Thoughts between sleep and wakefulness

When I am trying to fall asleep, I know that it is close when my thoughts become very strange and unreal, as if my dreaming is already starting. This morning, I was interested to notice that this was also true as I remained in bed for a while after awakening, experiencing similar strange thoughts, like imaginative daydreaming. It is not long after my thoughts turn to reality that I feel inclined to arise.

Several years ago I took to playing sudoku when in bed. When my eyes start drifting, I put my old iPad Mini away and I'm asleep. Or if my iPad times out and turns itself off, I know I'm too far gone.

I recently went from hard to extreme. But sudoku at bedtime is not something that I'd recommend for all, though it works for me.
