Sleep aides

When sleep eludes me, as it often does, i find it necessary to preform these "sleep aides", natural actions that require minimal movement and produce maximum calming effects

-reading (currently it is "The Handmaid's Tale, Eqqus, and sometimes a few poems by Oscar Wilde. I am one of those people who reads multiple books at once, i like it spicy, you can just read one)
-listening to This American Life (really TAL is good anytime, but i find Ira Glass' voice particularly suited for enveloping me with warmth, nostalgia, and journalistic integrity)
-Classical music on vinyl( and then when i wake up there is this gentle and repetitive scratching, but it isn't hostile, its familiar)
-quietly thinking about what good came of your day, you always find something
