    Relaxing muscles, listening to calming music but on low sound, having a relaxing bath before bed could calm you down before bed too, getting into a comfortable position then relaxing your muscles could help!

    I like listening to sleep stories or sleep sounds on Youtube. Reading helps me to wind down before bed too, as well as journalling, meditating, and having a warm bath :blush:

    That's understandable :blush: There are lots of different sleep sounds on YouTube, some of which I find super relaxing, others just distract me and keep me awake. I think it's about trying a few different things until you find what works for you :blush: Is there anything else that helps you to fall asleep Ellie?

    It sounds like you have things which you have been using to try and help you sleep @ellie2000. For example, playing 'stanley parable ultra' and jigsaws.

    How have these been for you? I can see @Leila and @coc0mac have provided you with some suggestions if you are still looking for tips :)

    Maybe putting a comfy pillow can help, especially for your posture, as I don't want you to be in pain!
