Cognitive Shuffling- for better sleep

[Brumbyinthesunshine]

Has anyone tried this?
Hope to give it a test run. Apparently assists with sleep.
1)Choose a non-emotional word - example - CALM (while resting in bed or preferred place)
2) Think of three to four words for each corresponding letter.
3) C- cool, cat, care
A-apple, ant, air
L-love, lamp, light
M- mellow, meadow,moon

Hoping members can add on to this ......to create an ongoing word list.

Never heard of this technique before, something tells me it'll make my mind run overtime. I'm always at a loss for words, especially positive ones.

I agree. It sounds like a good idea for some. for me, it would kick in some perfectionist frustrations I developed during religious education demands/ mistreatment during my childhood...all illegal now

I'm afraid that would only make my ocd worse than it already is :) But for anyone who tries it, I hope it works for them!

Thanks so much for feedback. No idea, as have not tried- hence the question/ post.
Supposedly recommended by sleep study centres and some positive research- hence the curiosity.

I don’t think in words, I think in pictures, so that’s the kind of thing I do if I’m sleepy and need to fight sleep / stay awake.
