I normally would fall asleep at this time but now it’s later between 3-4AM. And I think this is a symptom of my mental health decaying.

    I’m in a similar boat, and while they’re kind of cliche, I’ve found that the following things did actually help me get better sleep:

    • Getting some sort of physical activity during the day. I’d go up and down my building’s stairs a few times, and then maybe do some sit-ups or push-ups right before bed.
    • Taking melatonin. The sublingual kind seemed to have the most effect.
    • Getting off my computer/phone for like 30min-1hr before bed. It’s a cliche, but it seemed to help.

    Hope you’re able to get some rest, I know how awful it is to be exhausted but incapable of falling asleep. meow-hug
