I always count, I will think of someone's birthday in the future and then count to it to work out what day of the week it is on - usually don't get there before I've fallen asleep.

I concentrate on a childhood walk I used to do with my Mum, and imagine it as best I can. I miss my Mum and I miss my home town so I enjoy doing this...... but I never get to my destination. smile

Ok, this is the situation ( and its mad, but it works )
So, whenever i wake at some unearthly hour, my tactic to getting BACK to sleep is this... ( and THIS is the 'mad' bit ) i focus 100% on a face, i dont allow my mind to wander to literally anything and everything, i just sorely concentrate on a face and it works.... THE FACE IS DONALD TRUMP !!!

I know, i know, i know ! Its a wonder it doesnt have the opposite effect of keeping me wide awake nevermind allowing me to drift off to peaceful slumber !!!

So, my question is, how do you obtain peaceful slumber?
