i’m not exactly sure what it is that i have. regardless of how exhausted i feel, i just can’t get myself to fall asleep at night. my mind just wont shut off… unless it’s day time. that’s the part that confuses me about whether or not it’s insomnia. i can climb into bed and fall asleep right away in the broad daylight, but at night it’s a different story.
i’ve tried counting, closing my eyes and creating an environment, relaxing each muscle in my body starting with the toes and working my way up, baths, warm milk (REALLY bad idea for me i found out later), ice cream, melatonin, reading. i’ve also tried getting out of bed to do something for fifteen minutes if i couldn’t fall asleep right away.
i’ll try anything that doesn’t involve perscriptions. i don’t like medicating my problems, i like to overcome them myself.
