Then I lie down and listen to some relaxing music. Something with repetitive mantras or affirmations is good to keep my mind from wandering.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sarah B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tell myself a story I enjoy. I have to be careful not to pick a super exciting one so I don&#39;t stay up to think the whole thing though. A happy image works too!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Insha C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I used to have a hard time sleeping because whenever I used to go bed my mind used to be filled up with a whole lotta things or several emotions, and for a reason I couldn&#39;t stop thinking. The thing that helped me the most was to have a productive night routine as it makes us more tired so we can sleep faster without things going in our head. Maybe read a book jam to your favorite music , bascially do anything that gets you more tired . Also make a to-do list so your brain is decluttered<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mille P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find having a notebook near is helpful. For those random nights when I just can&#39;t turn off, it&#39;s usually something I have missed during the day that has disrupted my equilibrium, not dealt with or &#39;put to bed&#39;.<br \/>\nI find writing down what&#39;s on my mind in that moment usually reveals the block to switching off.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sarah C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, the answer is; I don\u2019t. My mind is constantly thinking. I\u2019m a bit of an over-thinker. One might tell their self \u201c I\u2019m not good at falling asleep fast\u201d or, \u201c I think to much and I can\u2019t help it.\u201d Well, the trick is to NOT THINK LIKE THAT! You would be surprised of how positive thinking can affect you. But it helps to do this:<br \/>\n#1 do a relaxing body scan. Do it slowly too.<br \/>\n#2 lie on your back, put your hands on your belly, and take a few deep breathes.<br \/>\n#3 imagine you\u2019re on your bed, but in the middle of an ocean. You\u2019re drifting, the waves are carrying you to shore. Keep drifting, until you just don\u2019t anymore. If you\u2019re still awake, then just think. Don\u2019t worry, think.<br \/>\nSweet dreams! \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude34<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebekah N.
