I’ll try it out and see if it works for me

Reddit:

When you’re in bed with your eyes closed, roll them back as far as you can (it’s kind of a weird feeling to me). Hold them like that for several seconds, relax, repeat. The reason something so simple works is because your eyes roll back naturally when you’re really asleep in this fashion. Doing it deliberately signals the brain to release melatonin, which is one of our “sleep hormones” (and popular as a supplement to take at bedtime to help sleep). So there you have it. I just saved you 12 bucks. :D

    tested lots of different techniques during that time and the only one that I think had some effect was doing cardio that was intense enough to leave me physically exhausted.

    What works ish for me semi consistently that isn’t drugs when having severe trouble, sitting in front of a personal heater til I overheat and that makes it easy for me to fall asleep, but it only works in the winter and i have to be naked so sweat evaporates.

      Interesting. Wouldn’t it be possible to achieve a similar effect with a hot shower? I think that I might be too uncomfortable to sleep if I sweat.

        Hot showers haven’t ever worked for me. But I have slept in bathtubs filled with hot water.
