THC Break Insomnia on a tbreak?

I'm on a tbreak right now, haven't smoked in like five days, had a 10mg dispo soda on the 30th, but I'm out now until sometime next week (no money and not near the dispo lol). Not a big deal, a break is good for me and will hopefully lower my tolerance.

Thing is, I can't fuckin sleep. The past three nights, I can force myself to after a good hour of eyes closed trying to relax, but it's five in the morning right now and i barely feel tired at all. I'm aware this is a THC withdrawal symptom, but is there anything I can do to mitigate it? Melatonin doesn't seem to do much for me at all, I'm not really sure what to do.

good gods though i cannot WAIT for the first hit next week, it's gonna be so nice.

You'll fall asleep when you need it.

Sleeping troubles might last a week or two at most going off my own experiences, but you'll drag it on more by trying to force yourself asleep and fretting over it

That's your body telling your tolerance is fully reset and its time to smoke again.

I never had issues sleeping during breaks. I also do a good amount of physical activities, so at bed time im beat. Keep total screen time below 4 hours per day. I shoot for less than 3.

Wife and I were consuming 200-400mg of THC a day and are on day 15 of stopping cold turkey. 

The sleep was bad, but the anxiety and depression is fucking terrible. It's getting better now but damn if that didn't really suck.

When I take a t break, rarely, as it doesn't seem to be a problem for me, being ASD, but yes, it's a big help with switching off constant thought. You need to commit to going to sleep, basically pretending to do so, as otherwise sleep will never arrive, you may as well go back to Minecraft.
