    Alphabet game.

    Start withAa, think the first word beginning with A that comes to mind.

    Go to B and stay on topic this time.

    Keep going till you fall asleep.

    "A… Albatross (so birds) B… Bluejay. C… Coocoo…"try to be specific but going general is ok too. If you can’t think of something on topic start the next topic from there and move on. Don’t dwell, don’t think too hard.

    This almost always works. If not, I get up and go do something mindless until I get eepy.

        Treat yourself like the owner of a dog with a pinecone when it comes to phone in bed.

        Gotta halt yourself before you turn the screen on and flashbang your brain with “WAKE THE FUCK UP THE NIGHTMARE RECTANGLE REQUIRES YOUR ATTENTION” signals
