When I wake up in the middle of the night, realize sleep is not coming, don’t really want to get out of bed, do you have any tips to just “rest”? Sometimes I will turn over to another position ( that I don’t usually sleep in, see if I get sleepy ques, and then try my normally position again. This leads to a lot of trying and tossing and turning. Would you recommend I just lay in bed with 0 expectations to doze again that night? For example, I typically sleep on my stomach, if sleep doesn’t come, but I don’t want to get out of bed, should I just rest for the remainder of the night in a comfy, but non sleep position? And kind of just accept that I’m awake and not try again? Kind of like stimulus control. But instead of getting out of the bed and then returning when you feel “tired”, you accept you are awake, take a break in your non sleep position and then try again?

“ the more I try to sleep the less likely it comes” Truest words I’ve ever heard. 😅 great take on this💯
