Re: How do you help yourself sleep? -

Hey Emmie, I am so sorry to hear you've been struggling with sleep lately. The biggest thing that might be contributing to this is how much coffee you drink and when you stop drinking it. You should not drink coffee after 2pm, no matter what you might have after that point. Caffeine can stay in our system for a while, so by the time we're supposed to sleep, we're unable to because we still have remnants of caffeine in our bloodstream.
I would first suggest finding other ways to keep yourself awake. Are you eating enough food? Are you taking in the right kind of nutrients? Adjusting your diet even just a bit can certainly help with your metabolism. Also, try moving around a bit more to burn off any excess energy you might have hanging around by bedtime. Remember to consult with a nutritionist or your doctor about this!
When it comes time for bed, remove any kind of distraction. Shut off the TV, turn down the music, and put away your phone. Meditating before you go to bed might help, but it isn't for everyone. If it's something that interest you, you might be able to find apps on your phone or resources via a Google search.
I hope you're able to get your sleeping issues resolved soon.
