       @efi focusing on sleep always makes me frustrated and never works. I need to be as unfocused as possible.

       @Rasp no, don't focus on sleep, focus on relaxing your muscles and on things that are not problems you have to solve

       @Rasp I used to have trouble falling asleep. Then, thanks to my tinnitus, I started wearing a Bluetooth enabled sleep mask and played a specific mix of white noise when I went to sleep. Otherwise, I'd be up all night annoyed by the ringing that wouldn't go away.Over time, I've noticed that I seem to have trained my brain. When it hears that mix of white noise, it realizes it is bedtime and I go to sleep relatively quickly. I Pavlov-ed myself into getting to sleep better.
