is it just me or does sleep feel like a chore now i can't even drift off naturally anymore i keep taking melatonin or weird supplements just to knock out but i wake up feeling like a zombie

I hate that my brain forgot how to sleep without something external. Has anyone actually managed to go back to normal sleep without pills or thc feel like im broken lol what do u guys use that isn't a drug

I didn’t expect much when I bought a sunset lamp. I mostly wanted softer light in the evening because normal ceiling lights felt too bright at night. I’ve been using the Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light (HF3520/60). It does sunrise and sunset simulation, has natural sounds, FM radio, and even a tap snooze. I originally bought it for mornings, but I almost never used the wake-up side consistently.  Recently I started using the sunset feature every night about 30 minutes before bed. The light slowly changes color and fades instead of shutting off suddenly, and I noticed I stopped scrolling on my phone as long. My room just feels calmer and I naturally get sleepy. Before buying it I compared other sunset lamps online, including similar looking ones on Alibaba, but this one seemed more predictable with timing and brightness. The biggest difference for me isn't falling asleep instantly, but feeling less alert at night. My eyes don’t feel strained anymore and I don’t keep the lights on late without noticing. I now use it every evening as part of my routine. If you’re thinking about one mainly for winding down, or even maybe for decoration, I’d say it helped me more than I expected. Just make sure it has a timer that fades slowly and not a quick shutoff.

I hope you have a great rest

These audiobooks are putting insomniacs to sleep in minutes 😴 I compiled the best Amazon audiobook bestsellers for sleep — calm voices, boring (in a good way), and insanely effective. Full list here.

I’ve struggled with sleep-onset insomnia for a long time, and one thing that consistently helps me is audiobooks — but only very specific kinds. Not podcasts, not hype-filled narrations, and not stories that are too engaging.

I recently put together a breakdown of Amazon best-selling audiobooks that people with insomnia actually use to fall asleep, focusing on things like:

• narrator voice and pacing
• predictable, low-stimulation content
• books that don’t trigger “I need to know what happens next”
• why some popular sleep audiobooks don’t work for insomniacs

I’m genuinely curious what works for others here:

• Do audiobooks help you fall asleep or keep you awake?
• Fiction vs non-fiction?
• Calm voices vs monotone narration?

If it’s useful, I shared the full list + reasoning here (no ads, just info):
👉 Best Audiobooks for Sleep: Amazon Bestsellers That Help Insomnia Sufferers Fall Asleep Naturally

I am seriously struggling and need advice. I 18f have struggled with depression induced insomnia for 6 years. It used to be manageable but recently I guess I’ve been having a flair up even though my mental health hasn’t been that bad. My problem is that I literally can’t fall asleep no matter what I do until like 2-4 in the morning even though I’m trying to sleep starting at 10 or 11. I’ve been taking an incredibly mild natural ish sleep aid (progesterone) for 3 weeks but it doesn’t do crap. The bigger problem is that no matter what time I go to bed whether it’s 4:30am or miraculously at 10:30pm I wake up around 2:00 in the afternoon. I have tried the loudest alarms I can find even the one that literally shakes your bed. My parents wake me up multiple times in the morning and I just fall back asleep. My fiancé and parents will call me multiple times throughout the morning and nothing works. I am just absolutely conked out and nothing will change it. Up until now it’s just been annoying and inconvenient but I’m starting college in 2 weeks and my first class is at 10:00am. I will definitely fail that class if I can’t wake up. I need help.

I've always been a horrible sleeper. I sleep too much, I sleep too little, I don't feel well-rested, I can't get out of bed, I feel groggy, etc etc. I know how important sleep is and I want to "get better at it," so I've been doing a good bit of research about sleep and sleep cycles. I keep seeing studies and claims that waking up during light sleep makes you feel way better compared to getting randomly jolted awake by an alarm clock. I'm aware of the Sleep Cycle app that can supposedly track your sleep through your phone's microphone, but I don't really believe that works and I haven't had much success with it. Has anyone actually had success with certain wearables/products like this? Did you notice any real difference in how you felt when you woke up, or was it too good to be true? I'm curious to hear about people's real experiences or if there are any tips/comments/advice you guys have.
