If you take a warm shower one to two hours before bedtime it will help you sleep because it will reduce your core body temperature.

I am new here again, so I am sorry for appearing from nowhereā¦ I have been in social isolation for years so it is hard for me to speak outā¦. but I just wanted to answer this since I know this answer from experienceā¦ I have had insomnia my whole lifeā¦ I have been up a full week now and when I get sleep again I will get no more than 2 hours in a 24 hr time. Itās always been that way tho days awake vary from one or two days to 11 to 13 being the record for me. But 2 hours is all I ever get to reset the insomnia again. I am not on any antipsychoticsā¦ I donāt do any drugs, donāt smoke or drink or anything. I am a schizophrenic that hallucinates in all 5 senses and never found anything to help with anything. Insomnia is a product of schizophrenia, tho the drugs can exacerbate insomnia at times, and it can be caused by other things, but Iāve been a schizophrenic my entire life and they said insomnia and chronic headaches are both because of schizophrenia.

Welcome.
Have you explored drugs and natural remedies for insomnia?
I take magnesium and melatonin which seems to help. Also the drug gabapentin.

They are the neurologist, psychologist and psychiatrist I had. That is what they told me. And research I have done tends to back them up.
And Iām 40 now, and only got disgnosed as an adult when I was like 30. They said I had it since childhood though since I was hallucinating and showed other symptoms even at 4 and 5.
I understand.
Thatās impressive.

Iād had a good run re initial insomnia, but itās reared its ugly head again. Itās difficult getting off to sleep with the buzz buzz buzz I keep hearing. Things are made worse because I keep dropping off to sleep during the day.
