Hey everyone,
I'd love to get some help on resting techniques to trick your body clock and head off to dreamland.
I have an awfully hard time to fall asleep in general (unless I am totally exhausted from activities during my day), mainly because my mind wanders around so much when I lie in bed and try to sleep. I think about the weirdest things that usually don't bother me during the day, and I make mental plans for stuff I have to do or whatever. I just feel very busy before finally doozing off.
In general it takes me at least 1hr every night to fall asleep, and I find it next to impossible when my body doesn't want to / need to sleep i.e. going to bed at 3pm to be properly rested.
I tried everything from counting sheep to knocking my head against the walls
, and obviously medications wouldn't help when flying.
Any advice on how to get to sleep faster? Are there any techniques you try for example during a day layover with min. rest? I get awfully annoyed by myself when not being able to sleep.
Any help would be appreciated! Thx!
