i have had insomnia on and off for years. i have tried acupressure, herbal tinctures, journaling, meditating, but nothing really helped consistently.

since my insomnia is usually from worrying, i felt what i needed was to be comforted, so when i can't fall asleep, i just use my hand to soothe myself, especially on areas that have bare skin exposed. i stroke my bare arms, hands, forehead, sides of my face, neck. this has worked for me. just thought i'd share.
