  • Summary

  • Have you ever tried really hard to fall asleep, only to end up wide awake and feeling more frustrated than ever?

    This happens because trying to force yourself to sleep makes sleeping harder.

    These things you do to make yourself sleep are called “sleep efforts,” and while they seem helpful, they usually don’t work.

    Sleep efforts include all kinds of things people do to make sleep come faster, such as:

    • Doing special bedtime routines
    • Using calming breathing or imagination exercises when lying in bed
    • Trying to make your bedroom perfect for sleeping
    • Taking sleeping pills
    • Changing or stopping things during the day in the hope of sleeping better at night

    You might think these things should help, but they often have the opposite effect.
