As someone who falls asleep in roughly 15 seconds of putting my head on the pillow, it's fascinating that people have to adopt strategies to fall asleep. I wonder what's different about me than other people. I know of insomnia of course, and know plenty of people with it, but it still seems utterly alien to me to not be able to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
I don't particularly have any bedtime rituals, but I often have a cup of caffeinated black tea right before bed. I don't know whether my ability to sleep at the drop of a hat is physiological or psychological. I'd be interested to figure it out... once I fix the 831 unit tests I just broke by upgrading all the nuget packages in this solution XD
- bergerjac 9y agoSame here. I'm 31. My mom said... even when I was a baby, she would lay me down at 10:00pm, I'd fall asleep almost immediately and wake up at 6:00am like clockwork. On the ultra-rare occasions I don't fall asleep... Instead of trying to relaaax... first I tense the muscles, then relax. The contrast is key. Tension, release. It's almost like sticking your hand in bucket of room temp water. If you would've stuck your hand in an ice bucket for 5 seconds, THEN put your hand in the room temp... different feeling.
