1. Trick

The “Tatort” on Sunday evening, and that is German to one of the favorite rituals. With sleep these bloody stories are not but unfortunately.

You get used instead, to end the day with 15 minutes of privacy: Cuddling before going to bed in a soft blanket, and turn on soothing music. You can sit simply there, listening and breathing, without a cell phone or running a TV – as a result, your nervous system calms down.

Think about it, which is a positive feeling, to connect you with your sleep. How does it feel when you are on the verge of falling Asleep? It is the feeling of security that you have met peace, love? You focus on this feeling and allow it to always on my mind continue to grow.

Instead of an Emotion, it may be of course also a certain sound that you associate with sleep. In this case, you just let him again and again, gently sounded, while lying in bed. Then the fatigue from all alone come on!

Keep around awake circle of thoughts and feelings? The more attention we give them, the stronger they will be. You can use a Trick: Send your “uninvited guests” in an imaginary room, you are setting up nice – with a Sofa, colourful pictures, and other accessories that you like.

In this room, all the feelings are allowed to take place, and you don’t want to take care of. They welcome you friendly and you tell them that you will pick them up tomorrow morning. The more often you apply this Ritual, the more relaxed you will be.
