There are various remedies to explore, such as establishing a calming bedtime routine, avoiding caffeine and screens before sleep, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation.
If you're still looking for more insights, I suggest checking out the cannabis clinic. They often deal with issues related to sleep and might have some valuable information. You can find some helpful info here on https://releaf.co.uk/.

What worked for me was working out, i either ran or did sports (badminton, volleyball). for supplements, i take melatonin but sometimes it is not strong for me. I heard on the andrew huberman podcast- a stanford professor who recommends magnesium glycinate as one of the sleep supplements. can read more in this link: https://hubermanlab.com/toolkit-for-sleep/

And I am one of those people too, besides, I am attacked by insomnia - like in your case. I don’t know how to fight it.

Do try Magnesium supplementation.

I find that magnesium keeps me up if I take it at night though! I take some melatonin before bedtime if I feel like I'm going to have insomnia, but I use it sparingly (only if I have something important on the next day and REALLY need to get some sleep). Keeping a regular bedtime also helps me!

Which type of Mg did you take?[/quote]I'm not sure actually! My mother uses one that is combined with melatonin, but I just feel very awake after taking it... Maybe it's psychological effect because I had bad experiences with it in the past

I am also experiencing the same thing. I am used to sleeping around 9:30 PM then after two hours, I cannot sleep. I've reduced my coffee intake and I think it does not help at all. My lack of sleep is visible in my face, I've got fine lines now. Should I consult a doctor about my problem?

You should give Liposomal Magnesium L-Threonate a shot.
Many of my friends and my wife saw immediate improvement!!

Insomnia, depression, etc etc are sign of Magnesium deficiency.
Go borrow the book The Magnesium Miracle by Carolyn Dean, MD.

If it is stress then several things might help, but still, doctor would give the best advise

I've been trying this method and it works for me. I only go to bed when sleepy. Avoid watching TV, reading, eating, or worrying in bed. Set an alarm for the same time every morning (even weekends) and avoid long daytime naps..
i avoid supper and watching tv...but guilty of playing games on ipad.
if i have something on early the next day, i would have problems going to sleep.
as for naps, i try very hard not to...but if i am really sleepy, i will set an alarm to wake up after 15 min.
as for the digital clocks, i switch it off so that i won't be looking at the time.

Apple Music, YouTube and the Calm app have quite a good selection to choose from

Insomnia is one of the cruel things in life. You become a living zombie if you don't have a nice sleep on you. The biggest reason for insomnia is that something in bothering you or something is on your mind. You need to share what is bothering to someone or seek professional help for it.
SLEEP is crucial for everyone to relax after a long day and for the brain to let go of everything.
my depression sets in when I do not have a good sleep.
in fact, that was how my depression started...I fear nights because I know I will be looking at the ceiling. in fact, it got so bad when I started having panic attacks when I couldn't even lie down as I was hyperventilating.

Drinking a glass of apple cider vinegar before bed also helps to improve sleep quality.

ChiefKiasu:
I'm just curious about the effectiveness of tech gadgets. Many handphones recently implemented the \"night\" mode where the whole thing has a yellowish hue after a set time. Does it actually work for you guys? I can sleep better these days, but I think it is a side effect of my condition rather than the night mode on the device.

I was advised to stay away from tech gadgets because of the blue light which causes people to have insomnia.
after reading your post, I set this night mode feature on my mobile phone only to realise I do not sleep beside it :stupid:
will set this on iPad later. hope this yellowish hue makes me knock out so that I can have a good sleep.
