I try to go to bed at 7 every day and take as much melatonin as I can stand, but sometimes that's just not enough.
I'm going to try taking 100mg of melatonin to see if that gets me some rest. I've been googling insomnia treatments but can't find anything that works. 
If anyone has a tip of what works for them I'd love to hear your ideas. |
I'm pretty insomnia-prone if I'm not careful. One thing that was really helpful for me is treating my bed as a sacred space only for sleeping and ****ing. No reading, browsing, or chilling in the bed so that your mind gets accustomed to falling asleep there. If I need to lay down but don't want to sleep, I'll hit the couch or do floor stretches instead.
