Lie Still in Bed

While willpower may work for some people, what actually works for me (and i believe the majority of people) is self-deception or distraction.

To sleep, use white noise/rhythmic music/soothing voice

To climb a mountain, tell yourself that my next goal is to just reach that particular rock about 100 metres higher

In the gym, make a friend and chat and joke with them while doing your exercises

While sprinting, divide 32 by 13 to many decimal places, as Joey from Friends once suggested.

For me, to get good sleep, I need to have a surprising amount of exercise during the day and have tried hard at something so that I'm mentally tired. That plus not eating any calories at all for the 4 hours before bed and I'm pretty guaranteed to get good sleep.
