What do you do when you have trouble sleeping?

i just stay in bed and wait for morning to come lol

i get sluttier

I can’t do anything to really help it.

Sleeping aid is effective for me, but I really dislike taking it. I fear becoming over reliant and then having it fuck up my body and sleep patterns...

u heard me

Quote from zuzuhhaa

no i didn't

watch something fluffy or lightheart

the few times I can't sleep I just take deep breaths and exhale. This always helps, you are instantly more relaxed

IM A CHILD YUTAZENN

and im an adult

I watch videos

I've tried melatonin supplements, but it only helps me fall asleep, it doesn't keep me from waking up constantly.

Recently, I started putting a pillow over my ear with a gap for my face (so i can breathe lol). It surprisingly helped, but I'd wake up super hot, despite not using a blanket....

Listen to ASMR or rain sounds. I like soothing sounds then I fall asleep.

not horror? lol

Display Spoiler

some scenes from The Medium got stuck in my head like when Mink was looking closely to her mother when she was sleeping OMG why do I always remember it when I'm about to sleep

to be fair some horror movies can give me a good thinking so I naturally feel calm

I remember being very thoughtful during KAIRO lmao I think the movie had an incredible message?

aaah i really wanna rewatch the wailing someday

headspace meditation

I barely have trouble sleeping but I do wake up bc I got to pee or get thirsty

I need to fix that part to get a better sleep

Quote from emme-105

Oh that reminds me of the The Medium Director's Cut link you posted. Haven't watched it yet.

Need to watch it so I can have more sleepless nights LOL

ah it was in the wailing? sorry if I mixed names to be fair I am so tired lmao like sleepless nights because I was super worried with my phone it was on repair but it is all good now

I think the sort of movie who would let me sleepless would be something irl... like some psychopath ? one day my sister made me watch a movie about a real kindnap and I felt sick for real

i think so funny she is scared of things that are fun like ghosts and such but is soo okay with real crime

i check Instagram

Quote from emme-105

LOL I'm like your sister.

really?

even with movies?

the one she made me watch is like terrible like... it was even based on a real story

haha I feel happy and idk its fun supernatural but true crime? NOPE

Give up If my brain isn't tired there's nothing I can do but wait until it is

I listen to music, or give up and find something to do on my pc

i have this old app that does this meditation thing to help with anxiety. i take off the narration and just leave the default background sound specifically. it's this generic new-agey spa-type aura sound. i've tried a million apps for white noise, and this one particular sound is the only one that didn't have anything that bothered me while i tried to sleep. it works maybe 75% of the time.

otherwise, Yunathehomegirl suggested this ASMR vid of Taeyong talking with rain sounds, and it actually worked. i think it's only ever not worked twice for me. i was about to post it, but the vid is private now.

How many times have you taken it?

A few times. Not a lot. I'm obviously being a bit careful. Maybe too much.

I listen to relaxing music and/or i take sleeping supplement.
