How do you make yourself sleep when you can’t seem to get to sleep?

Try closing your eyes for 10mins without thinking so much and drink something before you do it

 

Usually just relax... yeah.

 

You have to make a conscious effort to feel your muscles from your head to your toes relax. Be aware of your body and you wanting it to relax, that usually starts making you a bit more tired. I also used to listen to like these sleep hypnosis vids on youtube, but those may not work for everyone

 

Usually when I can't fall sleep I find the cool side of the pillow to put my head down on, weird but it usually works. The colder side of the pillow distracts me from my own thoughts and makes me concentrate on the awareness of the feeling

 

I like to listen to songs that I enjoy while I sit in bed. Then, after about 2 songs, I go to bed. It works for me because I don't get excited about the songs.

 

Meditation , warm milk and listening to Zelda OST music

 

I just stay awake and make my time useful until I feel sleepy, if I can't sleep rather than try to force myself to sleep.

 

i stay up late until i can't anymore. there was a point in my life where i could stay up until 2 in the morning every morning and wake up at 8 or 8:30, but i get sleepy sooner nowadays but i can still pack a punch

 

I will just roll around on my bed until i fall asleep.

 

I will daze the dark .....!!!

 

I just listen to music if I can't sleep or even if I can. I also love the sound of a fan or something like that. If the room is cold and I have a big blanket its also easier.

 

I think seasons can play a huge role in your sleep cycle.

In the winter, I think it's easy to sleep. You just keep your room cold, so then you're forced to wrap yourself in a blanket, but then it's hard to get up because you just want to stay in bed. In the summer, it's harder to sleep, because you're just sweating at night; so when it's summer time, I sometimes just turn on the ceiling fan.
