but a little trick to kill the annoying thoughts in your head while trying to fall asleep: try to imagine yourself lying in the bed.

think about every little detail of your body , e.g like your hands are positioned atm.



i know this sounds really gay but helps
Mine is gayer.

Do deep Yoga breathing, to your stomach, versus chest.

My favorite breathing technique to relax and drift off is the following:

Breathe out all the air in your lungs.

Take a steady deep breath that lasts for 3 seconds. Hold it for 7 seconds, breathe it all out in 8 seconds.

Do this a few times, and you will be relaxed. Enough to go into lala land.
