Sleep difficulty is due to the complexity and speed of our lives
The best solution is to stay away from routine
Thanks for sharing.
This is difficult enough for your mind to stop thinking about other "problems", that are on your mind and needs to think about right now, and prevents from going to sleep. At the same time it is boring enough to get to sleep after some counts.
HEY HEY HEY!
I have a few suggestions for this matter if you mind. Meditation is always the great place to start. Breathing is life, breathing is everything. It will silence your mind.
But I have a suggestion for you. For me to fall asleep needs about 20 seconds. Doing so, you need to balance yourself. About anxious mind, read the book called "present moment", it will give you deeper insight into your mind and body functionality.
Another thing is exercise. Beat your body until you can't get out of your bed. Your body has inteligence. Watch Elliot Hulse for that matter.
But most powerfull thing I sugest and I been doing this for 3 years is WHM method. Your life would be changed from the roots.
It consist of breathing techniques, exercises, meditation, and cold exposure. You will influence by will your immune system, cardio-vascular system, hormonal system, muscular system and every system in your body by will.
You will never be sick again, because of the influence of the immune system and voluntarily changing your adrenal level. You will be able to regulate your STRESS hormon by WILL which is called CORTISOL.
Your performance would be supernatural because of the influence of your PH level in your brain by will. Recent studies shown, that low level oxygen in your body produces anxiety, panic attacks, and all other psychiatric syndroms. And by doing this brething technique you will be able to regulate your PH level in real time... that is power, it will give you power of a superhuman.
Stimulating your nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system, will triger all kinds of hormons in your body, dopamin(FOR SLEEP), srotonin happy hormon and maletonin. You will be able to control that.
Exposing your self gradualy to the cold, you will be able to control your adrenal level and cortisol level. Adrenalin will go sky high and cortisol low. It will affect depression and you will feel good and happy.
So much things it will do for you, this is just a tip of the iceberg.
After ice cold bath you will sleep like a baby. Like me lol. It stimulates Vagus nerve and that is the story for it-self. Medicine is not reached there yet, but now stydiying this method, medicine are rewriting books because of this.
Check out the Wim Hof crazy dude and just breathe. All the best!
farming and house chores beat the energy out of me and as you say, when the body does not have the energy left, sleep comes early. I will also check out the breathing method. I am a dementia caretaker and stress is high. I do not want to lose my beans. God bless
My mind has historically wondered at nights as well. My wife falls asleep in like 30 seconds meanwhile it takes me hours. The best thing I did to start falling asleep faster was to start going to bed at a consistent time every night even when I wasn’t sleepy. This has started to reprogram my brain to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. This has helped me substantially. Thanks for the post!
I can only fall asleep on my belly with my head to the left. I fall asleep very fast but I wake up often....any remedy for that? Does meditation will help in this situation too?
Well... it kind of depends on why you are waking up. Do you perhaps have a bad habit of stopping breathing during the night (like myself)? If so then your belly position is one of the better positions to be in - but you may want to look into getting your sleep tested.
Sleep apnea can easily rob a person of a third of their effective sleep each night. If this is not you and you have no snoring issue then 'belly with head to the side' is also similar to the 'recovery position' - and perhaps experimenting with other sleep positions might help.
Man did you know that by falling asleep by this way you could easily acced to lucids dreams? and these dreams are friking AMAZING I CAN TELL YOU!!
at place in your head where doesnt exist any law of pisique and the only limit is your imagination, that's what happen when you can control yours dream.
if you do this tech to fall asleep for sure you know what a lucid dream is , so ... i would lovee to hear any history of these kind of dreams hahah !
There's also a technique called 4-7-8 that's supposed to work well.
Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound. Close your mouth and inhale quietly through your nose to a mental count of four. Hold your breath for a count of seven. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
I like to imagine potatoes of all different preparation techniques, but mostly dirty, brown, boring, raw russets falling from the sky, and into the bowls, and gently bouncing onto the carpet, and then suddenly I realize that my bed is a warm baked potato, and I am but a cute little pad of butter nestled up against a cool li'l dollop of sour cream, ever so slowly, yet ever so surely, melting.. into a deep, delicious sleep.

There is another hack on how to calm the Mind.
Count from 1-10 and then back from 10-1.

I'll definitely give this a try today :)
I will try also!

I have tried meditation, pills, exercise, changing my eating habits ... seems my anxiety just won't let me sleep no matter what I do.
What I need to try next is those weighted blankets, but they are pretty expensive to purchase and even more to deliver to Canada :(
Give this a try, it is amazing how effective and simple it is.

This works for me, also reading boring text books will make you sleepy as well, just like listening to a boring class. :o
Thank you so much for share!

Amazing picture!
Often I will get tired in the evening and sometimes start to fall asleep but when i try to sleep in my bed it can be impossible to fall asleep.
