What works for me is clearing my mind of all thoughts. It's not as easy as it sounds. But repeatedly stopping in mid-thought and staring into the blackness of my shut eyes and concentrating on it. But after a few weeks of practice I can finally focus on, , , nothingness.0

I struggle with sleep too. I do find that some kind of back ground noise helps me to relax if not sleep. With does leave me feeling better rested. I like thunder storm recordings.0

Reading before bed instead of screen time. Listening to rain sounds in a dark, cooled bedroom. Counting my blessings and praying for all the people in my life. DON'T lie in bed tossing and turning. Make the bed a place for peaceful repose. If all rlse fails, just get up and sit with a small light and a book. Go back to bed as soon as you start to tire even a little. Look at the stars or the moon. Cultivate peace inside yourself, daytime or nighttime. Sleep will come.0
