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.

Do you take any time to process your day before going to sleep? Racing thoughts are sometimes a sign that you haven’t processed and your brain is doing that while you’re trying to fall asleep sleep. You can speed up this process by journaling or meditative processing. Meditative processing means that you take about 10 minutes to let your thoughts pop up without engaging with them.
