Answer #1

when I cant sleep I either read before bed or I think about what I’ve done during the day or what im going to do tomorrow.

Or if I REALLY cant sleep I go to boring myself to sleep by going through the alphabet and thinking of 10 names begining with each letter…usually fall asleep before H lol

Answer #2
  1. Get up at the same time each day no matter how tired you feel - even on the weekends.
  2. Wake up with 30 minutes of mild to moderate exercise, preferable in morning sunlight.
  3. Create a conducive sleeping environment - quiet, comfortable, cool and dark.
  4. Begin a relaxing pre-bedtime routine at least 20 minutes before bedtime to wind down in preparation for sleep.
  5. If you do wake up at night and are awake for more than 15 minutes, get up, go somewhere quiet and write down any thoughts. Return to bed when you feel the next wave of tiredness - they occur every 90 minutes or so and may only last 5 minutes.
  6. Cut back on nicotine, Avoid Caffeine six hours before bedtime, and don’t drink alcolol.
