Can’t sleep, again!

Breathe in count one Breathe out count two Breathe in count one Breathe out count two.....

I rarely have that fail but failing that an audiobook or podcast on very quietly, but I chose a soothing voice rather than interesting content - I don't recommend you go off hunting for soothing voices at this time of night I have a couple of audiobooks that I keep for just such occasions. I also find that if I take something like Nytol too early I tend to fight through it a bit so it ends up being less effective. 

LoveOnTheNHS also makes a good point, sometimes we don't realise we are hungry, thirsty, chilly.

Thank you!I will try the breathing exercises, failing that I have found in the past that counting slowly while visualising each number stops my mind thinking about everything enough to get me to sleep, so I could try that too!
