Think about how to make the next day better: Most of us are often in the habit of taking the stress and the losses of the day to bed with us such that we go to bed feeling depressed and sad about how the day was such a failure. Sometimes all you really need to do is be hopeful that several things can be done to make sure that the next day is far better. The thought of fixing what couldn’t be fixed today tomorrow relaxes the mind and gives room to fast and quick sleep.
