Interesting! When I was a kid that is the way I used to fall asleep! I would look at all the patterns behind my eyelids and soon I would feel this sensation of my body rocking, as if I were on a boat. It was my favorite thing. I often think, now why can't I do that now? But I always begin to think and stop just looking!
