The problem of sleeping without sleeping

I've always been jealous of people who are able to take power naps. I can't do it, unless I've done something exceptionally exhausting or I barely slept the night before. I end up closing my eyes waiting to fall asleep, and then nothing happens.

There's nothing wrong with laying down and closing your eyes for 15 minutes even if you don't fall asleep.

Try meditation. I guess you are not supposed to fall asleep while meditating, but the breathing exercises I learnt from meditating always helped me fall asleep.

If the breathing exercises help you fall asleep and you want to fall asleep, then as far as anyone is concerned, it's working as intended. ;)

Now if you were falling asleep while trying to meditate then you might not be sleeping enough in general.
