Re: Sleep, y/n?

[(Anonymous)]

:(

I'm not sure what all you have tried? I'm the anon who mentioned exercise above, but there are a couple other things I do to help me feel sleepy (or at least feel like I'm resting even if I can't sleep).

I notice that my lack of sleep ticks up when my anxiety is bad, so taking stock of whatever little stressors you have and trying to either eliminate them or manage them better can help a lot. Weirdly, cleaning my house more often has helped, so it can't nag at my brain at midnight when I'm too physically tired to bother. If you have any little things like this that give you anxiety, just forming better habits to manage them might help somewhat.

I also take a nice 20-minute bath fairly regularly, with dim lighting, usually about half an hour before I want to go to bed, so my body gets nice and relaxed. After that, I try to read something a little mind-numbing; I know a lot of people say avoid screens, etc., but I find that browsing dumb websites (random articles on Wikipedia or TV Tropes or... wherever) helps, because it's just enough to keep me from getting bored and trapped in my head without being enough to stimulate me like a novel would.

If you haven't tried meditation or breathing techniques, I'd suggest looking into them, but that's a pretty common recommendation, so you've probably heard it already.

Whatever works for you, I hope you find it! Good luck, OP.

If you have the kind of insomnia where your mind just wanders and won't shut up, I'd also recommend keeping a journal of what your mind wanders to? It won't help in the short term, but it might help you figure out if there's some underlying stress that's triggering your insomnia.
