Struggling to fall back asleep can be frustrating. Sleep specialists suggest focusing
on relaxation rather than forcing sleep. Forcing Sleep: Trying too hard increases stress,
making it harder to relax. Staying in Bed: After 20 minutes, get up to prevent your brain
from associating your bed with wakefulness. Using Your Phone: Blue light suppresses melatonin,
keeping you awake. What to Do Instead Read a physical book under dim lighting. Practice
deep breathing or meditation. Listen to calming music or a podcast. Stretch or do gentle yoga.
Relax and Let Go Worrying about lost sleep only makes it harder to relax. Trust your body to return to sleep naturally
