I Have Insomnia

For the past 3 months I have struggled with insomnia. I use to love sleeping, and I still do, but I can rest in the same way. I know last year was tough and I struggle with anxiety, but I miss being able to sleep for hours without waking. Maybe sometime I will be able to again..

Have you tried melatonin? Exercise? Diet changes? Staying up for a long time?

@Tatsumi I was taking melatonin every night and it stopped working.. maybe cause I took it every night? Sometimes it works but mostly it never does. :(

@adipinmydaydream Yeah, I experienced that, as well. Melatonin seems to be a bit habit forming. If you take it too much, you can't sleep without it. And sometimes it'll make me wake uo after 2-4 hours.

Any luck staying up for 24+ hours to try to make your body really craving sleep? That works for me when the melatonin makes it impossible to sleeo through the night. It blows, but it works.
