches over from waking mode to sleep mode. The mind automatically stops processing information in short-term memory and starts processing information in long-term memory. This occurs without the need to clear out short-term memory.Permanent Fix: The Body's Ecosystem
In order to get the body's ecosystem functioning properly, we must not only get sufficient rest. We must get sufficient nutrition and avoid toxins in order to overcome insomnia naturally, thus permanenty.Sufficient Rest
Sufficient rest is determined by the body ecosystem's daily guidance on how much is needed. The body ecosystem always lets us know when to rest, sleep and wake up. Sufficient rest allows the body ecosystem to rejuvenate itself. The rejuvenation process includes daily system maintenance and repairs. Deeper and more sufficient sleep allows for deeper and more thorough system maintenance.What Else Happens During Sleep
During sleep, growth occurs. Not getting enough sleep stunts growth in every way. During sleep, deeper processing of information occurs. Information in long-term memory can be used to help us with what we are currently doing and thinking about. During sleep is when additional information is communicated by our Ancestors and through dreams. During waking hours, all the bits and pieces of information used can become separated into fragments. Sleep is when defragmentation occurs.* Related information is moved around and grouped appropriately. This helps minimize contradictions in the short-term and eliminate contradictions in the long-term because all the information is right there and easier to compare. Without a doubt, if we have long-term contradictions, we do not have a properly functioning body ecosystem. We are not getting sufficient rest, sleep and/or nutrition and way too much toxins. This is a recipe for contradictions and insomnia. In fact, insomnia is the result of a contradiction as explained above.An Additional Way To Switch To Sleep Mode
Do not believe the falsehoods about eating late or before going to bed.** Eating automatically causes the body to divert energy to the digestion process which induces a lethargic sleepy feeling. Resting or sleeping after eating is natural, normal, healthy and suggested. As a result, a possible sequence to overcome insomnia could be: eat, write things down, lay down, sleep, wake up naturally, read what has been written down.Without sleep we are predisposed to self-defeat.
Brain-Mind-Spirit Computer Comparisons *Sleep is for maintenance and repair of the body and defragmentation of the genetic material in every cell. If you have a sleep problem you will have a health problem and a logic problem. If you are one of those people who proudly believes you don't need that much sleep, you will have a health problem and a logic problem.
An individual example from a society perspective: Just as it was with 911, America had all the information but was not able to put it together to make necessary decisions. The society functions using fragmented logic because the society never rests from all of its devious behaviors worldwide. So also, a person can have all the information needed but can't put it together due to the lack of sleep and rest as aggravating factors preventing the coming together and proper sequencing of logic. **This doesn't mean eat more than the body ecosystem requires. It does not mean eat anything. It means adjust eating to a later time and eat what is nutritious. It means eating lighter earlier and heavier later or half earlier and half later. The net effect on weight gain is not negatively impacted by eating closer to bedtime. Health is positively impacted when sleep improves.
