This hits hard for me. There have been too many nights where I am just lying in bed with my mind racing. I’ve tried breathing techniques, meditation, the whole book. Doesn’t work for me, and I am left with taking delayed release melatonin pills.

I’ve started listening to audio books. I usually only make it about 15-20 mins before I fall asleep.

Have you tried listening to meditations? I wasn’t sure if you were talking about self guided or not.

I sometimes find listening to a 30 minute guided meditation knocks me out. It’s like giving my brain permission to turn off.

I was raised in a buddhist family, so I tried following what I learnt in terms of meditation. It’s been a while, I might try that again.
