I love to play music before sleeping and usually is on my cellphone. What would you suggest to do instead?

Sit with yourself for a while. Write down what happened with you today, analyze the events, then write down what you learned and what you accomplished, even if it was small. Do not forget to write a list of things you are grateful for.

Whilst it is still on your cellphone i find asmr to be a great way to relax before and during sleep but if you do not want to use your cellphone i reccomend herbal or chai tea and a book or you can drink while writing a journal or diary entry. Hope this helps!

You can still listen to music! If you have an iPhone you can go to alarm and put how ever much time you want but instead of a ringtone press on “stop playing” and the music will automatically stop playing

Music before sleep is fantastic. Just make sure it isn’t to upbeat. You want something to start to slow your mind e.g. relaxing music, guide meditation or even a sleep meditation then it won’t matter if you drift off to sleep. Possibly a evening journal is a way of documenting something that you are grateful for, something positive that has happen during the day. This set you up to going to sleep on a happy note. If something wasn’t quite right put that to bed as there is no use having internal dialogue with yourself.

Instead of playing music on my cell phone, I usually write a letter for my future self every night. Then, I will stretch my body for good sleep. (Playing music is a great idea, it reduces stress) Thanks for asking, I am glad to answer your question!

I suggest us to maybe read a book 📖 or maybe go to the toilet 🚻 to pee because you might pee in your bed 🛌 and your mom will be sick of it of changing it all the time so maybe if it doesn’t work you can just wear a diaper 😉🤭😊😇 or the last thing to do which is the best thing to do is to just SLEEP 💤 😴 cause you don’t want to waste any more time to have a long nice sleep before SCHOOL cause school is super early but some school starts late not fast and mine fast it is at 7:00 😐 and some might be at 6:00 but good thing that is not me but I want my school to start at 1:00pm 😉

Create a Playlist that you LOVE, a Playlist that you don’t want to skip any song. Another thing you can do is to put your phone on a very dim lighting and I’m pretty sure most phones have blue light filters so you can put that on at night time aswell

well, i dont know. i listen to song before sleeping too, sometimes, but its nott good for your health. U can play songs on your computer and set your computer to shut down automatically, if u know what i mean. or u can try to start reading books before sleep, it can sometimes be really tiring and relaxing in one moment and after that u will sleep well, because your brain will be relaxed and tired. and it’s also a good idea not to look at your phone for an hour before sleeping<33

I like to listen to music but not before I go to bed it keeps me up more and have more energy in the night when I try to get sleep to wake up in the morning and study for school but on the weekends it don’t get quietness in my house everyone is u and loud when I try to get sleep

I suggest you find a sound making machine and use it instead of your phone. If this doesn’t work out, you can still listen to music on your phone, just have a time limit around 1 hour before bed. Using your phone can be very tempting before going to sleep, but will have negative consequences on you the next day. Please try putting your phone on Do Not Disturb mode and read a book. Hopefully this helps you! If it did, glad I could help you, have a blessed day!
