Meditation?

• Puer 8y ago
  I admit I might sound a bit bitter in these comments, but mentally I think I'm healthier and stronger than I've ever been. I used to struggle with depression and anxiety when I was younger so I learned mental strategies to pull myself out of unproductive states of mind. I don't feel anxious or frustrated when I can't sleep. I'm too used to it by now to let it bother me anymore.

    Ah I wasn't referring to improving your mental health with meditation. Meditation is more for calming the subconcious, dropping all the background threads that are running. Maybe that's a "hack" that can fix your problem. Even if it doesn't, meditating a few hours at night gives your body more rest than rolling around and not getting rest nor sleep. Maybe 4h of meditation at night is like 3h of real sleep for you, who knows. Furthermore, you get a lot of insights and a better connection to your body. I can recommend the app headspace.
