To distract myself and get away from negative thoughts, I play soothing/neutral music or listen to ASMR videos (especially the pampering role plays). Sometimes ASMR is like having a caring friend beside me, someone who can take me away from a vicious cycle of endless thoughts as I try to head towards sleep. Some of the soothing videos also put me to sleep more easily than if I were lying in the silence, listening to the jargon inside my head.

Why does it have to be like this!
I have a couple of mindfulness recordings by my therapist which sometimes helps me to get to sleep. Some night I simply can't bear listening to them though, so it's hit and miss? Thanks for the reply !
