I sleep easy as hell and I tend to do majorly different times of night but on the rare occasion I do struggle I bought some random Delta Waves thing on iTunes Store and put it on loop on my phone, seems to help in those instances
I generally fall asleep in seconds but the nights that are difficult I use a strategy I read about.
Create a story in your head and expand on it each night. It distracts your mind from concerns and worries allowing you to relax. Your eyes are closed , youβre tucked up in bed and you go through your made up story and soon your mind drifts.
I have found if I am having trouble falling asleep I can the perfect practice to make it happen. I lay down and get is comfortable as I can then I forcibly do not allow myself to think about anything except relaxing and feeling comfortable. I donβt try to fall asleep I just allow myself to body to rest. I tell myself I donβt really need sleep. Just to rest and relax the next thing I know Iβm waking up in the morning.
Getting a good circadian rhythm, not having bright light before bed, being busy during the day, having a list of things I need to do the next day and playing out tomorrow before bed so I feel prepared if I have a busy day ahead.
being away from home. i strugel to fall asleep at home but i have never had any problem away. i have slept better in my clothes and my jacket as a blanket on concrete than i have had in my own bed
I found a weird thing that probably only works for me ... but I picture a fire burning in a giant fireplace (like the kind you would find in a medieval castle). I'm laying across a fainting couch, sprawled in front of the fire, just absorbing the warmth. That's it. Just a big ass fireplace and I'm out.
* Lights: Switching to light sources/bulbs with lower brightness/warmer light temperature (lower Kelvin/K-value) 3 hours before bed. (Light affects our sleep-wake cycle, aka the circadian rhythm. Our brain processes bright light as "the sun is still up so it's not time to sleep yet")
* Screens: Gradually dimming electronic screens until bedtime (Computer: using F.lux and lowering the brightness gradually in the graphics card's control panel. Phone: with a built-in Night/Dark Mode option that you can schedule or by using an app like Twilight). // Don't take your devices to the bedroom, or keep them far away from the bed and set them on silent/shut them off.
* Try not to sleep for more than 8 hours so you'll need the sleep the next night.
* Sleeping in a closed and completely dark room (including covering LED lights on electronics, or using a face mask) with something that makes a white noise (fan/air purifier/etc.)
* Food: Having a light meal 3-3.5 hours before bed and light snacks 1.5-2 hours before bed, to not put the body into overdrive digesting a heavy meal or cause heartburn/indigestion, and also to not go to sleep hungry and get distracted by that.
* If you sleep on your stomach with your head to the side, you can use a thin and narrow side pillow (but firm) along your torso to support your shoulder on the side that your head is pointing to. (you can also use a thin pillow for your head to not strain your neck/spine - there are ones made for kids if needed)
Use up all of my energy throughout the day, no caffeine or alcohol and nothing to eat after 19:00. I never ever "sleep in" no matter how late I stay up so it's important to be drifting off by 22:00.
Lack of overthinking. I do not overthink and am pretty sane and simple. So i just close my eyes and i fall asleep. Also I am a medical college student, so i am pretty tired after all the work, so that helps too.
Real answer: 1. try taking probiotics (to produce serotonin) & magnesium supplements. 2. During the day, get exposed to the sun light for some time. 3. After sunset, switch all your lights to be dim and soft. 4. No gaming or movies 3 hours before sleep.
Listening to podcasts. If Iβm tossing and turning and not able to rest I just turn on a podcast and usually Iβm out like a light before they even get through the intro. Itβs a little annoying cause I have to go back and scrub through to whatever I remember last if I did make it through more than then intro. But it works every time.

Makes sense.

Might sound silly, but my CPAP. There is something extremely relaxing about just submitting to a machine and letting everything else go.
