Sleep Onset Suggestion

[Synergy]

It is well known the the mind is very open to the power of suggestion while in a deeply hypnotic state.  We can use this in order to induce an OBE. 

Unlike other methods that require you to go through complete progressive relaxation first and then focus on visualizations, this method uses neither.  Instead, you need to just focus on falling asleep, but learn to become aware of the exact moment you feel sleep take over. 

This will require some practice though some people can do this easily.  Everyone has experienced those days of extreme tiredness when we feel ourselves going... (in school when we were younger maybe? The feeling that just preceeds the point where your head is about to drop down and smash off the desk and you wake back up, hoping nobody noticed!!) It's that falling, inevitabilitty of sleep taking over that you want to recognize.  It does happen every time you go to sleep but you usually are not paying attention.  Your mind will already be in a highly suggestion-receptive state naturally at that time. 

All that is needed in order to use this state to your advantage is to make your very last thought before sleep takes over, that of having an OBE.  Say to yourself as you drift off  "I WILL have an OBE and I WILL remember..."    That's all there is to it!

You idea about taking notice of wehen you begin to fall asleep seems like a good idea.  I believe that in that not quite asleep, but not quite awke either state is the time that your mind would have to be most open to a sugestion. 
I remember when I was a little girl.  I used to, for some reason be quite fastenated and amazed by the whole process of the boby falling asleep.  I remember telling my mother once when I was mabye seven, how strange it was that I could never notice the moment I dozed off every night.  She thought it to be a little odd that I would have been thinking about that at all, but I did alot of thinking like that.  I have also been troubled with moderate sleep problems on and off thoughout my life, starting from early childhood.  When I was about nine years old, I used to, in an effort to get to sleep at nihgts, lay in bed and ask myself if I was sleeping or dreaming yet.  after reading you sugestion, I am thinking thatr I may have been onto something when I  was young and of course knew nothing about OBEs.  I think I would like to try some of those things again and see if I can make it work for me now.
