Tips for sober sleep? (hexbear.net)

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.

Lots of good advice in here, and you'll have to just try a lot of it to see what works for you. I will also mention "lucid dreaming". There's a whole practice around it and it requires building some habits, but it can be a lot of fun.
