    Me using phones : wow, I can sleep at 1am, great.
    Me “just going to bed” : great, it’s 4am and I’m still overthinking my shortcomings!

        I recently tried audio books and they worked surprisingly well for me. I tried some of those “bedtime stories for adults” at first but they were kind of lame. Stephen King’s short story collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes did the trick. Just speaker on my phone and set to read one chapter, ~1 hour in this case.

      Yep. Numbing the thoughts away with constant input helps the body gain the upper hand and let me go to sleep.
