Well, these days I'm finding it harder to fall asleep than usual, so I've been doing a few things to help me.

These past few days have been tough for the country, and even though I'm not at the epicenter of it all, it still affects me in a way. A few days ago, I fell asleep in the afternoon because I felt unwell and needed to rest.

I woke up with a start. My heart was racing, I felt like there had been an earthquake, so I jumped up abruptly.

It took me a few minutes to recover because I really felt awful, I had a terrible feeling of unease in my body, so getting up like that didn't help.

At night it's the same process; I often wake up like that because I'm afraid of an earthquake or tremor.

But, throughout all this, I've realized that my nighttime habits make a difference. Like, for example, the nightmares I might have or how long it takes me to fall asleep.

So I'm sharing with you some things I've been doing.

Writing a Journal

Well, it's not a journal; I haven't kept one since I was a child.

So I feel like it's more of a scrapbook. I write about some important events that I want to preserve.

I've thought about adding photos, even drawing a little in it.

This has been a 100/100 for falling asleep.

I do everything by hand, no screens at that hour. Which turns out to be an excellent way to fall asleep faster than usual.

Read, but be careful what you read

When I have nothing to write, I start reading. Right now I'm reading the prequel to The Hunger Games, called Dawn of the Reaping.

I haven't been able to find a physical copy, so I'm reading it on my phone.

About it...

• These kinds of books aren't the best for these situations because they don't relax you and make you think too much.

• Reading on your phone makes it harder to rest.

So my recommendation is to choose a book with a light theme. This really allows for positive thoughts.

On the other hand, physical books are the best option to guarantee a break from screens.

Choose programs that relax and calm you.

Instead of scrolling through social media, find a movie, a series, or something entertaining.

This is the best way to get a good night's sleep.

Lately, I've noticed how alarming and anxious watching the news at night makes me. So, I prefer to watch a series.

This way, my mind focuses on the show and not on the day's events.

Rest is also part of our mental health

What we are experiencing is an extremely overwhelming situation, so taking care of our mental health is also important. This includes what we do before going to sleep so we can rest.

It's not about forgetting, it's not about turning our backs on it. It's about resting, taking care of ourselves so we can help others. Because we achieve nothing if we ruin our health.

Rest allows us to be aware of our surroundings; it also helps us to offer our support to everyone who needs it.
