Sleeping. Something I struggle to do. I’m that person that takes about an hour to wind down then another to fall asleep. My process on weekends is to watch videos and calm myself down for an hour to an hour-and-a-half, then I put my phone down without charging it for some reason. I start thinking about random things to dream about but that never works. Next, I close my eyes and think about other things.
With my eyes closed I start to imagine myself as the main person in different but realistic world and start to play it all out. I normally think of things that include flying and super-suits.
Stupidly, I’m still awake and have no choice about it. I next open my eyes sadly realize my fantasies could never happen. Next, I think of something a LITTLE more realistic, like sitting in a super comfortable chair and eating snacks given to me by waiters, after getting straight A’s in school.
After all that is done, I realize that I’ve spent the last hour and a half doing all of this. I then think about something that could actually happen, like I fall while walking to class at school and get humiliated. I then fall asleep and dream of nothing that I previously thought about. I dream that my day has been compressed into about 10 minutes.
Overall, it takes a long time for me to go to sleep every night. I don’t want to do all of that, but know if I don’t, I won’t be able to fall asleep.
Read a book, my friend - I assure you - no laptop no screens, just pages of paper!
This is good advice. I've had insomnia most of my life, and stopping screen time before bed helps, and reading a book is one of the best things I've found to help wind down.
Start in a chair - you will feel your eyes go a bit - repair to bed for the next chapter and ..... . ... .. . .!
I will try. I have a new book to read "The Giver"

I eat chocolate moments before bed so I have sweet dreams. ^^
That is clever.
