I wake up at 3am to 4am daily as a neighbor makes noise walking their dog. This cannot be helped. Once I am awake, my mind won’t stop going over details about everything from the mundane to the critical. Often, I am able to fall asleep again after three or more hours of wakefulness, but onlyinutes before I have tonwake for the day.

Does anyone have success with quieting the mind without substances so that they can fall back to sleep?

    Do you have ADHD or something similar?
    I always need to have something playing in the background to stop my mind from overworking.

      Me too . Lately I put on it’s always Sunny in Philadelphia since I’ve seen every episode many times and set the tv with a sleep timer . I’m also very nerdy so I like to imagine cool PC setups or electronic projects I would make if I had no budget . Somehow that helps me fall asleep.
