Battling Insomnia

Having trouble sleeping because of stress, anxiety, depression, or similar struggles? It can feel awful lying awake at night after a long, exhausting day. Tossing and turning, checking the clock, getting up for water or a bathroom break… yes, that’s me most nights. Here are a few things that have helped me (and are still helping) manage insomnia: • A glass of red wine before bed • A hot bath or a hot cup of tea • Exercise — even simple stretching (I do this) or a few push-ups before sleep, if you can but I can't • Saying a long prayer, like the Rosary — it really works for me 🙂 • Changing your environment, room, or even your sleeping position sometimes • Avoiding daytime sleep — not even a nap What methods work for you? I’d love to hear your ideas — please share!
