How it works
Long stretches of lying awake teach the bed a second meaning: the place where you wait. The core instruction is counter-intuitive but specific — when you have been awake long enough to notice, get up, do something dull and dim elsewhere, come back when sleepy. The point is not the time out of bed; it is that the bed stops hosting the waiting.
