How do you cope with insomnia?

[El Goblina]

Can't sleep. Rare mood. Might as well funpost, right? But this isn't fun. Because I want to be asleep. And it's going to suck tomorrow. So how do I deal with this? It's so rare that IDEFK.

Had it since I can remember, never found sleep meds that worked. Kinda just got used to it, but now that I'm getting older, my ability to handle it is diminishing.

I wish I could help you think of something but I'm pretty tired. G'night, OP.

Marijuana is always good for a knockout punch.

I find getting by on little to no sleep easier as I've gotten older. The only meds that ever worked for me was diazepam but it took a long time to properly wake up afterwards. Alcohol and weed can knock me out, but I'll wake up after an hour or two and it'll be impossible to get anymore sleep.

Eating later in the day and taking a walk after my evening meal helped me a lot.

Have you thought about it being psychological?

I sleep.
But if I can't I end up just trying to do something productive until I'm tired again or it's time to wake up anyway.

I have the worst reaction to benzos lol. What I've been doing is having night mode on my screens and even avoiding screens in the last hour before bed
