hey guys! I need your help! I can’t fall asleep, what do you think I should do? 💖💚💙

Oh dear! Well when I can’t sleep, which is basically any time I’m away from my Elphie and Fiyero, I usually write in my diary till I get sleepy -Glinda

I find that a cup of tea and doing some reading. Especially if it’s something, dare I say it, boring. It helps me slow my brain down. I hope this helps you. -Elphaba

Oh man… well first things first darling, I’m sorry you’re having trouble sleeping. Stretch. I love a good stretch before bed. I think it loosens any tensions you hold from the day, and it just feels good. -Fiyero

Best Sleep Position: How to stay healthy? Find out what the experts are saying

Highlights Different people have different sleep types (Best Sleep Position). Some sleep on their stomachs, others on their backs. Some people feel comfortable sleeping on the right side. Again, in some cases, if you do not go back to the left side, you will not sleep well. However, one of these types of sleep is good for health. This time the digital desk: Different people have different sleep…

How I Fall Asleep

I have had a lot of trouble falling asleep for a long time. Throughout the years, I have found some tips on how to fall asleep and have decided to share them with you. Some of them are odd but they work for me. Here we go.

1. Podcasts

I specifically listen to “Sleep With Me” by Dearest Scooter and Drew Ackerman on Spotify. Just press play on your charging phone and leave it on your nightstand or dresser. Listen. Fall asleep.

2. Audiobooks, Movies, or Spoken Word

With audiobooks and movies, I recommend something slightly funny. Something lighthearted and quiet and gentle. I use “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. It reminds me of childhood what can I say.

There are poetry playlists on Spotify so if spoken word is your style you can find it there.

3. Breathing Techniques or any other calming techniques

Breathe in for 8 counts. Hold for 10. Exhale until lungs are empty. Change this technique to how it works for you but this is what I use.

4. Spelling Choose a song you know by heart and instead of singing it in your head, spell the letters out one at a time.

….and this last one is my particularly weird tactic

5. Go to WikiHow and click random.

Read the article completely through and you will be distracted, more knowledgeable, and possibly asleep.

The best sleeping advice I've ever received was to practice this one form of reiki when you're trying to sleep. Think of someone you know who's in pain. Now think of the specific spot on them that hurts. Imagine a bright light, a healing light full of your love and energy, going into this specific spot. The light goes in one side; giving relief and repair to their ails. The light comes out the other side pulling with it all the nasty energy in this persons pain. I find it most helpful because it gets you so focused and so relaxed and you could also help out your loved ones so its like a win win 😊

Why am I so exhausted?

I've been getting 6-8 hours of sleep every night this week, but when I wake up I feel like I haven't slept at all. Not to mention the sleep that I do get is awful and I wake up multiple times in the night and have a terrible time getting to bed. But I've managed to get an appropriate amount of hours in.

Like seriously, that point of tiredness where you feel sick to your stomach? That's been me, like this whole week.

I'm exhausted. And I work a double shift today. Boo

Anyone have advice on sleeping better?
