Turn your phone off, do only non-stressful things and don't eat before bed, cover up all clocks in your bedroom, and yes, meditate. That's how you sleep better.
Of course people will disagree. Some have. Good for them.
For those of us that have less control over that situation (I'm a parent of young children; others may struggle with chronic illness or other interferences), more tools in the toolset are welcome.
Just like basically anyone with depression has tried most-to-all of the "if you're feeling down try this!" advice, those of us afflicted with insomnia have tried any "winding down" method you might casually inflict as low effort drive-by advice on the internet.
Yeah it works sometimes. Then some other times I just don't fall asleep that night and it messes up my whole week. So it goes.
Insomnia might be a medical condition, but that doesn't mean your doctor has a prescription for it. If they do, it probably comes with a bunch of advice similar to the conventional stuff you're tired of hearing.
My thoughts never stop.
