Men who suffered from insomnia, what fixed it?

1. Getting diagnosed with bipolar 2 and starting Seroquel. Good lord I didn’t know what sleep even was til I got some.

   Before that, was self medicating with weed. I’d have insanely intense ptsd nightmares and shit and weed helped… But Seroquel is a better long term solution.

   If you have insomnia go to a doctor. Sleeping meds are pretty useful. Makes you hungry as fuck tho, and eating a bunch before bed will kinda counteract the sleep. A full belly is not good at all for sleep.

2. Not eating late, having a routine, going to sleep at the same time and waking at the same time every day, exercising and walking.

3. A less stressful life routine. I had finished my exams, applied successfully to a VISA and broke up with my ex that added nothing good to my life.

4. Sleeping

5. Smoking weed and listening to Coast to Coast

6. Yoga worked wonders. Also became more mentally stable.

7. Alcoholism took care of mine.

8. I tried everything… All i need in the end was a simple calm evening with wine and grapes.

   Knocked me out.

9. Figure out the cause. Sometimes it can be a few different things. Stress being a big part of it. I also had night sweats but that tends to be from eating late especially things with sugar in it. I’d burn if off about 4 hrs later, and have fitful sleep. I recall roasting and feeling like I was swimming in bed from the sweat.

10. Exercise as much during the day

11. Trazodone and cutting back on caffeine.

    Unfortunately I slipped back into the caffeine lately but sleep has been alright for me anyway.
