What do you do prior to bed ?

Phone/ computer?

TV

The reason I ask is many people have horrible sleep hygiene which can and will totally screw up your ability to sleep.

No electronics 2 hours before bed

No tv

No reading . Altho War and peace ...27 lb book might help you to sleep just to avoid reading that door stop. lol

Listen to soothing music nature and yoga are usually best

Soothing tea

Take a shower or bath which helps settle your mind, essential oils , I prefer vanilla and sandal wood . Do not use activating ones like any citrus etc

Even if your unable to sleep make yourself stay horizontal for at least 6 hours, often it's so boring you might actually go to sleep.

Hopefully you find something to help you sleep
