    Probably about 5-10 minutes most of the time.

    Your brain chatters to itself all the time, so if you stfu with the inner monologue and instead just try to eavesdrop on what’s going on in the background, that leads pretty much directly into a dream state.

      Thats called WILD!

      Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming, hard to do but pretty cool if you can pull it off.

      Same, I have sleep tracks I listen to as well that usually start with a relax/disrupt your self-think exercise and then start describing a scene, like a train ride through pastures, this is not the same as leaving the TV or YouTube running, or an audiobook; it’s intentionally boring and low engagement but it gives you something to focus on listening to so that you don’t get caught up in your own thoughts, similar to the eavesdropping.
