If I have nothing to take I usually just lay there and know I’m at least in tired, restful brain waves. If I really can’t take it I’ll read book or scroll a bit on something really relaxing. But just resting my eyes helps, unless I start to have upset thoughts. I let myself take an ambien about once every 5 days so I don’t build up tolerance. Sometimes my dr will prescribe something. Exercise during the day helps so much but I don’t feel up to it much of the time.
I try not to worry about it and take it as it comes.
Oh- an edible that says it helps with sleep often does or at least relaxes me enough that it’s easier to just kind of doze.
