When sleep will not come

Lying in bed fighting for sleep teaches your brain that bed is a place of struggle. Breaking that link is what works.

Show me how
  1. If you have been awake more than 20 minutes, get up.
  2. Sit somewhere dim — no phone, no screens.
  3. Do something quiet and dull until you feel sleepy.
  4. Then back to bed. Get up at your usual time regardless.

Nothing to follow on screen for this one — read it, put the phone down, and do it.
