We tell ourselves the same thing. but 30 seconds to fall asleep, i’m jelaous
I use sleep stories. Just willing my brain to shutdown is not enough for me. I need the distraction. Most nights I don’t make it more than about a minute into the sleep story.
You can also keep a notebook on your nightstand to write stuff down. That way you know you won’t forget about it in the morning and you can stop thinking about it
Navy seals use a method where you elevate your legs a bit, pillow would work. I combine that with a military technique where you start at the top and work down, relaxing each body part…. Shoulders relaxed, right arm, left arm, hips, etc. by the time you consciously put each “to sleep” you’ll fall asleep. It’s hard to explain but it helps a lot. The last part is to count backwards from 100. By the time I’m at 60 I’m asleep, usually.
Moreover, the pillow between or under the legs really helps.
I have jurassic park rain soundscapes playing every night – started a couple of years ago to help with tinnitus. So that helps a fair bit. Also:
I plan out how I would spend my lottery winnings. The compound I would build, the buildings, the cars, the dinner where I tell my friends and family they don’t have to work anymore. How I would invest the money. Real estate, bitcoin. The workshop, a bar with a large stage. Studios & equipment. Amphitheatres. The works. The tale doesn’t change much but I’m out like a light within a few minutes.
To be clear I don’t have a realistic expectation of winning the lottery (I don’t even buy tickets, haven’t done for years) – but the thought exercise works for me. It used to keep me sane when I worked night shifts as a cleaner.
Terry needs his whale sounds…
I have seen a trick the military do which you sleepon your back and close your eyes obviously. and the try to relax your muscles including your face muscles to the furthest you can which is going to help
I understand not everyone may be able to do this everyday, but a light 30~ min workout everyday did wonders to help me fix not just insomnia but also my quality of sleep. Even something as simple as a bike ride, or a jog for that amount of time, with some simple pushups/squats and body weight exercises.
Ok, sure. That may work for some. My trick – which annoys my wife of thirty something years – is that I never lie down in bed unless I’m clearly, demonstrably, tired. I go to bed when I know I’m ready to sleep. Some nights, sure, I’m up late. But I don’t toss and turn. Or lie there playing mind games.
But if I do that, then I won’t think about how I told the waitress I hope she enjoys her meal as well.
I just stay up until I pass out
I had serious problems sleeping. I found concentrating on my breathing helped. I’m asleep inside 5 minutes now
I have four “crutches” that I use to sleep:
– A pillow between my knees.
– Wave sounds that play on a loop all night. I have a Bluetooth alarm clock that plays from my iTunes playlist. The tracks I use are Dan Gibson’s Solitudes “Rolling Surf on Pebbled Beach” and “Sweeping the Sandy Shore”. I like them because they are so calm, the wave rhythm mimics deep, calm breathing, and they are around 30 minutes long, so there aren’t any quick or abrupt changes.
– A hot water bottle at my feet.
– a 3-D eye mask (the kind that doesn’t touch your eyelids)
