Exercise during the day if you can manage, blue light counteracting filters on electronics, reduce stimulation, yin yoga for sleep videos on YouTube, YouTube white noise videos or running a fan when going to sleep. Yogi Tea also makes this incredible sleep tea

Magnesium supplements can be super helpful for me—I take a little bit over the recommended dosage. Magnesium glycinate would probably be best if you want to avoid digestive upset from that and it’s the most bioavailable form of magnesium.
Yogi tea makes a soothing caramel bedtime tea that used to put me out like a LIGHT. It tastes kind of nasty if you drink it without milk because of the herbs and the stevia but the sleepy effect of hot milk (dairy or otherwise) compounds the effects.
I’m sure you exercise but if I’m not exercising regularly enough at the end of the day I have way too much energy that I haven’t expended and my brain spins like a hamster on a wheel.
Doing some kind of guided sleep meditation in leg up the wall pose can be really relaxing. Reading something really boring can also help something about the movement of the eyes combined with the dull subject matter does it for me. I’ve also read that if you’re having trouble sleeping it’s best to get out of bed because it creates associations of being unable to sleep with being in bed which is like not good.
I use a blue light blocker on devices in the evening which is built into iPhones and Mac computers now as the night shift function. ALSO try white or brown noise whenever on YouTube or using a sleep machine and do the typical sleep hygiene stuff—try to avoid screens before bed, make sure your room is dark, etc. hopefully some of this helps 💖

Like in Calm chews or capsules, taken at 9 pm (see what time that has you fall asleep). Or magnesium in your bath, if a bath relaxes you anyway. Then do a quick vagal tone exercise routine once in bed - it’s crazy how it works, totally thought it was BS until I tried it. And be sure to go OUTSIDE to get sunlight by 10am every day (I’m bad about this, but even going later is better than none).

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
