Insomnia thread

I want to be asleep so bad.

What helps you get to and then remain asleep Veeky Forums?

Melatonin Extra Strength 5mg Timed Release

A normal schedule

Magnesium (not magnesium oxide, though it's a little bit better than nothing).

sometimes i have to sleep very strange hours for work. like i'll be doing day shift for a long time then they're like oh i need you to work a few nights and you have 8 hours between now and the start of your shift so yeah.

diphenhydramine (benadryl)

melatonin

magnesiun

valerian root

sleepytime tea

it works for me usually :/

Not withdrawing from a heavy weed habit like I am right fucking now. Turn off lights they said. Read a book, they said. Take a hot shower, they said. Use a blue light filter, they said. FUCK EM, THEY LIED

Legitimate answer: melatonin

Went through a seriously bad bout of insomnia which lasted about 6 weeks, i pretty much had to ride it out and keep telling myself i would get back to normal... things that helped - A routine, wake up, go to work, to go gym, relax, go to bed, repeat. 5 HTP works wonders on improving mood and helping sleep, and yeah having a night filter on phone, laptop etc and only using bedroom to sleep pretty much with the expception of chillin for a few hours in there once and a while.... But trust me when i say this, my insomnia was chronic and im now beginning to get my sleep (and life) back on track, just takes time

shot of nyquil

underrated so hard

my sleep schedule gets fucked when my gf visits because my body isn't used to another person in bed. the following 5 days is a fucking nightmare trying to reset my schedule. i'm up at 6am typing this because while i'm very tired i know it'll take me 90min+ to actually fall asleep. i fucking hate getting knocked off my circadian rhythm

i don't know how the NEETs do it, sleeping at shit like 7am-4pm then 2am-1pm the next day
