Sleep easy

So, nearly a week after learning the counting breaths relaxation technique, how much sleep have my friend and I been getting?

For myself, I've been doing ok, though I still find myself waking up in the night, or too early in the morning.  But sometimes I forget to do the breathing exercise. I shall practise some more.

For my friend - amazing results!  She has gone from often getting only 2-5 hours sleep a night (leaving her in a horrible state much like jetlag) to sleeping ten hours straight through.  Even our instructor was taken aback at this dramatic turnaround. 

My friend was certainly on great form today, very happy to be feeling properly rested.  So I have to conclude, there really are demonstrable benefits to this breath-counting thing, ridiculously simple though it is.
