To think I can train myself to not be a light sleeper?

[SunFlowerRose]

I have always been a really light sleeper. Added to this I struggle to sleep anywhere other than my own bed, alone.

This means if I go on holiday or stay at a hotel I get barely any sleep.

I’m now in a relationship and either have to not stay over, or sleep in his spare room. Otherwise I lie away all night unable to sleep.

How can I train myself to be able to share a bed? To not be kept awake by gentle breathing or movement?

I’ve had the idea of playing white noise when I go to bed in my own bed, alone, in hopes to train myself to fall asleep to the noise.

Because then if I play it at his house my body will sleep. Right?

I’m really hoping to hear some positive stories with this..

I’m a light sleeper. Blackout blinds and ear plugs work for me.

The other thing that really helps me to drop off is if I silently talk to myself quietly and calmly. This was a tip from a hypnotist and I know it sounds weird but it really works for me.
