Hey yaar, I totally get this! When I can't sleep, I just try not to stress too much about it. Sometimes reading a super boring book or listening to some chill music helps. Don't worry, you'll sleep eventually!

Bro, for this, my Oura Ring really helps me track my sleep patterns. Try some guided meditations on Headspace or Calm. Also, make sure your room is dark and cool. Blue light filters on your phone after sunset are a must!

My son used to have this problem. What worked for us was a warm bath before bed, a glass of warm milk, and reading a story together. No screens for at least an hour before sleep. Consistency is key, beta.

Honestly, if I can't sleep, I just get up, walk around for a bit, maybe drink some water, and then try again. Staring at the ceiling makes it worse. Or sometimes just accept it and chill on the sofa until I feel drowsy.

While these tips can help, if this is a regular thing, please consult a doctor. Sleep issues can sometimes be linked to other underlying conditions. Better to get it checked out properly for your peace of mind.
