Could meditation be as easy as that? It’s always seemed very daunting to me.

It can help with insomnia, although I don’t always think to do it, lol. Times I have, I usually fall back to sleep before I can finish.

Sounds like it works, then, if you fall asleep before you can finish!

I read somewhere about a guy that spent 10 hours a day for 10 years meditating while staring at the wall. When asked what he achieved he said he got very good at staring at walls. 🙏
