    First, no smartphone in your bedroom EVER. No alcohol before bedtime. Read a book with little action (Jane Austin, Jules Verne, old books do wonders …). Then turn out the light. Find a comfortable position, find the muscles that are tense and relax them. Don’t move anymore. Then count up 1,2,3,4,5… when thoughts pop into you head, start from 0 again.

      People say this about smartphones and maybe it’s true for many people, but for me I have fallen asleep while reading or scrolling countless times. It usually feels like the phone helps me wind down and get sleepier.
