I took unisom for a week to avoid jet lag while traveling, and now I'm off it completely to not become dependent... And boy is it difficult to get even two good night's sleep in a row. Any tips on consistently sleeping better when you're trying to get off sleep aids?

(my sleep history this week: the one big night in the middle was the night I got back from the trip, and every night after that I haven't taken it)

Lol, I switched from unisom to delta 8 gummies and I sleep like a baby. Attached pic is from my brother and I comparing REM Gainz on said gummies compared to normal sleep.

I guess you can consider those other days on my chart as my example of non-aided sleep. Not terrible, but not as stellar.

In the name of full disclosure: if you don’t know, delta 8 is just THC. You will fail a drug test if you take them. It’s essentially weed.

But good weed. That makes you sleep like a baby. A baby with weed.

Ya know I regularly use aids and then don’t. And haven’t figured out the trick. Sure, you can exhaust yourself. But ultimately, I think it’s just life lol. The longer you get from your last sleep aid use, the easier it gets.

She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.

Does anyone know why I lose more weight when I eat 2000 calories vs when I eat 1200 calories? For reference, I am currently 5’7 F and 128 lbs. I cannot work out for another month due to an expiring CPA exam so I am definitely losing muscle mass.

When I calorie count, I account for every little thing such as the vegetable oils or the tbs of salt. The 1200 calories is usually an extremely large meal + fruits + soup. The 2000 calories is usually a meal from a restaurant + fruits + a sandwich.
