I rarely have that problem. My problem is I can sleep anytime! Always tired.

I just found a very interesting little "life hack". It's called 4-7-8. You inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds and then exhale for 8 then repeat. It's supposed to help fall asleep easier. I tried it and it really seems to do the trick. I tried it myself and it worked. For me if I really can't start to fall asleep I have to go the heavy sleeping pills route. 😏

Melatonin works really well for me - all natural, non- habit forming.

Avoid any stimulating activity after 6pm. I am a great proponent of meditation practice. You don't have to become a Buddhist to benefit from the concepts of mindfulness, or meditation practice. Before I got into Buddhism, I tried pranayama, a Hindu breathing meditation to help with relaxation, sleep and pain.

I just lay in my bed and close my eyes that is a good way of meditating and having a conversation with the Lord, go around your home and find something to do that you put off doing. Last but not lease READ YOUR BIBLE find something that deals with SICKNESS AND PATIENCE IT WORKS.
