This is fascinating. I’ve never even heard of this and I’ve struggled with insomnia for decades.

Best answer I’ve found it turning on a movie I’ve seen a million times on low volume. It turns off my brain enough that I can sleep but it doesn’t interest me enough to keep me awake.

Yup! I'd say watching boring TV is pretty similar to what I did with reading a really boring book, it makes you think less about sleep and put less effort into it.

The military technique, to my surprise, worked. Not sure if it is effective for insomnia, but it helps you fall asleep in a minute or two rather than 1 or 2 hours.
