Everything they said, with the addition that falling asleep fast is a skill that takes practice to get good at. Even if you don’t fall asleep, laying down for 15 minutes can still be good for you. It allows your body to relax.

As for your mind, I’ve found that letting it wander and not trying to control it helps me get to sleep faster. Even if I’m thinking about things that stress me, if I let my mind go on its own, eventually it’ll go off the path and start thinking dreamy things. Next thing I know, I’m waking up.

No matter what works for others, it still takes practice.
