I can recommend a trick that always works for me. Its REM mimic with eyes closed laying down. If requested ill describe. Further
It takes 7 minutes for the average person to fall into a REM sleep cycle. Thats 420 seconds. Deep breath counting backward from 420 eyes closed trace the numbers 420 to 0. If you are still awake switch to the alphabet a to z (lower case) trace with your eyes while eyes closed. If you r still "awake reverse the pattern either trace z to a (uppercase) or 0 to 420. Deep breath the entire time maybe alternate tracibg a 1 b2 c3 etc. Just keep going until your asleep. Wont be long. Goodnight.

@exchrist thatโs a lot of mathing for me ๐คฃ
exchrist ยท 31-35
@Wallflow3r counting is alot of mathing? Ok. Count sheep?
And the alphabet Isnt math at all. If you prefer to not sleep or to spend money on "sleep aids" thats your choice. You could just read while in bed or play sudoku. Those are equivalent to the procedure i described.

Sorry your going through this; those periods are tough. Google the 478 method. It's not infallible but it's certainly helped.

I will try that

If you figure out how please let me know. I haven't slept in days

@Cigarguy101 that's strange.
Do you have anxiety by chance?
The above can help kinda, but long term I'd recommend CBT if you do.

try this
lay down (obviously)
take long, slow, deep breaths (you can count them if you want)
ask yourself, "I wonder what I will think of next"
and wait for thoughts to enter your head
when a thought comes in, dismiss it
do not entertain it
let it go
keep breathing deeply
let me know what happens

Well, you need to clear your mind, remove all distractions (naturally), and then and only then focus on one thing at a time until you fall asleep. Your wish has been granted.

@MarkPaul its so hard not to over think at night Iโm going through so much..
MarkPaul ยท 26-30, M
@Wallflow3r Yeah, but that is what you need to work on... if you want a deep and restorative sleep. All those things you are going through will be waiting for you when you wake-up, so you don't have to worry about that.
