I’ve been having trouble lately with quieting my mind enough to actually fall asleep. It’s specifically the time when my head is on the pillow, my eyes are closed, everything is set up for sleep but that transition never arrives. Plus, when it does arrive I have no idea what I did because I’m asleep.

I’ve tried sleep meditation tracks, calming music, yoga nidra, breathing techniques; sleep just won’t come in and it’s so frustrating.

Other things I’ve tried: counting backwards from 300 by 3s, going through the alphabet backwards; looking for things like that to soothe my empty brain so I don’t get more anxious
