if you don't need to use youtube then just stay off of the website entirely

you can actually restrict youtube from showing you any shorts, just go to the configuration and restrict your timing to 0 minutes in shorts, then they won't show up anymore on your feed. i struggle a lot with that too, so i did that, and also put a timer on all the apps i spend the most time on (instagram, youtube facebook because i'm addicted to marketplace). it helps me stay focused and also just spend less time on my phone, specially when i have things to do

Oh okay imma try that too thnks tho

Lullaby music works for me either rain sounds or healing frequencies put yourself in the food coma even though I know it's probably bad to go to sleep on a full stomach

You can try this:
Take a pen and notebook...write down all your feelings and talk to yourself and tell yourself that you're okay and everything will be alright, you are okay and you can go to sleep.... basically talk to your heart while you write it all down

Keep lights low....

I did this and felt more relaxed

Breathing exercises like box breathing are what I find helpful

the only thing that ever worked for me was antidepressants that also have insomnia killing properties
i rec looking into that deadass nothing else worked the whole no phone before bed is a lie

I heard it helps like an hour before you’re about to go to sleep to just put your phone down and like read a book or stretch so your mind can decompress and not have your thoughts running wild and also I heard like blackout curtains are also good so maybe you could try those too

Hey so I watch asmr videos on youtube, mostly the slime ones, the music used there just puts me to sleep. Will recommend momoslimes and ogslimes!

i read until im sleepy

Thank you guys for all the responses , I'll try them next time when I sleep

you should consider taking Zoloft for anxiety tbh! You should def go to a doctor if you are ruminating at night.
Magnesium glycinate is good too! and over the counter too!
i listen to white noise and try to focus on the sound of the noose and it clears my head. Or I pull up a guided meditation from youtube. One of my favorites is called bubble meditation, and it really helps you sleep. Anything that can help you visualize a scene to stop thinking about the now/future. When I was a lot younger before I started meds, listening to music and making a story about the songs in my head used to distract me and help me sleep lol. from, a psych doctoral student

Thanks for the advice
