Day 10 sober! Any tips for sleeping?

I suffer from insomnia so lamotrigene , and Ambien are the only things that work for me. All prescription of course

I have an organic chemistry book from college... That puts me to bed out of boredom.

Wake up early and exercise
It will help you sleep better

In early sobriety candy was my go to, chocolate specifically. The sugar crash helped to put me to sleep

Oh darling, if I had the answer to that I'd be asleep! Best of luck

What helped me was an intense workout like 2 hours before bed and a nice meal but some days it’s very hard even after that. You could try melatonin after your workout and food as well but I can’t stress enough that if you eat after your workout make sure it’s 2 hours beforehand. Eating raises core body temperature and depending on what you eat could possibly keep you awake as well. Do a good google search on natural foods that help you sleep. I really hope this helps and best of luck to you :muscle:
