Anyone who suffers from insomnia, something I learned that was revolutionary...

Don't lay down until you think you're ready to sleep. Don't even go into that room where you sleep until your ready to sleep. Stand. Don't sit or lay. Until you're ready to sleep. If that's not an option, sit on the floor on the side of your bed. Just not on your bed.

When you do lay down and it doesn't work, leave your bedroom. Or your bed and sit on the floor next to it. You gotta train your brain to associate your bed with sleeping and not anything else.

Understand that and half the battle is over.

    This is generally a good practice regardless of sleep disorders. I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow because i go to bed to sleep. I dont go to bed to scroll on my phone. I dont have a tv in my room. I will be on a couch or a chair until im done with phone/tv/games, then... instant sleep, and staying asleep all night.

    My wife is amazed by my ability to sleep, but she reads on her kindle and doom scrolls in bed for hours some nights

    Unfortunately I’m in a studio apartment atm so there really isn’t another room lol

    But yeah, I’ve hear these tips before. I’m sure if I actually followed them it would help, but… bed comfy UwU
