I've been struggling with insomnia for months, and while I've tried the usual advice like limiting screen time and keeping a consistent schedule, my mind just races as soon as I hit the pillow, reviewing work stress and tomorrow's to-do list. I've even cut out caffeine after noon, but it hasn't made a significant difference. For others who have overcome similar sleep hygiene challenges, what specific strategies or mindset shifts finally helped you quiet your thoughts and fall asleep more reliably? I'm particularly interested in techniques beyond basic routine, like specific relaxation exercises, environmental adjustments for temperature and sound, or how you manage anxiety about not sleeping itself, which ironically keeps me awake.
