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.
Read books you goobers. Puts me to sleep faster than anything.
This actually works well for me…
Same with my GF. Can’t really argue with the results.
YouTube video on audio only will put me right out
I once made the mistake of trying to do a few sketches. a tax return and 4 hours later I finally slept
“Here in my hands is a device containing all the information in the entire world. Guess I’ll look at a bunch of pictures of women with butt implants.”
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.
For me, reading a book or manga on my phone (tablet too heavy) works wonders.
Are you spying on me?
I had this exact thought right before I scrolled to it. Depending on my brain, I can either lay and go dead sleep, or if I’m racing ill pick up the phone or whatever. I just took my blind cat out to chase moths and I’m not in the mood to sleep. Maybe in a few min. -lemmy addiction
