It's getting really bad and taking a toll on me physically (mentally I'm doing well, thankfully).
I drink so much caffeine to cope but I am guessing that's just messing me up more later.
I take melatonin but I don't think it's working anymore. Benadryl makes me depressed the next day for some reason? CBD doesn't really work. A hot shower doesn't help. I have a weighted blanket 🧩 and weighted eye mask.
I am thinking of doing CBT for insomnia (really strict rules around sleep hygiene) but am scared bc it does involve a bit of sleep deprivation while adjusting (no naps allowed). I haven't been exercising much lately but maybe that will help.
Does anyone have any advice? Or something that will help me fall asleep tonight? :/ 100dc for each real suggestion.
Edit: wtf

Yeah, every so often I'll work way too hard during the day and by the time it's time to sleep my limbs hurt and I have trouble sleeping. When that happens a long hot bath with Epsom salts immediately before bed usually soothes me enough to fall asleep.
