What's the best thing to think about while drifting off

Sometimes I can have maybe 5-10 minutes laying down and I already start day dreaming in my head. Where I imagine, for example, me skateboarding at my local skate park. But my sleep seems to go nowhere. Could it be that Im focusing too much on the" day dream" and have to let thoughts/events flow though my head? If so, anyone have any suggestions on how to let your thoughts flow freely, without getting to attached/focused in them.

Or on the contrary, how to benefit from my “day dream” and drift off to sleep fast? Any suggestions/help much appreciated.

It works very well for me to adapt the “daydreaming” to fit the random thoughts and images that fall into my head in half sleep. For example, if images of a tree pop up. I “daydream” about climbing it. This can give a very smooth transition into a LD on a lucky day.

I would say that the single most effective scene, for me, is to imagine walking along a road or path. Other scenes might work for other people.
