    I had this exact thought right before I scrolled to it. Depending on my brain, I can either lay and go dead sleep, or if I’m racing ill pick up the phone or whatever. I just took my blind cat out to chase moths and I’m not in the mood to sleep. Maybe in a few min. -lemmy addiction

    Looking mindlessly at my phone and scrolling through pointless posts puts me to sleep significantly faster than laying still listening to whatever thoughts and concerns my brain conjures up.

      This hits hard for me. There have been too many nights where I am just lying in bed with my mind racing. I’ve tried breathing techniques, meditation, the whole book. Doesn’t work for me, and I am left with taking delayed release melatonin pills.
