What do you do if you can’t fall asleep?

Question

Last night I just couldn’t fall asleep.
I tried to go to sleep at midnight but couldn’t fall asleep until 3:00 am.
I got up three times and did things like walk outside and watch a few videos on YouTube.

This may have been because I got a espresso latte during my break at work at 3:00 pm earlier in the day or because I have been trying to go to sleep early so maybe I have just been adjusting.

I was hoping to go to the gym for a few hours before work but I can tell I don’t have the energy.

What you need is a calm and quiet mind. That you're getting up and going for walks or looking at YouTube suggests you've not relaxed.

You need to find something very simple that allows just enough concentration that your mind isn't thinking about other stuff, but isn't itself keeping you awake. Some folk read, and it helps. Others do easier crosswords. I personally have an app with suduko puzzles, I set it to the easiest level then do a few of those. It quiets the mind and allows me to drift off.

Turn off all lights in your bedroom, switch your phone to night mode (dimmer lights), then lay in bed, stretch your body parts starting from your toes one by one - hold each stretch for 10-20 seconds then relax and move up to other body parts. You’ll start feeling more relaxed eventually.
