Hi there Veeky Forums
Uni student here, doing first year med at otago in NZ so obviously under a relatively high amount of stress. My whole life pretty much revolves around gym and study, which I'm fine with because I'm getting good results, but
>why can't I sleep?
Been to a fucking councillor (REEE IM NOT AUTISTIC REEE) for it but I just can't sleep. Everything's pointing to anxiety (I get short of breath before certain things, like deadlifting and pull ups) but I don't feel overtly anxious - It's not like I lie awake worrying about my work - my mind just wanders around. It's been an issue for a while but for the last couple weeks I've been getting around 6 hours a night and I'm fucking exhausted constantly. Moreover I'm scared it's gonna affect my gains soon, and I don't wanna injure myself I'm so close to a 4plate deadlift.
I've tried the mindfullness breathing bullshit for several nights with no results, no noises/lights in my room, no screens for 2 hours before bed, etc. but nothings working. I'm honestly so fucking sad
What does Veeky Forums reccommend? I'm honestly desperate at this point. Hoping councillor puts me on sleep meds soon so I can just fucking s l e e p
tl;dr help me sleep
