how do you get to sleep?, for those insomniacs like me Options

[batman]

it's been impossible for me lately, even with ambien which usually knocks me out. benadryl does absolutely nothing and neither does nyquil.

i've only been able to sleep about 1-2 hours every night for the past week. i'm tired but i just can't sleep.

it's of my opinion as well that medications for depression or sleep aids are probably going to do more damage to you than being of any help.

if you got issues you need to work them outyourself and perhaps find natural remedies for your mood (eat bananas and oranges) or drinking some nice warm tea or milk before going to bed. medications are definitely going to mess up your sleep cycle since it's fukken with your brain and shit and god knows what it's actually doing to you besides what it's meant to do (doctors STILL are finding out shit about the medicatoin they're so happy to prescribe to you)

you should be excercising 3/4 times a week (just running won't be enough) and you should be stretching once every few hours every day, and drinking lots of water to stay hydrated among other things.

you should be finding better and more fulfilling hobbies to do and don't tell anyone cause it's a hobby and you shouldn't have other people infringe on your own personal leisure time

oh and you should definitely just accept fate that you might be alone for a long time. you are essentially alone in some philosophical aspect and you definitely die alone. being alone is one part of life that all should learn to accept and master. find joy and comfort and quiet in being alone. to me you come off as disorganized with your own personal life because you're scared to work out the kinks when it's dead quiet. you won't find any happiness or solace if you don't have your life in control and together. learn to master your body. apostle paul likens spirituality to an athelete training and disciplining his body to win the race - the game.

be still young heart. never will you fall apart.
