The Eyes Have It

I realized that I squeeze my eyes tight to go to sleep.  I’m trying to break the habit.  It was a subconscious thing: It’s time to sleep, and if I squeeze my eyes shut I’ll stop thinking of the million things I have to do and fall asleep really quick.  

It doesn’t work. 

Now I try to think of relaxing my muscles from my forehead to my toes.  Well, I think forehead.. eyes.. nose.. mouth.. neck.. shoulders.. toes.  Then I relax my eyes again.

If you see extra wrinkle lines around my eyes you’ll know why.
