LPT: Struggle to fall asleep? Reframe your bedtime experience as a first class flight to tomorrow. This will require a bit of your imagination, but this worked big time on me! A lot of people struggle to fall asleep because our minds won’t stop racing. But what if we could turn bedtime into a luxury experience rather than just another part of your routine? When you think about this: when you’re on a plane, most people (including me..) in econ…

LPT: If your arm is asleep, flex your muscles instead of shaking your arm I’ve found way better results flexing my muscles than shaking and flailing my arm. For me all it takes to regain feeling is a few muscle flexes and I’m good . I discovered this way too late and wanted to share submitted by /u/Overall-Emphasis7558

LPT: Another strategy for falling asleep fast I was inspired by the other recent post about this and thought I’d give my own take on it: I learned this tip from a therapist a few years ago and thought I should share it. To fall asleep fast, lay down and get (mostly) comfortable, close your eyes, and start counting up from 1 with the goal of reaching 150 (or any arbitrarily high number). Cou…

LPT How I fall asleep fast I just read a post on this very subject and thought I would share how I fall asleep fast. I was told this is how some members in the military fall asleep in less than ideal conditions in the field. (No clue if that’s true or not). Get myself into a comfortable position. Starting from the top of my head, then down to each section of my body I …

Tips to fall asleep faster in flights Hi everyone, writing this to get some suggestions in falling asleep when in flights, recently I had been traveling more with min duration of 4hrs taking at least a round trip once every 2months, and it’s been quite an overload for me to fall asleep though I’m exhausted. 1- tried long walks before flight 2- tried eye cover/ Mask 3- had whiskey fo…

LPT: If you’re having trouble falling asleep, try counting backward from 300 in increments of 3. It may sound strange, but it forces your brain to focus and distracts you from any racing thoughts, helping you fall asleep faster. If you have trouble falling asleep, try counting backward from 300 in increments of three. The mental task of focusing on the numbers can help distract your mind from overthinking and ease you into relaxation. It works better than just trying to “clear your mind” because it gives your brain something simple but engaging to do. Give it a shot nex…

LPT: To fall asleep I struggled to fall asleep for many years. Then I read a suggestion which has made all the difference for me. While lying in bed in a comfortable position, clench your fingers and toes for 10 seconds, then relax for 10. Repeat half a dozen times. Very quickly I lose the count (during the relaxed period) because my mind has switched off. Soon af…

Best ways to fall asleep on flights The only international flight I’ve ever taken was 8 hours Chicago to Paris, and figured I’d sleep on the way there. Two melatonin pills later and the only thing I could do was doze for about an hour. (I think it may have also disrupted my sleep the following night.) As someone who plans to do much more international travel in the future, like 10…

LPT: Fall asleep to videos on a laptop rather than a TV for better sleep hygiene. Humans sleep better the less light is in the room. The benefits of a laptop are the smaller screen and lower minimum brightness options than many TVs. For example, my Zenbook is able to go so dim that it is only possible to make out the picture with the room completely dark. It’s a good balance between being able to fall asleep to something whil…

What music do you listen to when falling asleep? I know many people tend to listen to music while falling asleep but I cannot do this. Whenever I listen to music while sleeping I wake up or can’t sleep at all. Maybe because the music is fast paced or maybe my brain isn’t wired to sleep with noise. Does any type of music help with sleep? Or can be listened to without feeling more awake than bef…

LPT about falling asleep faster when you are used to making up dreams in your head LPT If you are used to always make up stories in your head to fall asleep. All my life I made up scenarios in my head and starred in my own movies as I lay in bed trying to sleep. Back in the days often longer than 1h. Not because I wanted to, but out of necessity ’cause sleep never came easy and fast. Most of the time there was a lot of action …

LPT : Can’t fall asleep? Start naming words in your head. This tip was given to me a few months ago, and any time I’ve had to use it I’m asleep in minutes. While laying awake, start naming any words that pop into your mind. Just a stream of consciousness of whatever words come to mind. Try to avoid patterns or connections and don’t think about it. Just start rattling off words. I was told that this mim…

Things to do in a Hotel Room After Your Child Falls Asleep at 7:30 p.m. Sit in the bathroom and use your creativity to make it the most exciting place in the entire hotel.

LPT: How to sleep if you have insomnia/struggling to fall asleep (no bs) This is a technique I have discovered recently and I want to share it to my fellow insomniacs. Lay down on a comfortable position. Close your eyes and think of something incoherent. This can be anything as long is it does not have any meaning. Let your mind spiral and DO NOT try to understand what your mind is thinking. Keep your mind occupie…
