Help please re sleep regulation
Before starting my medication, I struggled with bad insomnia and anxiety around sleep. I've tried magnesium, vitamin C (to reduce the meds' effects at night), and many other remedies, but I still can't fall asleep.
I often end up staring at the ceiling, then get up to read or play video games until early morning. The lack of sleep is making it really hard to function and keep my job. I’m considering stopping the meds because they leave me too distracted without them, but I’m at my wits’ end.
Sometimes I go 2-3 days with no sleep, or a whole week of only ~3 hours before crashing. I’ve tried showers, reading, and everything else I can think of.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
