I often offer this advice, because I'm a sleeping champion: Find a comfy position, however you would normally sleep, close your eyes, breath deeply as though you were sleeping. Let your mind do it's thing. It doesn't need to shutup. You just need to stay still with your eyes closed. YOU WILL SLEEP. If you wake up early, adjust a little, into a comfy position, stay there with your eyes closed.

The main mistakes people make are that they relent against their active brains. SHUTUP! That's not the problem. Let your mind wander. Worrying about what your mind is doing won't help.

Lay still, eyes closed. That simple.

Most of the people that I know that don't get a regular, healthy night sleep are complete fucking failures at life.

Only the outliers seem to ever get any recognition. A handfuful of world leaders like Trump or Thatcher are known to sleep a lot less than normal, but no one ever bothers mentioning the overwhelming majority of successful leaders that do get 8 hours sleep a night.

I tend to wake up in the middle of the night for a few hours.

Yeah and eating an enormous breakfast with Kellogg's cereal is critical to a productive day at school. Fucking bullshit.

I get on average 4-6 hours. Insomnia gives me a lot of free time.

wasn't there a study that said "less hours of sleep makes depressed people less depressed"?
