Busy,
I would start preparing to settle down 2 hours ahead of bedtime.
My routine consisted of being very judicious of what I watched on tv..nothing scary or saddening which I was easily susceptible to being scared or tears back then.
Earplugs to reduce noise and unnecessary sounds.
A cup of Chamomile tea. Not a tea fan but that was soothing.
I think it is important to avoid getting anxious over being awake when everyone else in the house is snoozing like normal. Being able to lay peacefully has a good deal of rest involved with it as well.
Sleep eventually returned at its own pace, but when I was in the middle of it I believed that I would never sleep again. Happy to be wrong!
