I just had this insight yesterday! And now there is a thread on this.
I have been trying meditation/mindulness for a while. So, I have been trying to meditate before sleeping, relaxing my muscles. And sometimes it worked, sometimes it dint.
Yesterday I had an epiphany that I might be grasping for relaxation while trying to follow my mindful and muscle relaxation exercises. So, all I did was forget about muscle relaxation and just laid there, falling asleep in 5 minutes.
It talks exactly about what you are saying in your 2nd paragraph. Similarly, sometimes it works for me, sometimes I focus too much on checking if I'm relaxed and I cannot sleep..
