People struggle with falling asleep for many different reasons, so take this with a grain of salt, but I have found that using grounding exercises, such as 5-4-3-2-1 or body scan, can sometimes be helpful to short-circuit the thought-chains that keep my mind awake long into the night. I also found pracitcing these techniques regularly in “meditations” help reinforce the skill during times of stress.
