I tried very hard to sleep so many hours ago but it was just not going to happen. I was already exhausted yet I kept tossing and turning. My head was running wild with thoughts that I wanted to put aside for the night so I could rest but nope! Didn't happen.
So I watched the Absolutely Fabulous movie for the first time while MyLotting to get my mind off things. I think I may be able to sleep now. Hopefully! 
I really need to. My brain is becoming mush. 
So even though it's 6 in the morning, I shall try to get to sleep. Most likely sleeping the day away!
YAY DEPRESSION
Good night / good morning.
What do you do to help you fall asleep?

@jaboUK I don't have a job at the moment. Which is actually a good thing right now considering my mental state. I did recently get my Nail Certificate in the mail. I did Cert II in Nail technology. I am wanting to do another course soon though.

@LovingMyBabies Yeah I do watch some TV too. I like to fall asleep to it. I don't always work well with complete silence.
Hope you're well Jennifer.

I have very few nights where I don't fall asleep once my head hits the pillow. When I got my new manufactured home, and before I moved any furniture in I decided I wanted to sleep in it. I brought my sleeping bag and laid it on the bedroom floor. I crawled in and just could not get to sleep. I tossed and turn about half the night. Then I got up and turn my sleeping bag 90ยบ and crawled back in. I fell asleep within minutes and slept very well the rest of the night. So when I moved my furniture in I put the bed in the direction I turned my sleeping bag on that night. I'm not saying that will help you. It's just something that popped into my mind when I thought about tossing and turning trying to get to sleep.

Welcome back! I also slept for 12 hours. 
Had been working with Mom since I woke up. If I can't sleep then to make myself sleepy, I do following things
Listen to music and connect with the emotions of the songs
Watch videos until I stop following
Read something until words become jumbled mess
Think about pleasant things
Play with characters and enact the plot in my head
Bounce my leg while I lie down
Cover my eyes to block even a tiniest bit of light
Get a cold shower in Summers and hot one in winters
Wash my eyes with cold water
Go out to sit or walk round and round
Basically, I do/ think everything that does not let me think that I am having trouble sleeping. Because thinking that delays the sleep even more.

@Daljinder Thank you for the list ma'am! And I agree with the whole thinking thing. That's pretty much the issue a majority of the time for me.

@scheng1 I do often. It's very annoying. It isn't always near the 30 hours mark but it can be 12 - 20 hours without sleep often. In fact I slept 2 hours early this morning. Been up all night. So might lay down soon.

@RubyHawk Completely understandable. Some good sleep would do wonders....when it actually happens lol
