Sleep

Try music that calms you down. Certain ASMR videos on youtube has helped me some during my bouts of insomina.

Benadryl and 1mg melatonin is the lowest risk medication for the problem.

In terms of behavior, waking up on time and staying awake until bedtime is usually the way to go. If you can do something before falling asleep that doesn't involve lights or noises that might help too.

I use flux and night mode to remove blue glow from my screens when the sun is down

I don't think ASMR really works for me It kinda irritates me, i don't like the noise usually, but I've fallen to sleep listening to music occasionally, I tried it last night however and it didn't work.

I haven't tried sleeping pills because my Mother and girlfriend say they cause problems I actually haven't looked into it myself

Maintain a consistent sleep schedule. The goal should be to get to a point where you go to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday. If one night you stay up an hour too late, that doesn't mean you should sleep an extra hour but rather you should get up at the normal time. The more varied your sleep and wake times, the harder it is to get to sleep and the worse you feel.

So to fix your sleep schedule, do this: establish the times that you'd like to be going to sleep and waking up at. Tomorrow morning, wake up at that time. Even if you only get an hour of sleep, just get up. Stay up all day and don't take any naps, then go to sleep at your established sleep time. It takes around three days to reset yourself to this new schedule

Okay I'll try this thanks for this advice

I gave more suggestions than just pills. I hope you sincerely try all of them. Melatonin supplements are new to the market but Benadryl is a light med of a class thats been around a long time.

Again do everything I said and I think you'll be kosher.

You have to evaluate if the risks of uh Benadryl and these new melatonin supplements outweigh the risks associated with insomnia.

Melatonin is all you really need and there's no side effects or downsides. It doesn't make you drowsy like a sleeping pill. It opens the door to sleep but it doesn't force you in. You could take a bunch of melatonin and run a marathon if you wanted to

I will be using your other advice, thank you. I might try the melatonin because I know that's the hormone released when you are actually tired, I'll see if I can get some thank you

Had similar problem until I started taking melatonin pills. I took only one pill 30 mins before I went to bed. Did this for about a month and I can say that it has helped me get back into a regular sleeping schedule. Haven't noticed any side effects other than finally feeling "rested" when I wake up in the morning.

Maybe get regular with the melatonin and Benadryl, then stick to the Benadryl alone, then try to transition into nothing. On a good sleep/wake schedule, melatonin supplements might not be necessary.
