I discovered similar techniques because I realized that I was wasting too much time trying to fall asleep. But I think I can summarize it better:
1. If any of your muscles are tensed, recognize it and untense them!
2. Purge all distracting thoughts. The easiest way to do this is imagine that you're unburdened by human concerns. Imagine that you're an immortal being floating through space, or sinking into the ocean, or floating on it.
