This is exactly the Zen moment that fixed my lifelong insomnia: lying in bed relaxed with my eyes closed, even if I'm not asleep, leaves me feeling worlds better in the morning than fretting about not being able to sleep. It's something that happened when I forgot about it completely. Once I realized I could literally just lie in bed for 8 hours and be OK, I was able to let go.
It's like a trap that closes tighter about you the more you struggle, and releases if you allow yourself to relax
Once I really got that, sleep became regular and uninterrupted
