A Night Owl’s Tips to Sleep

When is a decent hour to go to bed for a night owl? Does your mind never stop and not seem to register it’s time to rest? Having tried many times to read, watch TV, or counting sheep, but doesn’t seem to work.

As a night owl, my mind tends to be more active, and my thoughts don’t seem to be quiet when I lay down in bed. It has been a long time since I found these tricks that aid to fall asleep. I combined two of my favorite things I like to do. One, which might be strange is writing stories: two, music on a timer. I can focus on both or one than letting those unwanted thoughts to filter through.

I loved to create stories all the time, and since my creative night owl tendencies come out, I figured it might help to make them up in my head. Then upon those stories, sometimes when I’ve had a particularly bad day, I would play sounds of the rain on Pandora. The station I listen to is “Rain Sounds Radio.” They both together calm my restlessness.

I’m not telling you that these may not work for you, but as a bookworm and music fan do these work. I hope if you do try one or both that it helps for you. Let me know if it does. Remember you don’t have to stop your night owl creative brain from taking a little rest. Maybe you can find another outlet idea to get to sleep.
