I use to do that. And too often it prompted me to get up and complete a "should have" task, or go add another 30 minutes to an open project, or add something to a shopping list. I still sometimes do that, mostly with eternally open projects.
But for the most part I changed my eyes closed routine to writing or creating a couple of fiction novels, with myself or my imaginary self as the main character. I'm about 5 chapters into my current mental novel now. When I get writer's block (thinker's block) I go back and review what's already been created, and when I do that I'm practically living in my imagination and completely disconnected from the awake world. I'm asleep.
