Question

Answer 1

• Try to stay awake instead. ...
• Or just get out of bed.
• Get back in bed and do some deep breathing. ...
• Try not to try so hard.

Answer 2

Answer:

These are a few things I could think of:

• Meditate before you sleep.
• Listen to calm songs.
• Read a book before you sleep, you'll be thinking of the story while you're reading, and maybe the scary thoughts will go away.
• Slow your breath, slow your mind
• Call out your worries, just say your worries aloud and they will probably go away.
• Let your muscles fully relax

• Make a to-do list so the next day will be more organised if you can't sleep.

Hope it helps, but I've actually never used these because I just stay up all night, reading one of my favourite books. ;)
