May not work for you… but for me:
\n– Keep it really dark, quiet and cool
\n– Drink plenty early in the evening, not much later
\n– Empty your mind: write a list of everything that you're thinking about, decide whether anything is so urgent it can't wait until tomorrow (pretty rarely, in my case)
\n– Try binaural beats. I like Ennora, but there are lots, including free apps
\n– Are you breathing freely through your nose? If not, try a saline spray like Sterimar
\n– If you don't fall asleep after 20 minutes, use your time to meditate instead – you may find it easier to fall asleep afterwards, and if not, then it was time well spent \ud83d\ude00
\nIf any of these help, please tell someone else! And if the problem is serious, check out Matthew Walker on sleep – loads of good ideas there. Hope this helps!
