Trying to cut back on the booze for my health but damn I'm realizing I have a hard time getting to bed without something in my system. A few nights I've had to just say fuck it and grab a few Modelo tall boys at the gas station just to shut up my own brain long enough to get to sleep.

Thing is once I do get to sleep I sleep way better but that's after hours of laying in bed trying to let myself drift off.

I've tried weed but I'm one of those people where there's a 50/50 chance weed will actually make it worse.

Extra sleepy time tea

Meleton

Militant sleep schedule

The bed is a sacred space where you sleep. No phone or screens. Don't even read a book there.

Sleeping sound scapes. But you have to figure out what it is you need. Brown noise, white noise, pink noise, rain, soft lofi music, high pitch low pitch, quiet reading of something boring etc.

Doctor help for anxiety sleep aids.

If weed doesn't work you can look into CBD specifically.

Make sure the bed is actually comfortable.

I've done a variety of these on and off through out the years.
