not moving

(advice for falling asleep if you are not tired coming from someone who worked rotating shifts for a decade) like this is not a joke but nothing helps me fall asleep faster than not moving as soon as i lie down.

“oh i can’t fall asleep, i rotate onto my other side” no!

“oh i know turning on my belly might help” no!

“oh i know…” just stop it.

stay put, try to calm your thoughts but do - not - move - any - limps - at - all! no little arm movement, no turning around and very soon that little tingly feel will start to appear letting you know that you’ll soon be fast asleep.

thank you very much for that fix!

lol i wondered why i looked so wrong but couldn’t put my finger on it. truthfully though: “tee” would be the proper spelling in my native language and i haven’t had a cup of tea yet so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

do you mind me asking about the amount of tea you have used as well as the time you let it sit for? most black tea like darjeeling and blends of breakfast teas taste very similar if brewed too strong (i.e. too much tea or too much time). i like to use about a tee spoon full of tea for a mug size and let it sit for about 3-4min max.
