Well, I work a job that’s fairly backbreaking and hard, so by the time I finally make it home in the evenings, I’m more than ready to pass out. Some nights I struggle to get to sleep, but when I do, I usually listen to some really soothing or calm music in the dark, with aromatic scented oils percolating through the air to help me relax. It helps me ninety percent of the time, but I still have a problem waking up at three in the morning due to seeing the shadow of someone standing in the corner of my room, staring me down.
I learned I have to have it cold in my room. Like 60°F/15°C and a fan on. Or if sleep still isn’t happening- I turn on ocean/beach sounds or some times try classic music. Also cut your screen time before bed. Turn down your lights in the house/appartment and that includes the brightness on laptop/iPad/phone. And if you can turn off the blue light do it. Or if all else fails just get zzzquil sleep aid. People don’t realize lights mess with your brains melatonin.
Take 3 deep breaths and clear your mind dont focus on falling asleep just focus on trying to keep it clear.
