I am on video chats and IMing all day at work and now my friends and family want to do video calls and happy hours in my downtime. I just want to unplug, but I don’t want to be rude.

Any tips on insomnia? I have trouble falling and staying asleep. I was up till 4am last night and 3am the night before and here I am wide awake again (and i’m not on my phone the whole time, i’ll pick it up after a couple hours bc I’m so bored). It doesn’t help that my husband can literally fall asleep in seconds and snores so loud. He is even sleeping in the guest room tonight bc I have an impt meeting in morning but I still can’t fall asleep. Even took a melatonin a couple hours ago. Help!!!

One year ago this weekend my mother was dying of Covid 2000 miles away from me.
