No matter how strange it may sound, but for the most part we really do not know how to sleep, because we are not able to completely relax.

If you put a child or a cat on the sand, let them calm down or fall asleep, and then carefully lift them up, then the shape of the whole body will be imprinted on the sand. If you do the same experiment with an adult, then only a trace of strongly depressed shoulder blades and a sacrum will remain on the sand, while the rest of the body, due to constant, chronic, habitual muscle tension, is less likely to come into contact with the sand and will not be imprinted on it.
All muscle tension must be released. This state gives the best rest to the body. With such a rest, you can freshen up in half an hour or an hour in a way that under other conditions it will not be possible to achieve this during the night. No wonder the leaders of the caravans resort to such methods. They cannot stay long in the desert, and are forced to reduce their sleep to a minimum. The duration of rest is compensated for by the complete release of the body from muscle tension, which gives renewal to the tired body.

Another very effective and surprisingly simple sleeping pill: lying down with your eyes closed, “look” up, as if you want to see the inside of your forehead. Chances are good that in a few seconds you will fall asleep.
