What can we do when we can't sleep?

Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, this post should take about three minutes to five minutes to read from start to finish. Sometimes we often feel that we can’t go to sleep either because we aren’t feeling tired or we’ve so many things in our minds that we just overthink about. 

What has been your strategies that has worked and helped you go to sleep whenever you can't go to sleep? 

If you can't see the image above, it says "If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying, it's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep." - Dale Carnegie. 

I would like to share with you some suggestions that you can help go to sleep without taking any sleeping pills/medications. 

- We can write in a journal (we can write about our feelings, we can write about what’s in our minds, we can write about our short-term goals, we can write about our long-term goals, we can write about some things that we’re grateful for, we write about our accomplishments throughout lives, etc). 

- We can read a book. 

- We can watch a movie that we’ve seen multiple times in the past and we know that it would be okay for us to fall asleep during that movie because we already know the ending. 

- We can watch a show that we’ve seen multiple times in the past and we know that it would be okay for us to fall asleep during that show because we already know the ending. 

- We can write down a to do list of things that we would like to accomplish the next day. 

- We can write down the groceries list of what we can get. 

- We can write down meal plans for next week. 

- We can letters to relatives and friends 

- We can pray about our feelings, what’s in our minds, and express our gratitude of what we’re thankful for. 

- We can write down what we would like to accomplish throughout next week. 

 

Stay Tuned until next time.
