LPTR: fastest way to fall asleep?
More info: I’ve tried a few methods, including devices out of reach with no light, and breathing techniques. Breathing seems to be closest but I seem to have a hard time getting to a point where my breaths really slow down and relax.
@numbscroll I’ve heard meditating works for some, when I cant sleep I invent a story in my head and just roll with it until eventually I drift off. Sounds dumb, but if I don’t know when exactly I fell asleep, I won’t be as tired in the morning (ie if I know I didnt sleep until 12 am, I’ll be dead in the morning; if I followed whatever dumb story I invented in my head for hours and hours but don’t know how late it was when I conked out, for whatever reason I’m not tired). Ymmv on that last bit though, lol.
