Sleep Tips for this #WellnessWednesday

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping? I feel like my OCD loves to attack me at bedtime and keep me up.

Sometimes I'm ruminating on something. Other times I'm mentally reviewing the past for mistakes I've made.

Then there are other nights where I just feel like a general sense of anxiety makes it hard to get to sleep.

I like these practical and easy tips for better sleep. They don't always work, but I do find that they help.

What tips do you have for better sleep?

in youtube, i put video of 10hours with dark screen. only raining noise. this makes me sleeping. or a very very old black and white movie film, which transports me to the far past where no violence, no technology... extracting me from the modern world, then i sleep.

These are both really cool ideas. I do love old black and white films.
