How to fall asleep with an overactive mind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relaxation: Please look up two things online for instructions - 1. Deep breathing exercises & 2. Progressive muscle relaxation. Both of these work well & can help to quiet your mind. Good sleep hygiene is also important. Retire & rise same time each day. Keep bedroom dark & cool & use only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv. No naps. Exercise regularly but not in late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or.
