Progressive Muscle Relaxation has helped me big time for sleep. Also helps to do when you feel that panic/anxiety attack coming.

I used to have this boombox as a kid and my mom light me this CD called “techniques for restful nights” to help me sleep cuz I had juvenile panic and anxiety disorders :) it PAVLOV’D ME and all I had to do was put it on and I was asleep in 15 minutes tops.

“Pavlov’d Me” LMAO 🤣! That sounds like it worked amazing! I’d almost take some sort of hypnosis to put me to sleep on a cue like a song! Does it still work?

Awesome thanks so much! I’ll give it a shot! 🙏

I bet you can find it on YouTube or file hosting site lol. It had a progressive muscle relaxation exercise with a nice masc voice, and then a mental guided relaxation with a silky fem voice and it was incredible.

Found the info on tagtuner, good luck.

I had a specific song I played for my daughter “life and death” by Paul Cardall. It was a song that would play all the time on the Lost Series that we would watch while I was pregnant. It was the only song that would put her to sleep from birth til about 10 years old. Pavlov’d 😊

I use it when my mind goes circular when falling asleep. You need to visualize the word. It takes time but the random thoughts are dreamlike so I fall asleep. Better than medicating yourself and it costs nothing.

Yes and a very efficient technique for those that need it
Cognitive Shuffling is used in all sorts of situations to ease Cognitive Distortion, not just sleep patterns

I use song lyrics from a couple of songs I find soothing (and deliberately memorized for this purpose).

Remembering every word and what the music sounds like is engrossing enough to keep my focus but calming because I don't use emotionally charged songs.

It works better for me than anything else.

You know what will ease my brain? WHEN YOU REPORT ON THE FUCKERY THAT AGENT ORANGE IS COMMITTING ON A MINUTE BASIS!

I can say this works for me quite well when I go through bouts of insomnia or just invasive thoughts.

maryhilt.bsky.social•13 days ago

This technique actually works!

I take one relatively simple word and try to figure out words come from each letter.

bi-thany.bsky.social•13 days ago

That just sounds like mindfulness meditation with a new name.
