The first step is to learn what it feels like to to watch the body fall asleep. Once you know that other methods because far easier.
Here's one way to do it, this takes two days to do. The first day write down:
- What time you get out of bed
- What time in the afternoon your melatonin levels go up temporarily and make you tired
- What time the melatonin spike wears off
- What time you go to bed[/list:u]
On day two get up three hours earlier than you usually do, this will cut off two REM cycles of sleep.
In the afternoon, a half hour before your melatonin spike comes put yourself into dark surroundings to prepare for a short nap. When the time for the spike arrives, set your alarm clock for a half hour. Lay down in a position where you won't cut off any circulation and in which you can fall asleep.
Close your eyes, put your mental focus on your chest and lightly focus your eyes about 18 inches in to the blackness behind your eyelids.
Wait for a half hour and do not move at all, including not moving your eyes. You will almost certainly fall asleep during that time. When the heaviness wave comes as your body falls asleep you will feel it in your chest first because it makes your breathing somewhat more difficult, if your focus is already on your chest there's less of a chance that you will be startled and wake up.
When your body falls asleep, lay there and memorize what it feels like. You can also try projecting from this state using the following:

Get up after a half hour when your alarm clock goes off. Under no circumstances should you sleep in the afternoon longer than a half hour because there's a strong risk of throwing off the sleep cycle.
You may be tired but stay up until the same time you did the night before so your sleep cycle will be back on track.
