lying in bed quietly trying to fall asleep is terrible. My brain doesn't stop, it's like a pitching machine that's gone rouge and I'm the batter stuck in the cage.
Whenever I'm finally about to fall asleep, I notice myself falling asleep and become fully awake, because my brain goes "Yes! I'm falling asleep! Hurrah!"
Every time :angery:
Rainsounds have made it at least 3x easier for me since I started using them, and a similar benefit from a weighted blanket, but some nights both of those backfire on me anyway >,<
