What do you do when you can't sleep?
| When I can't sleep I try to conect random words and keep my mind busy, so eventually I'm gonna be more tired and fall asleep, vetter than have a blank mind

Have you tried focusing on your breathing, or consciously relaxing you body from head to toe? That always helps me a bit. Also try to limit caffeine intake and establish a bedtime routine if you haven't already.

Not sure about you but keeping my mind busy only makes me more awake. Blanking out, or at least just letting my thoughts flow without direction usually helps me sleep more.
Like, I'd imagine a ball dropping and I'll just let it drop. If my mind wants to put obstacles, water, change colour, whatever, I let it do them. Telling it what to imagine just make me more awake.
| I just do stuff (like watch/read/play something on my phone) until I practically pass out. Sleep like shit afterwards, but otherwise ic I just try to go to sleep like a normal person I just get super anxious and sometimes even have panic attacks. Prolly should do smth with that. Yeah.
| Kombucha helps. Or like really weak coffee, or tea. Sometimes I try to concentrate on patterns in the blackness when I close my eyes.
| ur mom
lol got em :dab:
| I am fap
| I noticed the color red helps me fall asleep, I've since then painted my room red with my computer screen when I need to sleep, apparently blue light keeps you awake too so I've minimized things that were illuminating blue as well.
| Pretend to be a calculator trying to do lots of complex calculator stuffs with 1% battery left.
| Music! Something chill and relaxing. Maybe some vaporwave or ambient stuff. It always works for me.

That sounds cyberpunk as heck
| not even kidding this works for my insomnia ~80% of the time. it works wonders.
Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds.
Hold it for 7 seconds.
Exhale out of your mouth for 8 seconds.
Repeat 3-4 times and zzzzzz
| aka the 4-7-8 rule.
| I do small exercises to wear myself out
| I just daydream. Let my imagination flow while listening to piano music or music box.
| I put on let's plays of bad games and fall asleep to that lmao

| The only way I can make myself sleep is by forcing myself to do it. Like I just lay down with my eyes closed for an hour or so then I finally sleep.
