I know when the body is tired but the mind is not and wont let you sleep. I try thinking about nice things in life and also try to relax my body, loosen the muscles. Normally this works for me.

Whats bothering your mind ?

Oh - this is horrible!!!

All tensed up in your mind, and your body craving sleep.... And you just end up worse or with a migraine.

I used to go walking.... Them come home, some Chocolate and then bed using asmr.

But we all find our own.

Now, what that crap means in real.life is;

There are things in.life each of us finds soothimg -
Textures
Smells
Sights
Sounds
Tastes.

These videos usually deal with sounds.
And there is a HUGE variety.

Personally I've found i like RAIN, fire crackling and weirdly enough, the ambient sound of a spaceship.

My daughter loves rhe sound of things tapping on wood, thunderstorms, and the sound of a man talking.

But, I found i'm a bit of a sound snob - took me half a day to find the right rain sounds - apparently i like RAIN against a window sound.

Anywho, to cut a.long story short - check them.out, yu.might find something yu like.
The sounds help.engage the mind.

Sometimes may play 2 or three at the same time
Snowstorm+fire+ ticking clock.
Another thing-

Theres so.much amazing music too.
People like Roald Velden, and Shingo Nakamura

The first does like chill progressive music ( amd some more uptempo)
I find soothimg music can just make me feel depressed when the energy of anxiety is present.
This stuff is sorta got a beat, but relaxing too.

Look up 'silk' music.

None of this may be your thing.



Also, there are videos of guided medication, find a voice ypu like - try it.
I didn't think it would work - o chose one on ' find your spirit guide😁 was thinking

This is rubbish, till later found myself waking up 2 hrs later, and realised i fell asleep about 20 minutes in, which is amazing for me.


And - one last thing - lavender.

We had friends when I was little that had a lavender farm.
Yoy were only allowed out in the fields for so long, coz pepple were known to drop if they stayed too long.

Idk - hope ypu find something that works.

Sometomes it's a multi pronged attack.
Eat this. Do that and listen to something.
Experiment 💜

In the past, I relied on alcohol. I'm determined not to in 2019 and so far, I don't have an answer. I'm hoping to find a balance over time.
@DoubleRings Yeah - the body build up a tolerance.

God - i should'nt say this, bit the secret is to cycle between different farms of sedative.
No more than 3 days on any one, and always try to alseep naturally first.
Use meds say if you've made it to midnight - No sleep Then resort to one.

They are way to easy to rely upon, then you build tolerance, then in two in years You're downing them.like lollies - and they still dont work.
@GlassDog we actuayNEED a degree ofstress in our lives
We are genetically wired that way.
Not enough - amd things like depression, and anxiety can kick in
Too much...and oddly enough, the same thing can happen.

And YES!!!

Heavy exercise a few Hours before is..
...an AWESOME way to get sleep.

Whether one can get off once ass to do it - that's am entirely different problem😁
@DoubleRings in honesty when I've gone about 5 days,with minimal sleep, i'll have 2 black Russians.
Works wonders.

Bit it's a case of balance.

I only alow myself two nights of a chemical indulgence before going back to other methods

But then, 2 nights does wonders.

I color in an adult coloring book or I read and that seems to help distract me from anxiety

Anxiety is linked to b vitamin deficiencies, barring PTSD or the likes. Nutritional yeast is a natural alternative to get them.

i have a B vitamin supplement maybe i will take them more @Peaceful

@DoubleRings probably synthetic which is hard for the body to assimilate. Look into nutritional yeast. It is delicious, tastes like cheese. I sprinkle it on all my veggies
I take Valium.
