    For the last 35+ years, I've told myself a sexual story as I laid down to sleep. I typically continue the story until I fall asleep. I actually thought about writing porn, but I would've been to embarrased and ashamed if anyone knew. Anyway, I want to stop watching porn, and I'm certain this habit needs to go. The problem is, I don't know how to sleep any other way.

    Hello,

    I have been struggling with my sleep in the past. Here are some things I do to optimize my sleep:

    - No caffeine after 5pm
    - Wearing blue light glasses after dinner
    - No phone 1 hour before going to bed
    - 10 minute meditation before bed (still experimenting with this)
    - Take magnesium 1 hour before bed
    - Exercise in the morning or early in the evening.

    These are all great things to help you fall asleep faster, and to help you sleep deeper. But it is not the answer to your question. The internal thing I like to do before going to bed is the following. I have been developing my own medieval fantasy world in my head. I have been doing this for over 4 years now, and I must say it is HBO worthy now. It is a mix of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Vikings and some other fantasy series/books, combined with my own imagination. When I want to sleep, I just ‘escape’ to this other world, and before I know, I fall asleep. Maybe you can develop something similar as a sleeping hack for yourself? I do not know what kind of non-sexual stuff you like, but it can be anything. Since you already have proven you have a creative mind by telling yourself sexual stories, creating a new one could not be that hard. Simply replacing one habit with another :)

    Good luck.
