How do you get to sleep when?

How do you get to sleep when you can't sleep? It's 1:42am and I have to be up at 7, how can I get to sleep?

Pick up some melatonin, 5mgs fast dissolve, by Natrol. Tired in 5 minutes, asleep in 20. Maybe a bit longer, sometimes. Really, all you need is 1mg, probably. I bite or separate them in quarters or halves. It's like 4 bucks for a 90 day supply, or a year's supply if you quarter them. It's a natural supplement--your brain naturally releases this chemical when the lights go out--so it doesn't have all the bullshit side effects of prescription medication, and it works pretty much the same: without the hang over.

Reading will do it. At least, if the book isn't amazing. If you read an amazing book, then it will keep you up...-___-;;

Don't be active, at all. Try to avoid phones and computers, because that will tell your brain that it's still daytime.

I also listen to some ASMR or light, nonvocal music on YouTube. That helps with racing thoughts. My brain has something to focus on, instead of telling me, "Hey, you know how you fucked up everything today? That was kinda like 5 years ago. Hey! I have a good idea, let's remember all the depressing things that you've fucked up! :D"

Watch a boring video/movie, that normally puts me to sleep, or listen to slow music, classical music is normally very relaxing, but I'd recommend to keep away from the internet because otherwise you'll just keep yourself entertained looking at stupid things

[Gabby21924]

Good point, should probs get off here then lol

[Opinion Owner]

Yes you should! xD

[Margo7]

I just focus on sleeping and try to clear my mind of other thoughts that keep me awake.

[Gabby21924]

I should probs try that, I've had a bit on my mind lately

[Margo7]

It helps to just focus on breathing. Because then it takes your mind off of other things.

You have been on GAG for so long. I think you should just drink a glass of water and lie down on bed and try keeping yourself calm.

[Rawrzz]
