Having trouble falling asleep lately. A lot of times I think about the vastness of the universe and how insignificant I am which makes me feel more secure on a personal level since nothing I do will ultimately matter. But lately this isn’t helping What tips y’all got to falling asleep when your mind won’t stop racing. Drugs aren’t an option sadly

Recently, I mostly think about my most recent games of CKII and how that would play out as a historical docu-drama. It's been a while, but also some of my more dramatic heavily modded Emperor of the Fading Suns games (usually with some PBEM games mixed in). Or what happens in Vvardenfell after some of my Nevarines are cowardly murdered by radical members of the Temple and what succession looks like. Or the political machinations of FO2 after my character was done, or if a radical all 10 prewar clonetech was discovered and raised by a tribe. Or various fanfic universes I've created in Star Wars or Babylon 5 (that one ended up becoming its own thing and is now just it's own universe). Plus lots of random stuff when I can get into a proper twilight semi-lucid state. That's always the best but I've got to get myself into the right kind of tired for that to happen.

Your posts, OP For real if I can’t fall asleep I read the news which probably isn’t good either

I think about making a video game from the most naive perspective i can, like 'wouldnt it be cool if.. and then if this happened.. etc', while disregarding implementation details very intentionally. Its like nice squishy nothing thoughts that are super pleasant and relaxing.

nothing helps, you're either tired enough to fall asleep or you aren't

I really enjoyed "Mad God" because it is basically what I see when I close my eyes and unfocus. So to fall asleep I have to focus to keep the visions at bay. But sometimes embracing them is great.

The best way to fall asleep for me is to turn on some white noise, I like the sound of rain personally, then lay down, breathe deep and slowly through the nose Think only about breathing in and out... Count the time of your breathing. Go for like 5 seconds in then 5 seconds out. Increase count up to like 10. The important part of blanking your mind off thoughts except for the immediate. That's why paying attention to your breathing helps. Stay in the moment and don't think about the future. I've had trouble going to sleep since I was like 10 years old, and it definitely takes practice. I'm pretty good at it now. It's like a form of meditation maybe 🤔

I keep having these dreams of a woman walking out of a church or a cemetery. I get them sometimes when I am awake too. There is a voice that sounds like a radio just a few notches off telling me something I can't hear.

The trick is not to do any heavy processing and instead visualize your body slowly growing heavier.

I just close my eyes and lay still. I can ussually see some colors and images and then I know I'm about to doze off. I have really wild, vivid dreams tho so I wake up about 3 times ever night. Sometimes it's just nightmares of all the posts I've made...

I usually like having nature sounds on, usually rainfall. Then, I try to picture a dull golden sphere, which helps me to look away from all other thoughts. Kind of meditative. When I'm close to sleep, I usually let out a low, guttural 'hmmm' without meaning to. So, nature, meditation and throat chanting.

I watch videos on my laptop with the sound off, though when I'm half asleep my brain makes the images look all weird and surreal.
