Hello Mark, I think itβs a brave thing to do to write a post in here about your very personal vulnerabilities. And it seems that you donβt want to give up on life if you want some help and accept help from others. Stay close to the small things you appreciate in life instead of keep focusing on the negative things. I know it seems tough and it is. But every small little step to the right direction, that countsβ¦
Are you sleepyy?! How do you fall asleep?!

@simron-persaud same π
-
@Selenaa I love sleep as well, but I don't always fall asleep right away... :see_no_evil: The fan, never heard that one! Noice!
-
@Eucalyptus lmao i sleep for like 12+ hours usually every day
-
@Cybernatic I actually classically conditioned myself with the smell... If I smell it now it is kinda soothing... Before I had the tea I took valerian root pills to help me sleep and because they worked so well in calming me down, I started to love the smell, somehow......
-
@Selenaa Whoa, okay, I don't sleep thΓ‘t much :see_no_evil: :zzz:
-
Oh yessss, i drink a cup of Rooibos teaβΊβΊβΊ, i cant just fall asleep lmaoo, thats impossible

When I can't sleep I use a Navy method that's quite effective.
Lay on your back and look left, then center, then right. Try to remember what you can see as you're looking, then close your eyes and look in those directions again while visualising in your head what you saw. This should work pretty quickly, the point of it is to reinforce that nothing in your environment has changed and your brain will slip into shutting down for the night.

also, I don't like to sleep but i like to be in bed
-
@Nevaeh-Botello the question is, what method is effective for you to fall asleep?
-
@Nevaeh-Botello oh I lΓ³ve to sleep π΄
-
@Eucalyptus oh my bad I did not know

It says usage of electronic devices before bed delays your body's internal clock aka your circadian rhythm which suppresses the release of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin and makes it absolutely difficult to fall asleep so I usually set my phone aside and try to meditate for 15 minutes straight.
If that doesn't work (in most cases it does unless something's bothering me deep down) I count unicorns in my head and soon enough, I'll be snoring like a baby :face_with_tears_of_joy:
