How to Redirect a Busy Brain During the Night

Instead of trying hard to fall back asleep, get out of bed or sit up and engage in enjoyable activities. Read, use your phone, knit, stretch, or anything you prefer. Don't do boring activities to trick your brain into sleep as it will only lead to frustration. Trust in sleep and let it take care of you. One suggestion is to listen to a podcast or audiobook to redirect your mind. It's a great way to stay engaged without disturbing your partner or wasting time during the day. Rather than fighting against your busy mind at night, find constructive outlets during the day and transition to a relaxed state before bed. Embrace the extra me time and enjoy the playful thoughts that come with it.
