If you have trouble falling asleep or have racing thoughts [View all]

I found something that really helps me. I read the other day that you should go through the alphabet and name as many words as you can that start with each letter. I did that for a few nights, and it really helped.

But the last two nights, I've taken it up a bit and have gone through the alphabet identifying words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings - like seen and scene, road and rode, prophet and profit. It's really fun and helps me fall asleep and stay asleep.

If you are having sleep issues, you might want to give it a try.
