Excitable people: How do you sleep?

I tried this tip when I woke up at 3:00am last night, but it didn't work.... Recurring thoughts and worries were too strong...

Having a mind that won't shut up when you need to sleep is the WORST.

Lol. Can't sleep? Have kids and you'll get used to falling asleep when your head hits your pillow. You can "practice" falling asleep every few hours.

HOLY CRAP YES!
hahaha
I used to not be able to sleep anywhere but in my bed in a dark, quiet room - I once stayed awake for an entire flight from Billings MT to Singapore (about 30 hours) because I just could not sleep on the plane.

After having kids, I can sleep standing up. Outside. In a rainstorm.

Another thing I have done is switched to reading Biographies before bed. I usually read nonfiction, and reading something like TMF can get your mind racing right before bed.

I still focus on business people, but it is much more relaxing.

Sounds like your problem isn't sleep, it is anxiety.

That is a whole other issue.

That's correct, I agree.
