Every night when it's time for bed my husband hits the pillow and is asleep in seconds

Meanwhile, I'm awake most of the night thinking about pretty much anything that happened to me that day

Well, this one sounds very familiar because in my household

There's actually no need for a bed or a pillow my husband can fall asleep literally anywhere at any time

I think in the 10 years we've been together. He's made it all the way through maybe five movies total

Three in a theater and probably two at home on the couch. He will be talking and before he finishes his sentence

He will be snoring honestly. It is

Actually quite impressive. It's a skill I think as for your problem

I used to have the spinning brain that you do where I you know trying to fall asleep and I couldn't stop planning and analyzing and worrying about what's on my schedule

So here are some fixes that might help that did help me one

I'm trying to fall asleep and my brain is kind of spinning

I'll force myself to think about a happy memory and think about it in great detail

Where was I who was there what happened etc

Kind of takes my mind off whatever I'm stressing about and then hopefully slows it down enough to sort of fall asleep as you're thinking about something good

Maybe it'll also lead to nice happy memories and dreams

If not you can actually try a real true meditation right find a phrase or a sentence that's calming and repeat it slowly over and over in your head while focusing on not letting any other thoughts creep into your head

That's always good and if those don't work

Occasionally if I feel too wired right before bed. I'll take one melatonin pill now

Some people say they need way more than that. I can usually take one and it works like a charm
