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.

All good advice in this thread, I'd suggest meditation as well. It helps retrain your brain to defocus and helped me a lot with racing thoughts. Used to take me a couple hours to fall asleep, now I'm down to about 20min. Which is still higher than average but it's a lot better.
