It's hard to break habits like using the computer when you're up late- no judgement here.

When I was having serious sleep issues the TV was drawing me in big time and making matters worse. It took being in the psych hospital to get on a regular schedule, and it just stuck. I obviously don't recommend going that route.

Thankfully, your sleep problems don't seem to rise to the level that mine were at then. I think that you can benefit from trying any or all of the suggestions here when problems do arise. I'm glad that the klonopin helps most nights :hug::hug::hug:

If you try the ASMR videos or any of the relaxation sounds online, it's good idea to be in a dark quiet area, have a comfortable chair so you can relax in it, no other distractions, like tv or phone. Many suggest headphones if you have them.
My computer is in a small quiet room so I can listen without using headphones..
It's mainly to limit any other sounds or distractions..

ASMR - That's what that head tingling is - The ASMR Lab

I experience a relaxing tingling in my scalp, and the back of my neck often. I have always believed that it was a blessing, or someone praying for me. It's a wonderful feeling. I feel like something good is happening to me when I feel this sensation. It happens when you don't expect it. It just happens. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Kay Oh yes. It's a positive feeling that is unexplainable. It does not happen every day. Sometimes I feel it more then other times over a period of days. It's like a cooling, tingling sensation that is very gentle. I think that this is helping me when it happens. It's like a divine touch. I didn't notice it until I was in my thirties.

I hope you have peaceful, refreshing sleep tonight Bizi.

I have issues with this too, it's an ongoing issue for me. It makes me irritable during the day especially when people behave like A holes.
