OBE before you sleep turns into Insomnia

[JAW]

Hi Picard. Damn funny alias / pic btw hehehe. I laughed first time I saw it

I noticed one time a similar thing to what youre describing. Tried to project, failed, then couldn't sleep. Its funny, I would almost describe it like, the backs of your eyelids look different or become more obvious or something, I cant quite explain it. So when you go from trying to project, to sleep, I have the same feeling as if Im trying to project thus I cant sleep. Not sure what to suggest, I just eventually went to sleep. Usually just sleeping in one position and trying to OBE in another prevents it but not this time...

Did you try getting up then going back to sleep again?

Other than that, maybe its best you try and project while seated? Hows that work for you?

Cheers.

I have experienced this also, and the reverse of it as well. There were times when I OBE'd and when I came back I was exhilerated and energized as if I had had a long sleep even though I had been out only a short time and I remained awake the rest of the night.

JAW, I think perhaps your right, I should stick to sitting down in a chair, instead of Practising whilst in bed before sleeping. I can actually meditate better this way, so perhaps I'll OBE better to, and then not suffer from Insomnia when going to bed [8D]

And I didn't try getting up then going back to bed.... I usually just suffer by rolling all around the bed getting angry with myself. "I'll try the falling out of bed approach next time" []

I've got the same problem if I try to project before going to sleep.
While reaching for the projection state I can temporarily loose consciousness but then awaken again. Same thing if I do NEW before going to sleep.

When I'm done something in my brain goes *TCHICHIIIIIIIING* and my eyes are wide awake and I could as well count sheeps the rest of the night.

Oh yeah nice avatar picard [][][]

Hi Guys,

I have never had an OBE before, but have tried and each time failed miserably.
The first time was when I listened to the  binaural trance-inducing track, this just made me tired and I fell asleep within minutes.[]

I have also tried a few times at night when going to bed, I start by raising my energy and then focusing on keeping my body asleep and my mind awake. Sometimes I might get slight vibrations....

My problem is.. whenever I try to OBE/AP at night before going to sleep.... my mind stays occupied and i then suffer from Insomnia.
The same happens if I raise my energy before going to sleep...
It's incredibly annoying. last night I tried to OBE and failed, I then wanted to just fall asleep but couldn't..... the last time i looked at the clock it was 5am and I had to be up by 7:30 am, So I didn't get much sleep

Does anyone else suffer from this insomnia after raising there energy before sleeping.
