What are your tricks of falling asleep quickly?
I have been struggling with falling asleep lately with all the pre-launch stress getting to me. Do you have any proven sleep recipes (no pills obviously) :)

@enderm sounds great, I have heard so much about the positive impact of meditations, have to try it out finally
listening to slow songs, thinking about the things you want to do tomorrow, writing poems, or reading a book: for me, one of these four helps me to sleep faster.
it might sound silly but I watch ASMR videos. They are somehow calm and relaxing, and they really get my brain ready to sleep in 5-10 minutes 😴
I also usually avoid taking meds and prefer using natural ways to fall asleep (having checked the Canadian Pharmacy site and read the info about sleeping pills there, I decided not to take them). Here is what works for me:
- keeping my bedroom quiet, dark, and cool at night
- avoiding caffeine during the day (I can have one cup of coffee with milk early in the morning)
- a walk in the evening
- eating smaller meals more often and eating earlier
- drinking more water
- a warm bath
- avoiding devices at least two hours before going to bed
- reading
My trick is a patch from https://feelzing.com/blogs/news/... . It uses a proprietary waveform to stimulate nerves of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Controlled deep breathing.
Meditation.
Visualization.
Progressive muscle relaxation.
Set up a 'worry time' before bed.
