My husband had/has bad insomnia.
Two things really helped.
A specific routine and a sleep aid.
If you keep the same routine every night,
Your body knows when to start shutting your mind down.
And he uses a sleep aid.
Honestly I don’t know how much it works.
I think he’s getting more of a placebo effect from it now more than anything.
Anyway, you need to get yourself on a schedule.
I’ve read your posts and your habits are all over the place.
Stay in a routine and things will get easier.

It’s the damn pits.
Been done had it since like 5 years old or so.
It’s been off and on of getting decent sleep after a cycle of getting poor sleep for like a week or more.
I tried to get a decent routine going but it didn’t stick because you need a proper supportive environment - which I don’t have.
Sometimes I just come to a place of acceptance about it and it at least calms me down so it doesn’t become super anxiety-inducing.

I’m my own worst enemy
I sometimes take ativan and melatonin.
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

I have insomnia too.
It’s so horrible.
I’ve had it since I was a child.
I remember not being able to sleep at all all night and having to go to school without sleep when I was nine or so that happened a lot.
I sometimes listen to guided sleep meditation.of YouTube.
I don’t think it helps me sleep as such but it’s positive affirmations so that’s good.
I take imovane for sleep but sometimes I’ll only sleep two hours on it and sometimes then I’ll take another one and sleep another couple hours.
I try to have a night with out regularly so i don’t become addicted.
Then they stop working yet you need them to keep anxiety away just.
My friend n x takes two imovane every night.
That’s max dose I think unless your in hospital .
Wishing us all beautiful great sleep.
