So, I remind myself that simply lying in bed is restful too. It releases me from the counterproductive sense of urgency that can develop. I can usually work in a quick cat nap the next day that is pretty restorative. I also recommend what others here have advised; relaxation exercises, meditation, no caffeine in the pm. Cheers!

A friend suggested taking melatonin before bed. I have just started taking it, and I've stopped drinking coffee after 2 pm. Seems to be helping. Good luck! I have this problem too.

Do some yoga and read a book before bed. This will get your mind off "stuff" and focus on something else. Hope this helps! Love this boudoir!!

I do know that feeling, and I hate when my mind races and simply won't turn off. My dad insists that tensing and relaxing your muscles starting at your feet and working your way up helps, but it only does it sometimes for me. Sometimes reading helps me (unless I get really into the book and don't want to put it down...) but I've yet to discover something that is fool-proof. You'll have to let me know if you find something that works well :) Oh- and that bedroom is beautiful, and I love both the chair options you selected!! xo Oh, no Kylie!

I don't sleep well especially when my head won't calm down enough to relax. I had a boss that called it "the committee is meeting". As in, "The committee was meeting all night last night so I didn't sleep a wink". Honestly, sometimes a little Tylenol PM works wonders (not every night though)! Ugh, I know how you feel.
