There’s a hundred things you can try before pills

No screen time before bed, read a book or math

No sugar or coffee at least 8 hours before bed

Proper workout during the day so your body is physically tired. Try switching from cardio to strength training

If those don’t work meditation, sleep therapy, mental sleep tricks, hypnosis, etc

Colder bedroom

Thinner sheets

Raise head by couple inches with thicker pillow

Try falling asleep in your back

With your eyes closed try to cycle through a nive memory of the day. Or focus through your third eye or focus attention far away

is sleeping on your back advised? 🤔 i’ve always fell asleep on my right side

Most people fall asleep on their side. A food and sleep doctor once explained to me that when you fall asleel most people roll onto their back anyway. During lighter rem states you can turn on your side again but not in deep rem sleep.

Personally I find myself drift away quicker after ~ 10 mins on my back, but this might not work for you 🤷

I lie on my back and when I am about to drift off roll to my side and usually fall immediately to sleep. I won't actually fall asleep on my back though.
