Definitely stop scrolling social media! Its a dark hole.. you lose so much time and the white light from the phone makes you get a harder time trying to sleep! I always put my phone aside my bed with some relaxing music and i try to meditate and think about my day. This helps me to get a clearer mindset and helps me get anxious free (what makes me sleep easier)
Shower right before bed, tune down lights, put off phone and tablet. Maybe read something randomly (not a novel), hug my husband, turn on hatch white noise.
- DONT put your phone near your bed, that is a really big distraction for most people. - if any ideas or things you might want to do in the next following day come to your mind, keep a notepad and pencil beside your bed - try your best to clear any thoughts - this will help for some people; playing calming music (you can download the app calm) this will help settle your brain - during the day if you go outside a lot, you are more likely to have a better sleep. The fresh air will help. - sometimes the reason you can’t fall asleep is because your not in the right space for yourself to relax I hope this helps!!
Shut down all screens, notifications, and devices as least a half hour before bed. Give your brain a chance to relax and wind down!
