Having trouble falling asleep? You're not alone. Many people turn to the age-old technique of counting sheep when they can't sleep. This simple mental exercise can help relax your mind and body, making it easier to drift off to sleep.
Counting sheep works by providing a repetitive, low-stimulation activity that occupies your mind just enough to prevent it from wandering to more stressful thoughts. This can help slow down your racing thoughts and create a meditative state conducive to sleep.
