Oh! One more. If you’re struggling to sleep, and waffle house at midnight isn’t in the cards, put your body in timeout for a bit. Move out from the bed to a cold floor (like the kitchen) and lay on that for a while. Then, once your body knows that it could always be worse, head back to bed.
This assumes that the usual tricks, like good sleep hygeine such as avoiding screens before bed, aren’t available. You’re better off going with what science knows to work when you can, such as morning excersize, over a last minute tip like this.
