The one singular thing that helped me get back to sleep yesterday /this morning at 4 am. I tried so many damn things (writing in a notebook, drinking hella water, eating a snack, drinking milk, breathing exercises) and then realized if this didnt work I was a lost cause. Of course this worked. Ediyasmr knocks me outtt and puts me into a deep relaxation state before doing so.

I had this same problem a few months ago. It was so bad I only had 1-2 hours of sleep for weeks. I had to completely reassess my āsleeping hygieneā. Below are things I tried and some youāve probably heard before.
Avoid being on your phone like 1-2 hours before bed. Something with the blue light or stimulation keeps you awake.
Avoid caffeine before bed (would say like 4 hours before).
Donāt eat a huge meal before bed.
Create a relaxing bedroom environment. Make sure your pillow and bed is comfy. Turn off all the lights.
Sleep with a humidifier and nose strip, helps with avoiding mouth breathing and gives me a good DEEP sleep.
Wear a sleep mask, the total darkness helped lull me to sleep immediately.
Comfortable sleeping clothes (if applicable) I usually wear cotton clothes to sleep or satin.
A weighted blanket can also help.
Magnesium drink/tea instead of melatonin can relax your muscles and put you to sleep.

- green noise. objectively better than any other noise. just knocks me out, plus gives you much deeper sleep. hereās my favourite.
- lectures on something youāre not even remotely interested in. for me itās physics.
- asmr ?? i dunno, i like it.
- breathing fresh air. nothing like a bit of fresh air for a city person. weāre all oxygen deficient.
- meditation. i love Medito (itās on appstore and google play) meditations.
not sleeping sucks, hope you get better soon!

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I canāt get this thought (truth) out of my head ā hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didnāt before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now Iām 24/7 yapping about menstruation/womenās health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

I liked finding out that this is a word/thing cuz I totally relate. I just love (going to or hosting) events (apartment housewarmings, dj sets, dinners, breakfasts, movie nights, whatever it may be..). if it's a thing that's happening and I'm with/inviting friends, it's An Event idc!
