I had trouble sleeping for awhile. I got fed up and started doing something, i.e., cleaning, organizing, watching TV- then I was out within 30 minutes or less.

Can’t sleep? No shit. Me either. I used alcohol sometimes with the excuse of not being able to fall asleep. For me melatonin and Benadryl (not addictive) are about as sleep inducing as sugar. Alcohol is a depressant and the Hypersomia (can’t sleep) is a natural product of quitting.

Suggestions

  • good mattress and pillow
  • ANY 5 minute mediation through headphones before bed
  • sleep app (mine is “sleep genius”) but there are dozens

These are not sudden sleep pills but opportunities for developing a routine

And worst of all GET UP EARLY and exercise - don’t have to kill yourself / a walk is good, but maintain, above all else a wake up schedule
