So I dont actually know if i have full blown insomnia (i probably dont) but have had a lot of problems, around a few months ago i got so fed up i decides to implement CBTI and it greatly improved my sleep quality (duration decreased tho), however i do smtms still have sleep trouble and anxiety

I am a student so I just study a bit extra, or smtms lately i have been binging the interviews solomon nelson does with lyle mcdonald lol I am prepping for an exam so dont rlly have any frnds in the traditional sense as of now, so stuff like that helps :) :)

I wonder what u guys do when u cant sleep

Nighttime, like right now, I’ve given up on bed for now. I go enjoy the night a little and go for a drive. If I don’t drive maybe journal or work on art on the iPad for a bit. The key is for me to leave my bed, and when I go back to it it’s like being fresh into bed and I might catch the sleep wave.

I also consider past 3am struggles to be in the range of getting as high as I can in cannabis til I get eepy and go to sleep.

Oh and daytime sucks typically. Nap where I can if possible. Cancel my mental to dos and recalibrate based on my energy levels. I’ll typically just have a day and will forget a bit that I hadn’t slept. Later in the day and evening it becomes very apparent I haven’t slept and that’s all I really want by then.
