I pray and surrender what ever is bothering me to the Lord It has never failed me , I know this is too simple and can not possibly work ... To practice this release daily is the key to my sleeping through the night I have done so with bad news delivered with money issues pending with family struggles all a rage .whatever life throws at me I carry to Jesus in prayer this relieves me in a way nothing else has .Its confidential its free and its easy.

Hey :)
Sleeping well when stressed can be quite ..... well, stressful. I read about a method a few months back and it has really helped me and some other people I know. It's a sort of breathing technique called the 4-7-8 breathing technique. It's very simple and you can do this either while sitting or lying down. Breathe in through your nose for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhale through your mouth for eight seconds. Repeat a few more times. Hope this helps :)

In my personal experience there are many things that can be tried in this situation. There are relaxation exercises & deep breathing techniques, mindfulness, and creating a healthy sleep environment for yourself. If you have access, there are now apps that can guide you through some of these processes, as well. Also, trying to reduce stress in general would be a really good idea, if at all possible.

I like to use guided imagery podcasts when I can't sleep. They mix soft music with sleep-related meditation and are incredibly relaxing.

The best way to fall asleep whenever stressed (for me) is by counting as high as you can get to. That method does not work for many people. Other common and working methods are falling asleep while reading, watching a movie, or even while on 7 Cups of Tea.

Close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths, breathing in through the nose, and out through the mouth. After doing this a few times, you should start to naturally de-stress

Aromatherapy always works for me. Find anything with notes of lavender, vanilla, honey, or chamomile that you could bathe/shower with before laying down at night.

One method that I've read about is to write down all the things you're stressed about, then put it away to look at tomorrow. In any case, just lying in bed quietly with your eyes closed is also a form of rest. I always remind myself of this so that I don't get more stressed about how little sleep I am getting, rest helps too :)

Do some meditation for example to relax your whole body. Meditation isnt always spiritual. The breathing exercises help you to calm down :) Everyone has another stragedy, which helps the best. Some people read a book before going to sleep, others may listen to an audiobook or calming music.
