Need any sleep tips you all might have. Insomnia is off the charts and I too much to do this week - and need some sleep!!! Sleep meds so far haven’t worked, the PM-over-the-counter stuff doesn’t work, Benadryl doesn’t work, melatonin gives me bonkers nightmares! Is there anything that helps any of my fellow insomniacs fall asleep? Thank you!
@Jacque Have you tried the 4-7-8 routine? Works for me...
- Inhale as you count from 1 to 4
- Hold your breath as you count from one to 7
- Exhale slowly while counting from 1 to 8.
- Repeat, repeat, repeat...
There is also a military routine of focusing on relaxing your body, section by section slowly. Start at your head and move down or feet and move up. Focus intently on each part as it relaxes.
Works for me also...
Let me know how you do!
Wishing you 😴
