Im gonna loose my f***ing mind. I lay there and close my eyes for f***ing 5 hours every night and just never fall asleep.

What the f*** do i do

Are you currently taking any stimulants

Try chamomile tea at night

melatonin

Have you hearing voices yet?

Happened to me like 2 weeks ago when I was watching too many conspiracy/unsolved mystery videos.

just stay up till you get really tired and then sleep. Simple

Take an all nighter

I've been on opium for the last ten days...

you tried melatonin?

i took melatonin once and it made me stay up literally all night f*** that lmao

Diphenhydramine syrup can be purchased at any 7/11. knocks me out in 10-15 minutes. don't take too much though, it f***s ur memory up.

normally Id s*** on you for using "loose" when you meant "lose" but you haven't been sleeping so ill give you a pass

nah f*** melatonin that s*** gives me sum f***ed up dreams

Tryptophan > Melatonin

Gotta lay off of that s***. It f***s people's minds up and radicalizes them.

Damn bruh I been sleeping for like 10 hours plus. I usually fall asleep at like 4:30 am 5 am and wake up at 4-5 pm I gotta get on my s*** lmao

If it continues I would highly recommend seeing a psychologist who specializes in sleep as long as they take your insurance.

Possibly get a sleep study done to rule out sleep apnea.

Don't use your phone or any electronic device for at least an hour before getting in bed. If you must use your phone, buy blue light glasses.

Another very high possibility is that the heat is keeping you up as the summer just started. You say its been 10 days since your insomnia started, so this may not be a coincidence that it just recently started getting hot. Make sure you have air conditioning in your room or at least a very strong fan. My insomnia becomes much worse in the summer almost every year.

Do not drink caffeine at least 6 hours before going to bed. Exercising in the afternoon can also have a positive impact on sleep quality although I'm guessing your insomnia is more deeply rooted than being caused by a lack of exercise.

Make sure you are sleeping with no light whatsoever coming into your room. Get blackout curtains. This is very important especially if you go to sleep really late/wake up late. Your circadian rhythms will become fkd if you're trying to sleep with light coming into your room.

What is your current sleep pattern? The most common cause of insomnia is a disrupted sleep pattern. You should be trying to be as consistent as possible with waking up in the morning at the same time and going to bed at night at the same time.

I need more info from you @op if you want a more in depth answer.

Although some of the answers in this thread mean well, a lot of them are negligible. Drinking tea at night is not going to cure your insomnia, you need to take more aggressive measures.

Nice some good advice here @op
The chamomile tea is more to calm him before bed tho.
Not gonna make u fall asleep but yeah

Watch asmr videos, they always make me sleep

Something that did wonders for me is the following:

Instead of working till the night and forcing your brain to shut down.

You need to make it a transition, so about two hours before you sleep do something relaxing like watching tv.

And your brain will transition there

Get a night job & sleep during the day

miss out on life essentially lmao
