How to put myself to sleep?

Lately, I've been struggling with insomnia, and it takes me hours to fall asleep. My mind just keeps racing. Are there any effective techniques or habits I can try to help myself fall asleep faster?

Dude, keep your phone away at least 30 mins before sleeping. I used to scroll till 3 AM and ruin my next day. Now I just play some rain sounds on YouTube and it literally knocks me out in ten minutes.

At my age, reading a boring book for five minutes does the trick. Honestly, just keeping the phone in another room is the real challenge. Try listening to some old light music, it works better than counting sheep.

My mother always tells me to drink a cup of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric before bed. It really helps to calm the mind after a long day. But if you are unable to sleep for many days, please speak to a doctor for advice.

Keeping a fixed sleep schedule is the only thing that actually works with busy work life. I try to wind down by doing some light stretching and avoiding caffeine after 4 PM. If insomnia continues for weeks, it's best to consult a doc.

Hey, don't stress too much if you can't sleep tonight, the pressure to sleep makes it worse! Just lie down, take deep breaths, and think of something nice. Try keeping your room cool and dark, it will happen naturally.
