Also do you often think too much when trying to sleep?

My bedroom is fine, and it is plain in a good way. I am very comfortable at night. Often I have a lot of thoughts in my mind when I first get in bed, but then they go away after a half-hour or so.

Maybe you just need to clear your mind? I go to bed and think about things (like gifts I want ) for hours. If not, I'll often toss and turn in my bed constantly. I have been having trouble sleeping recently, and discovered that I have to get comfy by sleeping in strange positions like being in a ball or having my legs dangling off the bed.

I've tried clearing my mind, except trying to keep other thoughts from entering my mind stops me from going to sleep.

I've tried the weirdest positions in bed, and most of the time they make me feel unconfortable or the same as normal, which doesn't help.

Ok, I understand. What about listening to something? Not music, but a repetitive sound... I got to sleep much faster with the humming of my fan. It seems air conditioners make me go to sleep.

Nah, the man makes it worse. Most sounds like that keep me awake.

*sigh* this is hard.

Have you tried reverse blinking? That used to make me fall asleep within the hour. Although it no longer works for me...

I've tried it before, except I'm not sure if I was doing it right. Thanks for reminding me about it; I'll try it tonight.
