Couldn’t Fall Asleep

I had trouble sleeping and dealt with insomnia for years when I was younger. They said not to watch tv before bed because that can get your mind racing, I found that to be more relaxing for me. There was a time when I couldn fall asleep without the tv on but eventually I broke the habit. I had to force myself not to turn on the tv and however long it took me to fall asleep it didn’t matter, I just didn’t turn it on anymore. I would stay up half the night some nights which was a problem. Slowly but surely I didn’t need the tv anymore and was falling asleep on my own accord.
