Recently, I found out that I fall asleep easier when I put my head to one side. To be more specific, I fall asleep quicker when one of my ears is closed off — easily done by rolling my head to one side. I feel better when I create this artificial corner in my mind where my consciousness retreats to, quite literally, by closing off one ear. My thoughts shift to take place closer to my closed off ear. The only entrance, it seems, to my head is the ear that’s free, since it’s the only part of my senses that really feeds me any input. It’s interesting how that works, and how aware of it I am — even though I don’t seem to be very apt at putting it into words.
