well I had suffered for years of strong insomnia, Sleeping only when I would lose conciouness at the end of several days without sleep.
Here are a few things that helped me in order of effectiveness.
#1: The good method, I used to think that to sleep I had to empty my mind but actually that kept me awake, the true method is to let your mind wander freely without restraints. follow it as far as it goes without pushing it nor preventing it.
#2: go to bed at the same time everynight and wake up at the same time everymorning, This will allow your sleep cycle to establish itself and be constant
#3: Keep your bedroom a calm place. Avoid any stressful activity in your bedroom especialy in your bed so that when you get there it is associated with calm and rest
#4: keep your bedroom a clean place, Make sure it’s clean, ordered and well maintained. The simple fact of the pants you wore today laying on the ground beside your bed may keep you worrying.
Also, if you have like me night fears (you sudently get scared without reason in the middle of the night) do not feel ashamed to open a light and look around your room, you may as well keep a flashlight beside your bed, If anyone ask and you don’T want to tell the truth you can say that it’s in case of if the electricity goes out.
I hope you can get good sleep soon, I know what kind of pain it is. sleep is very important and very enjoyable when you get it. Good night
