Find the root cause of your insomnia and fix it. Don't do drugs.
The root cause is I can’t sleep

It gets worse when you start not sleeping for a week. Fix it now. This is a massive health issue.

Long answer is this. Short answer is kava or kratom.
Kava is no joke….
Hows kratom? Hear it can be addicting.
If you've tried all of the sleep hygiene memes without success, you can try:
melatonin (low dose, more than 2mg is counter intuitive), ashwagandha, doxylamine or other sedating anti-histamines, low dose mirtazapine, ultra low dose quetiapine
doxylamine and quetiapine would be the most effective, of these
quetiapine is technically an anti-psychotic but up to 50mg it's basically just an anti-histamine. Dopaminergic effects don't really start until around 300mg+
What about for nighttime wakefulness?
>fall asleep easily at 11pm
>wide-ass awake at 2am
>fall asleep again at 5:30, wake up at 6:30 for work
IMO time release melatonin 10mg helps somewhat, 2mg does nothing.
Produced fricked up 8hr panic attacks, not fun.
>absolute king of sleeping medication
benzodiazepines or barbiturates

the answer lies right in front of you in your pic. Berry crates until food coma, naked on a green grassy field.

So I have a different problem than OP. I fall asleep OK most nights. My problem is that I can't will myself to wake up. If I go to bed at 1AM, I sleep through every alarm and wake up at 8:00AM in a panic. If I go to bed at 10PM, the same shit happens. It doesn't matter when I go to sleep, my body refuses to move until 8AM. So now every morning is a stressful rush where I inevitably forget things and skip breakfast.
What I want is to wake up at 6AM and have a normal morning. Does anyone have success with forcing yourself to get up and just be a fricking morning person?
sounds like me, and I feel my issue is inconsistent bed time. I'm trying to be in bed by 10-10:30, instead of what is normally can be 10:30, 11:30, 12:00, 1:00, etc.
What has helped me the most is understanding the importance of sleep and making it my number one priority when it's time to sleep. When you truly understand that the moment you go to bed, everything else becomes secondary, every worry, every thought, every urge to do something is best left to your brain to process either while you sleep or when you are in a better, clearer state of mind to deal with it, you become very calm and welcome sleep, you look forward to it. I see sleep as a tool to deal with all the shit I haven't fully processed yet, not something that stops me from doing so. You regain control of your thoughts and your body, you tell it what to do and when to do it. I can tell myself that now is the time to sleep and nothing else, and I immediately fall asleep and sleep like a baby. It takes a lot of practice to achieve this though.
glycine it's a calming neurotransmitter and essential amino acid
you get enough, but taking a large (3g+) dose produces a calming soporific effect
take 3g in an herbal tea
buy it loose powder from now supplements, a pound (454g) is under 20 bucks
it is sweet like sugar and basically zero calorie
drink it all 15 minutes before you lay down
close your eyes and don't move Black person
you'll get real sleepy
hard avoid caffeine AT LEAST 6 hours before sleep.
also melatonin.
La petite morte, after physically exhausting yourself to the point that you fall almost immediately into the deepest sleep.
I have UARS and this is everything I am doing to sleep.
Nasal aid nose dilators. They are hocks that stretch your nostril apart and don't cause nose bleeds like other dialators.
Benadryl. Or any other antihistamine. I use Benadryl for the drowsy effect. Not to worried about the risk of dementia. As there is not actual proof of it causing dementia, only a correlation. But, I am sure as shit not sleeping will cause dementia. If you do not want to take Benadryl take a second generation antihistamine to reduce swelling of any potential allergens that cause inflamation.
Flonase. Cortisol steroid that reduces inflammation and doesn't cause rebound congestion and no systemic side effects.
Nasal saline rinse. Done before the flonase to clean out mucus so the flonase get direct target to the nostril.
Wedge pillow. Sleeping elevated reduces blood flow to the nose that will stop your turbinates and any potential polyps from swelling up.
Sleeping on back. Same reason as the wedge pillow.
Magnesium 200mg. Promotes deep and healthy sleep.
Just works well for me no longer wake up at all and get to sleep just fine. Keep in mind tho this is just what I do cause I have a fricked up nose. If your nose is fine then these probably won't work.
