Anyone deal with Insomnia? Difficulty falling asleep as I can't put my mind to rest, and have been falling asleep around 2/3am lately. I always plan on sleeping earlier but can't. Any advice?

I have found that writing down everything I’m thinking about, free form, helps stop the thoughts from spinning around in my head.

If I can’t sleep I grab a pen and paper or open the notes app on my phone.

Insomnia is really frustrating. I’m sorry you’re dealing with it OP. Good luck!

True, some people get a hypnotic effect, but they are mild and actually therapeutic in matters other than insomnia

Meditation apps (I like Insight Timer), cbd oil, valerian root, herbal tea have worked for me

Okay, thank you!

Benadryl.

Most effective, safest, sleep aid I’ve found.

Try sleep aids like melatonin, zzzquil, Advil PM... also CBD oil has worked wonders as well.

Get a prescription drug

Okay, thank you everyone!

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.

I’ve been trying to figure out dosage and medication over the past month and wanted some insight from people who may have more experience with diff doses.

I’m now on 15 mg Adderall, but it feels like I can’t concentrate and I’m scattered. Question in comments:
