I'm out of my sleep medication and I'm struggling to fall asleep.
When I get my meds tomorrow I'm drinking them instantly, even if the sun is still up. I did some school work and now I'm typing this. 🙃

Try this from Andrew Haberman
Integrating side-to-side eye movements into a sleep routine
While not a core part of Huberman's main sleep protocols, you can incorporate this technique as an add-on if you're feeling anxious or wake up during the night.
Lie comfortably in bed in a dark room with your eyes closed.
Move your eyes slowly from side to side, back and forth, as if you are watching a ball or following your thumb.
Breathe slowly and deeply as you do this. Your inhales can be a normal length, and your exhales should be long and extended, which is a technique Huberman recommends to trigger the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system.
Repeat the movements and breathing until you feel your mind begin to quiet and drift off to sleep.
