I learned about the SMR trick from Neuroprogrammer.
SMR is associated with a whole lot of autonomic functions, including the phenomenon of 'sleep paralysis', which allows you to keep still and ignore sensations whilst sleeping.
SMR sessions well ahead of bedtime improve your body's ability to sleep soundly, and thus are used to treat insomnia. There are lots of other benefits to regular use of SMR, such as better co-ordination and balance.
This is not to be confused with sleep induction, which use theta/delta to get you to sleep, or sleep cycle sessions that keep you asleep.
I've used SMR on a number of people who had been having trouble sleeping through the night with excellent results.
Cheers,
Craig
