One thing that I find really puts pressure on our sleeping state of consciousness is the constant effort to awaken.
Our sleeping system can handle sporadic efforts or a few efforts during the day but a continuous effort throughout the whole day and night is something that it doesn't like.
This continuous effort is also something that effectively shifts our sleeping state into a more awake one.
After-all the awakened consciousness is something more or less continuous with fluctuations of course in intensity.
To do a practice of death or awakening every hour at least during the day, makes a person to feel the power of continuity towards awakening and the establishing of a permanent centre of consciousness.
