A technique I discovered when I was about five that really helps me to fall asleep is to do slow deep breathing for a few minutes, then try to imagine doing any two things simultaneously.
It can be any two things. Like solving a Rubik’s cube and drawing a picture of a rose at the same time. Or imagining building a pyramid of bricks while pruning a tree. It can literally be any two things, so it’s fun thinking about which two to imagine.
I’m not sure of the mechanism by which it works, but maybe someone else can test it and see if it works for them.
Goodnight 🤙🏽
