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

Don't sleep in under any circumstance, exercise in the morning, no caffeine after 3 PM.
Another big one is only use your bedroom for sleeping, if you hangout in your bed stop. No tv in the bedroom no scrolling or thinking in bed. Only thoughts of sleep should be associated with bedtime.
I used to have problems falling alseep, these helped. I have the same rule for when I'm on travel, stay outta my hotel room until bedtime. If I have work to do on the computer I find a bar or coffee shop.
