I use a weighted blanket, and many people I know use one it helps greatly.
Also pray and read the bible it helps to take your mind off your troubles.
Also name ten things about yourself you like/love.
pray for all the things you have, then pray for others as many as you can name and their problems, then pray for God to accept your troubles, worries, fears, and feelings. Then pray for guidance.
I usually fall asleep without knowing i fell asleep

For me, its about physical comfort and routine that bring mental and emotional relaxation and with that come sleep. Develop a health sleep routine and time. Doing so will demonstrate self love and commitment to yourself. It sends a message to your psyche that you are important and deserving. Give it about 3 weeks to solidify. By then, hopefully, you will find sleep will come easier and will be restorative.

I wrestle with this myself. I sometimes find myself working myself into exhaustion. I don't think this is healthy, perhaps better to say know this is not healthy.

Low lights, gentle music, no electronics, and a couple of melatonin gummies tend to help me a lot. Melatonin is a sleep aid and a naturally occurring thing. So no prescription and can be gotten off the shelf. Please research it for yourself, ask a Dr if needs be. But that helps me. Hopefully, you find/get restful sleep soon. Be well

I know how exhausting this can be but it will get better keep that in mind even when it seems impossible.
I do try to exercise and on my worst days I do some weed gummies ( I don't smoke or drink) so this is my only way to cope also because I was getting anxiety attacks....I don't recommen any kind of drugs but you gotta do something for your body and mind specially when your eating and sleeping habits are screwed.

Hi there, I struggle with this too after my breakup. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't, but I've downloaded the Calm app and listen to the Sleep Stories each night. Something about the sounds of their voices help me drift off to sleep, I especially like the ones about nature, those seem to relax me enough to drift off after the first five minutes. Now STAYING asleep? That's a whole different story. One little noise wakes me up in the middle of the night and my mind gets reeling all over again. Ugh!

I think that the fact that I am responding to this at 2 am and have to get up at 6 means that I don't have an answer that always works but what usually works for me is listening to music. The thing you have to be careful of doing this though is not to play songs that remind you of the one you lost.

The other thing that I noticed that helps me most of the time is to go ahead and experience what ever you are feeling. Yell into pillow, cry in your blanket or beat on your mattress (all things I have done) whatever it takes but don't hold it in.

It has been a year for me and I still have bad nights but they are fewer and farther between unless something particular happens that day. So it may not seem like it now but it will get better it just seems like it takes forever to get there. Prayers and love
