Insomnia general

Okay, I've basically no sources other than myself but it worked for me..

I used to have the same symptoms and I found out that if I stopped and gave myself a pause, my mind would automatically start to do this shit. So I took a few mintues everyday and I sat down somewhere quiet and did nothing, No phone,No Internet, No music, No reading, no shitting, nothing.

My mind would wander over some anxiety inducing bullshit but after that I'd have good sleep.

Tl;DR Take some time off to proccess your day and good sleep will return.

Sounds like anxiety attacks. Make sure you get plenty of exercise and eat well, water etc don't drink too much alcohol. Try reading a book before bed. If none of this works you may need medication if its effecting your day to day life.

I'm the same OP. I'll wake up early morning around 7-8, have a full day including lifting and cardio, and every night I have to lie in bed for at least 5 hours before I pass out.
I get anxious even getting into bed because I know there's so much time of doing fucking nothing before I can sleep. Tried reading, music, listening to podcasts, watching movies, sleeping pills, sitting in pitch black with no distractions whatsoever. Just can't hack sleeping.

Try mindfullness meditation.
Shit works.

Usually lie in bed for 2-3 hours before falling asleep, also usually wake up after an hour or two. Recently started basic meditation before sleeping and I think it's helping. Too early to tell though.

>The thing is I feel very tired and sleepy, but as soon as I close my eyes my heart and mind start racing.
Literally me. As soon as i close my eyes grim thoughts come to my head, im sweating, i feel that im in danger.

Seems like a good idea. I also have idea of writing a journal just before bed, where I write every thought that comes in my mind, just to get it out of me, so I'm calmer. But for some reason I always forget or feel to lazy to do it.

I can't concentrate on anything. Maybe I will be focused for 2 minutes, but then I will find myself drifting away, living in the past. I never feel present, I am always somewhere else, so that might be reason why I can't sleep.

quick-and-dirty solution:
>Acquire marijuana (indica strain)

this sounds silly but, try imagining a fictional world anon. try to organize it in depth and if you want, add characters.

really helps me calm my nerves. at some point, i'll get sick of thinking and drift off

i wish for the best

That's literally the only way I can get to sleep. My dad's had really bad insomnia his entire life, so I think this is genetic. My dad's got his sleeping pills, I have my bud.
