Are you spying on me?
If you’ve been unable to sleep for a while, the best advice I’ve ever been given is to leave the bed for at least 15 minutes. What I usually do is go to my living room, lie on the sofa and read a book or something. After around 15 minutes I go back to bed and give sleep a try.
It never works out to lie sleepless for extended periods in bed, so just accept the fact of your sleeplessness and do something else for a while.
Once I take my evening pills, I literally stare into my phone until I drop dead.
It’s really weird when you fall asleep with your phone in your hand, and your hand suddenly relaxes making the phone flop onto you waking you up.
This actually works well for me…
Looking mindlessly at my phone and scrolling through pointless posts puts me to sleep significantly faster than laying still listening to whatever thoughts and concerns my brain conjures up.
This hits hard for me. There have been too many nights where I am just lying in bed with my mind racing. I’ve tried breathing techniques, meditation, the whole book. Doesn’t work for me, and I am left with taking delayed release melatonin pills.
