Looking mindlessly at my phone and scrolling through pointless posts puts me to sleep significantly faster than laying still listening to whatever thoughts and concerns my brain conjures up.
This hits hard for me. There have been too many nights where I am just lying in bed with my mind racing. I've tried breathing techniques, meditation, the whole book. Doesn't work for me, and I am left with taking delayed release melatonin pills.
