You should also avoid anything that will be likely to stress you out and make you more worried at night in general, such as last-minute homework or a serious conversation.
Avoid doing anything that will make you more afraid or anxious, such as watching the nightly news or a violent television show. It can be drinking chamomile tea, listening to classical music, or cuddling with your cat. Focus on thinking about your body and breath only and banishing all anxious thoughts from your mind. Sit down and focus on the breath rising in and out of your body as you relax your body parts, one at a time. Getting yourself in the most restful mindset possible can help you ease the anxiety you feel when the lights turn out. Running from 10am Pacific on Monday June 29th, and lasting until July 31st at 10am PST, WINTER’S EMBRACE makes the harsh Winter environment of Great Bear Island even harsher, with: Average world temperature is reduced by 10 degrees Celsius. You’ll need to work on shutting off all electronic devices at least half an hour before bed, avoiding caffeine after noon or so, and doing something nice and relaxing, whether you read for a little while or listen to some soft music. We’re excited to share our new month-long event in The Long Dark. One way to help yourself get over your fear of the dark is to make sure to give yourself enough time to wind down before you go to bed.
