The most active interferer with our sleep is stress. Not the stress a simple challenge brings that can bring us health, for this challenge can be a help to us. But the stress of worrying about the things where nothing is yet to be done. If there is something to be done, do it. If there is nothing that can be done, let it go.
This is often easier said than done. Meditation is the proven method to learning how to let go. Each gap in thought that we can embrace brings more peace to that moment. These moments begin to infuse themselves into our lives, if we but let them.
Meditate: every moment counts. Find a few moments every day. Find the gaps in between our thoughts, and simply sit with those empty spaces instead of the thoughts... just let the thoughts go. If they come, just let them go... find instead the void... and let the void grow.
From the void all things come, so only in the void does everything exist.
In the west we say that everything comes from somewhere; but in our teaching Everything comes from nothing. In the nothing there is potential for everything.
