Depending on how you feel about medications, talk to your doctor about seroquel! It works wonders for me at a small dose and doesn't get me high or change my headspace

Same here, I am only a little over 2 weeks in this sobriety…. And I am having the same thing…. Some nights only 2 hours of sleep

I take Olly gummies and they help. I’ll get up at 6am so I’ll be able to sleep at night. I go to the gym or take walks to wear myself out. Then I’ll read before bed and limit screen time and that does it.

I had to get a prescription. I am very active throughout the day but still had trouble sleeping. I tried a bunch of over the counter stuff but it only works temporarily and they also gave me crazy dreams(which was fun at first). I take 50mg of Hydroxyzine every night and get a good 6-8 hours of sleep. I hate relying on it but it works for now. I LOVE my sleep.

I struggle with sleep and I am an active person and spend a couple hours in the gym after work every day. High vibration music helps me to keep going back to sleep.

In my past past experience, it helped if I worked out at a HIIT gym at 5am. Then I was always tired by 10.

Yeah melatonin is good. And chamomile tea together. Everybody loves Raymond soothes me too. I know it's weird but works for me.
