Eliminate the things in your life that are causing your stress. At least that is often my problem...brain won't turn off if I have too much to do (stress that I should be working or parenting or whatever).

Take on fewer projects or clients. Finish one more thing before heading home. Give yourself a reward for meeting a goal. Schedule time with those people that you may feel you are neglecting.

I take Advil PM 2-4 times per week to make sure I stay asleep for a full night (my insomnia is waking up and not falling back asleep). I know you don't want a pill option, but it works. The other nights I don't take anything and normally sleep ok (but I've learned to listen to my inner stress levels for poor rest nights).

And diet and exercise can be a big factor...but that's an easy and boring answer.

Nope. SSRI Antidepressants help me regulate my abnormal sleep/wake cycle. Having a very strict bedtime routine helps A LOT: get in bed around 8:30-9pm and read something that’s not that interesting for about an hour. Then watch tv until you pass out

Meditation, I recently went to a yoga class that had an hour long meditation and was able to relax so much easier.

Melatonin

You need to see several doctors to find out the cause: psychologist, psychiatrist, primary care, get blood work done, etc. find out if the cause is psychological or physical. Some vitamin deficiencies can cause insomnia. Few years ago I had vitamin D deficiency &, very severe insomnia- I started taking unisom every night before I knew the cause. Got hooked on it and couldn’t sleep without it

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
