Instead, keep a relaxing activity near your bed that you can reach for if you can&#8217;t sleep after 20 minutes or so. Some activities you might do could be reading, drawing, or coloring.

Something I like to do when I can&#8217;t sleep is color or read until my eyes start closing and I start feeling sleepy. I hope you sleep well and I love you \u2764\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaylee N.
