  • A sleep meditation that shuts off after about an hour. Not eating at least 3 hrs before bed.
  • I don't have insomnia. I work shifts, so my sleep habits are not regular (e.g. sometimes I work from 11pm to 8am. I will then sleep from 5:30pm to 10pm)
  • Wake regularly at same time every day regardless of the weekend (no sleeping in) and when I’m tired during the day (due to whichever exertions throughout the day, I take a nap (no more than 20-40 minutes). I try to go to bed at a consistent time but also pay attention to myself / my needs; if I’m extra tired I’ll just go to bed despite an earlier-than-usual hour. If I’m not sleeping immediately, i may read for a bit. I make my bedroom off limits for anything else.

  • If I have a number of nights when I wake up and have trouble getting back to sleep, I find that David's Teas Valerian nights can help with this - drinking before bedtime.
  • I sleep with the TV on the News channel; I close my eyes and listen, without judment, to what is said, it also prevents my thoughts from running wild about the day's events and I fall asleep. When and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I do the same and eventually fall asleep again.
