How Do You Overcome Homesickness At Night?
• Pack something special you might like and that will remind you of home, such as a teddy bear, pictures, pillow, or a blanket. • Plan a time to call your parents before bed, so you can continue any rituals you might usually have before you go to sleep. • Stay busy. If you do that, you won’t miss people as much. When you finally go to bed, hopefully you’ll be exhausted and fall right asleep. If not, try not to think about them. Try to think of how much fun you had. • If you’re an adult, pack a photo or call home. Try not to call too late. • Think about next morning! It’s just a night, the time will pass. Think of what you plan to do the next morning! • If you can’t get to sleep, listen to an iPod, relaxing music or a free downloaded meditation. Simply find a friend that has the same problem as you.
