OP
(Anonymous) 2015-02-25 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)I do tend to get overly-anxious and mentally obsessive in a bad way, but I don't always feel anxious when I go to bed... but when I don't fall asleep within 45 minutes or so I start getting anxious about the fact that I'm not sleeping. I learned not to look at the clock so I don't worry about the time, and that helps a little. Still, I'm pretty sure I still worry, even subconsciously, about falling asleep within good time and I know that anticipation ironically contributes to keeping me awake.
I have tried melatonin, and I have a bottle now, but I don't think it does much for me. When I first tried it I thought it might, but honestly for me it might've been just placebo effect. I drink chamomile tea before bed (hit or miss), and even have Benadryl for emergencies if I don't have my prescription. I also don't drink caffeine past a certain time in the day, but now that I think about it, I probably should just try cutting back how much caffeine I consume at all (though I can't imagine it can stay in your system for over 8-10 hours? maybe)
I'm going to try some of the things you guys suggested though, thanks! Regular exercise definitely can't hurt, I'll join up my gym again.
