One of the Buddhist practices is turning it off and on again:
Beyond the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception lies a state called nirodha samāpatti, the "cessation of perception, feelings and consciousness".[52] Only in commentarial and scholarly literature, this is sometimes called the "ninth jhāna".[53][54] Another name for this state is saññāvedayitanirodha ("cessation of perception and feeling"). According to Buddhaghosa's Visuddhimagga (XXIII, 18), it is characterized by the temporary suppression of consciousness and its concomitant mental factors, so the contemplative reaches a state unconscious (acittaka) for a week at most. In the nirodha the meditator is not dead: life-force (āyu) and bodily heat (usmā) remain.[55] Neuroscientists have recently studied this phenomenon empirically and proposed a model for its neural-substrate. [56]

"The #jhanas are a series of eight (or nine) altered mental states, which progress from euphoria, to calm, to dissolution of reality – culminating in cessation, or loss of consciousness. They are induced via sustained concentration, without any external stimuli or substances. This is a practical guide on how to do them yourself."
