Thanks for expanding.
I definitely feel way better when I get adequate sleep so have cut down on caffeine and alcohol.
One issue that I have is screen time (due to job and general phone use) which can cause a bit of screen burn sometimes. Going to see if I can cut back on this and add some sleep tracking to get a bit more data.
If my brain would turn off, that’d be great.
Had insomnia pretty bad Sunday night. The trade off was that I was able to fall asleep for the night at 8 yesterday and got almost 10 hours.
Stoopid brain!!! Stop thinking!!!
Sup?
Me.
Am I the top poster in this thread?
Gettin’ close…
Feeling a lot better today after 9-10 hours of sleep following the 5 hour effort the night before.
I had to drive home today. 4th of July traffic is notoriously bad here, so I thought my 1.5 hour drive might turn into 2 - 2.5 hours. Turns out that when you wake up at 4 and can’t get back to sleep, the drive only takes 75 minutes. Rare insomnia win.
My feet are restless and the sheets feel weird.
At what point do I give up trying to sleep?
Almost the top poster in this thread.
It’d be nice to go to bed, fall asleep within 10 minutes, and sleep 7 hours straight.
That happened for me for the first time in ages the other night. Of course, when you go to bed by 9:30, the result is getting up at 4:30. I think that only happened because I was up around 3:30 the night before.
I take unisom, but I think it only really lasts about 4 hours for me, and I’ll often wake up and have another between 12:30 and 2:00. Doesn’t seem to carry over into any grogginess in the morning, although I do pretty well with antihistamines in general.
I have been supplementing with Magnesium gummies (easier to take for me) at night and its been helping a bit to make me fall asleep.
I think its the excessive screen time due to work that causes me to have insomnia.
I do not sleep well if I work after 7. Doesn’t seem to be a screen time issue as I can post here and use screens otherwise without a problem. I need time to disconnect my mind from the work stuff.
I fell asleep on the couch at 10pm. Now I can’t get my mind to shut off.
All this napping is throwing me off.
And I hafta take the garbage and recycling out at the 
crack of dawn.
