1. I lie there for about a half an hour and decide to have a restful time and not worry about sleeping, just appreciating the fact that I'm not working and allowing myself to relax.
2. If I'm still awake after that I do something low key and low adrenaline for a bit, reading non-fiction or fiction usually. I use the internet as caffeine so staying away from it is key if I hope to sleep.
3. If I'm still awake after a bit of that I go back to 1.
I was an insomniac for a few years as a child and part of the cycle was stressing about not being able to get to sleep. Thus the part about deciding to have a restful time without being dead set on sleeping is particularly important for me.
