    Bad habit, your brain needs a lack of talking heads when you sleep.

    If silence doesn’t work for you, try something with steady noise. Some use white noise generators, for me it’s the whir from an air purifier.

      This is ideal, some people can’t shut off the voice in their head, so the next best thing to silence is listening to someone else who isn’t talking about whether you’ll find a job tomorrow or a boyfriend or ask about that growth you just noticed on your leg…

        Yep can confirm. The best thing is having a calm voice talk about something I don’t care about, so the voice in my head shuts up and I can sleep

      Background noise can really help people with PTSD sleep through the night. Give it a go if this applies to you
