Do it at least 30-45 minutes before bed
Be careful what you are watching. Even in the moment it feels like oh haha a horror movie, your brain still subconsciously processes it at night.
Read before bed. It really helps reset your mind and is proven to help u dream!
Drink lots of water and during the screen break, try listening to calm music. Sleeptube hypnotic relaxation on YouTube is very good for this.
Make sure your sleeping area is not to warm. It’s been scientifically proven that you sleep better in a cooler room with extra blankets to be warm.
Melatonin is a supplement that can help sleep.

Hmmm... I'd probably try this sleep/destressing tea before bed, then try to read right before bed maybe??
Oh girlie I struggled with this so much last year! Really what I’ve noticed is that1.) Don’t look at the time. (It actually really helped me. If you can’t see how late it is it helps.)
2.) Just breath. (Focus on your breathing and take deep breaths)
3.) This is kinda random, but actually I’d sing a relaxing song in my head and that helped me. (Like one that you love and relaxes you)
Girlie, I really hope this helps you!

If I need to turn my mind off, I will pick a movie I have memorized and try to replay it in my mind. It blocks out other thoughts. There are also bedtime story apps, and people say they always fall asleep before the end.Lavender oil for calm.
what i do when i can’t sleep is play some sleepy music (i recommend folklore or evermore), and i fall asleep after like 6 songs :) hope it works for u!what i sometimes do as well is put essential oils on my pillow or in my diffuser, or a light a candle, the whole atmosphere makes it super sleepy

@ophelia I always read b4 bed but I should do it for longer ❤️
@rita I’ve tried getting my mom to let be take melatonin (she can be a little strict when it comes to health stuff) but she say it messes w/ ur hormones ): thanks tho i will keep it in mind. I’ve been taking magnesium instead and that definitely helps.
@katniss sometimes i sing Noah kahan in my head lol 😏
@ophelia OMG I LOVE PEACH SLEEPYTIME TEA!!!!!
@rita mint and eucalyptus oils give me headaches but i used to put lavender e. Oil on my pillow so i will start doing that again! That for reminding me (:

@blair omg i need a diffuser!!!! *adds to Xmas wishlist*
I take a pretty low dose of melatonin -- like 2 mg. Magnesium helps a lot of people. I use it because it's supposed to help prevent headaches, though I can't tell if it's helping with that.
there's always something on my mind, stress, friend trouble, crushes, etc. my mind just won't
shut off, and then I keep stressing about how late it's getting and the fact that I should be asleep, so I end up being rly tired in the morning. I don't eat / drink caffeine before bed and I avoid screens. I have a regular bedtime routine but nothing helps (a) any tips on how to relax / fall asleep quicker? ily guys!
