What's your favorite sleeping technique?
(sh.itjust.works)
Concentrating on breathing using my diaphragm.
I stole this actually from sitting meditation. Laying on my back this usually puts me too sleep in a couple of minutes. It's especially useful when my mind is racing.
Watching tv and fall asleep or download ASMR of your choice, I prefer taping nails, whispering or ears stuff, put the auto close timer at 30 minutes and sleep.
Earplugs, cold room, thick blanked and a pillow under my knees/between my legs depending on wether I'm on my back or side. If on top of all this I don't fall asleep/wake up in the middle of the night anxious about unfinished tasks that would be great.
Drink sufficient alcohol, lay around in bed until I notice I fell asleep and dropped my phone. Then I can go to sleep.
Lying on my back.
Bed.
I focus on feeling my heartbeat. Puts me right to sleep.
