Insomniacs Do tell your ways... >Clonazepam (2-4mg), Melatonin

Mastrubation helps in my case.

Maybe your hands do miracles, care to help?
jk, got other tips bro?

>>18020973
Ambien. Regular schedule. No caffeine through the day. Exhausting myself with exercise. No laptop or phone before bed.

>>18020990
Eat a big meal before bed with glass of milk. Then pass out with TV on, I.e. vaguely watch it and pass out I find something you've already seen but like to be best to watch?

1003 here in that case I would say make sure you are full before trying to sleep. I stress the glass of milk. Music works as long as on quiet. Works with a movie you've seen also. Books sick you in too much unless you've read before possibly sometimes that can tire you out though. With music ensure the head or earphones don't irritate you ears too much when on your side or only have one in on the side not on the pillow. Hope this helps bud.

Me again also on average it takes people 7 minutes to fall asleep. Don't dwell on this and constantly check the clock though as will keep you up

>>18021047
sound advice, will give it a shot
thanks again man
>>18021051
I check the clock when it's been too long and it's usually 1-2 before going out to work
shit sucks

>>18021026
let me dive in, I'll be back

Alex Gray, good stuff.

Sleep hygeine. Bed is restricted to sleep only. No electronics, no TV, no reading. If you don't sleep for 20 minutes, get up and do something else for a little bit. Keeping the bed exclusively for sleep means that your brain starts to associate it exclusively with sleep.

Exercise is good for tiring you out but make sure that you stop any exercise at least 2 hours before bed.

You're supposed to also avoid electronics for at least 1 hour before bed, but honestly that's a pain. If you do use electronics, use them in a dark room and use a screen dimmer app. Bring the app down to as low of a brightness as you can while still being able to view it comfortably. If possible also use one that gives the screen a yellow tint, as blue light in particular is what wakes you up the most.

I listen to music when I can't sleep because it keeps me relaxed and not stressing out about the fact that I can't sleep.

Marconi Union has a song called Weightless 1 that is deemed one of the most relaxing songs in the world. The whole album is pretty good for that.
Sometimes, though, I want something a little more engaging. If so, I listen to Nigel Stanford.

Let me also suggest sleep headphones. Those have been a lifesaver for me. They's small and flat and rest within a headband.

Even the tiniest of earbuds still caused pain after a while if I lay on my side. Sleep headphones prevent that.

zolpidem, ativan?

plus maybe some asmr.

it's a cheesy adv but try to get as tired as you can and eat before going to sleep.
I am sorry, I know how insomnia sucks.
