I usually try to think about something awesome.. Which usually leads to stressful thoughts. No idea why..
Or I'll just read a random book.
Or even count sheep..

When I can't sleep I try to make myself dream. I just start thinking of something and eventually it turns into a dream and I'm asleep.

Sometimes I'll imagine that

Sometimes I'll imagine that I'm sleeping outside, in a snow cave or something with a blizzard going on, and I have to stay still and warm. Or I'll imagine that I'm laying on the back of a horse as it walks or a giant bird as it flies steadily, feeling the gentle rocking motion. It's kinda strange, but it occasionally helps me to relax and fall asleep.

I imagine one of my deer or a random deer settling down for the night and sleeping very deeply. My mind races often when I sleep so concentrating on a calm, steady image helps me a lot.
Sometimes I'll entertain myself by thinking up a nice little story in my head, like rowing a boat at night with the starts out somewhere in another country.


This Youtube channel has some ridiculously soothing sounds on it, like a train going through a town at night with a distant thunderstorm, somebody writing with a pen (haha somehow it is soothing to hear), windchimes.. lots of stuff. I like to listen to one or two tracks while drinking chamomile tea to help myself wind down.
