Re: What do you do to deal with insomnia?

Sleep hygiene. "The Sleep Solution" by Ball and Hough is the best $20 I ever spent. I started off just dipping into it, then worked through the 3-week programme methodically. I was seeing benefits by the third night.

I cut out caffeine entirely. This was a big deal but I managed it. Also sugar as far as possible.

Utilise the 90-minute sleep cycle. Count back in cycles from your preferred wake-up time. When you feel extra-sleepy around a bedtime that you've calculated, go straight to bed - you get a window of about 10 minutes when it should be easier to fall asleep.

Breathable sheets - about 300-count, cotton if possible.

Switch off screens at least an hour before bedtime (I am bad at this, heh.) Use f.lux to cut down on blue light emission during the evening. https://justgetflux.com/

If none of this helps, get a sleep test if possible. They wire you up and you get a printout in the morning, telling you what's up. Most sleep disorders can be diagnosed by this, and then treatment is a lot easier.

Good luck, anon!
