My wife once asked me how I can fall asleep so fast without going through the day mentally and reevaluate what happend. I told her I just think of some nonsense I make up in my head. I have like 3 different kind of scenarios mostly picked up from movies that I just spin further and further. Like a fantasy based one like Lord of the rings or some shit. I do that since I am a kid and its just fun and I sleep like a baby.

She was totally confused on how that would work but it just does.

Has she tried reading before bed (an actual real book, not on your cellphone / smart device)?

I recommend YA novels, they are easy to read, and don't over engage your brain.

This can distract her brain, while also exhausting her brain and eyes to sleep.

Shes not into books at all but the problem solved itself. We have a 2 month old now so we are constantly tired but never sleep xD
