What are your tips and tricks?

Question

When you can't sleep, what are your "go-to" tips and tricks?

Answer

Reading The Great Gatsby. I literally can't even get half a page through the darn book no matter how awake I am because it's SO DANG BORING.

Answer

I just would count from 100 backwards. Works every time. You start to get so sleepy and forget what number you're on so start over.

Answer

I can never sleep at night until at least 2am, unless I have a newborn. Then I can suddenly sleep any second at any time. So my truck is having a newborn. You'll be so exhausted you'll be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in 5 seconds!

Answer

ASMR videos, may seem weird at first but I watch them every single night. It helps me a lot

Answer

While pregnant, I just took melatonin. Not pregnant, I down a glass of wine 😂 or I take melatonin. Either/or lol

Answer

1. Progressive muscle relaxation
2. Focusing on your breath. When your mind wanders, bring your awareness back to your breath.

Answer

I use breathing techniques. For example, breathing in through nose for a count of 7 secs, holding for 7, exhale through nose for 7. You can vary the secs, i.e 5-6-7, but soon enough you'll be concentrating on the breathing, and eventually fall asleep.

Answer

Breathing slowly and deeply, listen to Beach House, turn on my salt lamp, spray lavender oil water on my pillow, and call my boyfriend.. cuz usually if I can't sleep, it's cuz my boyfriend isn't there

Answer

I listen to tapping/scratching/brushing asmr videos. Yes... some are a little weird... but the ones with no talking, and just brushy, tappy, sounds really distract my mind and lets me fall asleep

Answer

it depends if you're pregnant or not. If you arent currently pregnant, I'd suggest weed. I used to smoke weed before bed, and sleep like a baby at night. REM sleep every time.
