Did you get your paper done yet Dog?

 

Every day I've been waking up in the middle of the night wide awake. And every day that time is earlier and earlier. Woke up at 11:30pm thinking it'd be like 4am. Nooope. Now I won't be able to sleep forever and when I finally do I'll be tired af when my alarm goes off. Being a functioning human is deceptively difficult.

 

Pills help. It’s how I sleep.

 

I tried melatonin the last few nights but I thought maybe that's why I was waking up randomly. Except I didn't take any tonight and I still woke up. My therapist suggested the thing where u like clear ur mind and journal/draw or whatever? But I fall asleep fairly easily so I never get around to it before bed. I guess I could do it now but like meh too lazy to look for those materials in my dumpster fire of a room.

 

You might want to try valerian root? As far as I know (or have heard. Could be bullshit lol) that’s better for staying asleep whereas melatonin is better for falling asleep?

 

I've never tried melatonin, I use diphenhydramine hcl, lol. take it an hour before sleep and i'm out for a min of 5 hours. Otherwise i toss and turn in anxiety as my brain combs over my ever-growing list of failures.

 

I will look into these things. I've been working a ridic amount and am fairly stressed and I think my routine is thrown off just enough to make sleep difficult. I also have TMJ and I think my stress is causing me to clench my jaw more which is causing more migraines. Idek. I'm a mess and a half over here.

 

TMJ absolutely blows. I hope things calm down for you soon!

Another thing I'd recommend is making a bedtime routine. Like I curl into bed after taking the pill and watching Youtube videos, right now re-doing Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural for October, and let the pill do it's work. My body expects this and begins to relax. Then once I'm basically falling asleep I close the laptop and curl up and i'm usually asleep in minutes.

 

Can confirm. Valerian root is great.

 

Thanks! Omg last year BuzzFeed unsolved was def my sleep time routine. I def need more of a night routine. Lately it's like.... Work 12 hours and then come home and get ready for bed. I don't rly get the decompression time. Usually I would get off work and go to the gym, make dinner, relax a bit... But I'm def not doing any of those things rn. I hope things settle down but I don't foresee it in my future lol. Hopefully the one good thing about cold weather will be that it slows things down.

 

Fun fact: I hate myself

 

Well you're in good company there, mate; by which i mean the self-hatred.
