Cant sleep to lonely.
Ive been single a year in may. It doesnt affect my normal day but when i lay down for bed is when i am most aware of how alone i am. Its hard and i find my self thinking about my ex even though we dont speak anymore. I just want to sleep...

In these cases is good to do something relaxing to take your mind away from things. Here's some suggestions, use the ones you want:
1) Plan your next day. During the week is a bit hard to make stuff fun , but at least try to change routine a tiny bit and put an activity you might enjoy. And do the same specially on the weekends. This will help you to feel more motivated about the next day so you can think about it before you sleep, instead of feeding the thoughts about her;
2) Music. Choose some cool music you enjoy, specially if it's calm. whisper it to yourself if you want aswell;
3) Hot shower. It relieves your muscles and helps you clean your head so you have a fair start to the night;
4) If you see that you REALLY can't sleep take a sleeping pill based on herbs. I'm talking those all natural ones made from plants who have properties that make you sleep. They're usually ok , don't hurt your system, and once in a while is ok to take one to give your mind some rest.
p.s- Also it would be good to talk to someone about your feelings about this. After so long not sure if it's normal. Best of luck!
