Why didn't he just go to sleep? If you really have trouble just take a sleep aide.

Just pop ambien or xannies until you pass out

Same
I have no6 had a good nights sleep since like 2011
Sleep deprivation is an onset to serious mental health issues and it was teh catalyst that gave me schizophrenia psychosis. Not been able to sleep properly since.

An extra level too if you rely upon sleep aides you eventually get to a point that you cant sleep without them, exacerbating the issue.
I personally take benzos and valerian root but only in extreme desperate situations.

These are nearly impossible to get prescribed now and many of us don't know dealers. Also, no one trusts black market pills anymore. A lot of them contain fentanyl.

Try drinking coffee right before your normal bedtime. I imagine that's what insomnia is like.
>>
>>215141715
You don't get the kind of sleep you need from that.
And there is a point where you are making it worse because your body stops producing endocannabinoids and receptors get downregulated so have fun when you eventually have to taper down your weed and also deal with your pre-existing insomnia.

The hardest part about sleeping on weed is how funny everything is.
>>
>>215141859
Sleeping stoned robs you of good sleep. You fall asleep, but its not restorative and the longer you smoke, the worse the insomnia will be when you quit.
>>
>>215141982
You can switch to alchol and get drunk after you run out of weed god your clueless is it your first day at kindergarden?
>>
like the doctor IN THE MOVIE explains, it's not just sleep you need, it's natural sleep you need.
taking a sleep aid might or might not knock you out but it will still leave you drowsy and in a mental fog 24/7.
If you only sleep a few hours and have dreams that's better than 9 hours of sleep on ambien.
Sleep aides tend to disrupt REM sleep.

I got Insomnia and started seeing auras and little bald doctors cutting people's balloon strings.

Thoughts on slow release Melatonin to force a shifted rhythm back to daytime? Melatonin as a quick-release sleep aid is garbage.

He didn't do any physical activity. You see once he starts fighting, which is INCREDIBLY physically demanding- most og you niggas would tire out after one punch- he starts sleeping like a baby

Insomnia is a very easy fix in 99% of cases, it just involves not being a dysfunctional retard, so obviously dysfunctional retards won't do it. You just need to
>quit all psychoactive substances, including caffeine
>be physically active throughout the day
>not expose yourself to blue light 1-2 hours before bed
>go to bed at around the same time
>remain in bed trying to fall asleep even if you can't fall asleep
There, your sleep will be fixed within a few weeks at worst.

I'm too low IQ to have insomnia, I've struggled my whole life with keeping a day/night cycle but I've never really had issues falling asleep, in periods I'll sleep like shit and wake up constantly but for the most part its good, I'll still end up only getting 5-6 hours a sleep at times though because I just cannot help it but stay up late

Weed puts me right out. It doesn’t even make me high, just like I got shot with a tranquilizer dart.
>>
>>215144051
Blue light exposure was a game changer for me. I got a couple of pairs of those blue light blocking glasses and wear them two hours before bed.

I also take promethazine, pregabalin, ibuprofen, and these Tesco "herbal sleep aid" pills. I take 150% of the max dose because I'm desperate. I make sure to get sunlight first thing in the morning. Huberman did a good podcast episode on sleep that's on YouTube. Sunlight activates the cortisol or something and starts the body's countdown to sleep. I forget the science but Andrew Huberman knows his shit. He also says to lower your body temperature to sleep and raise it to wake up. A cold shower in the morning works wonders for me. Counter-intuitively, that raises your body temperature over the next few hours because your body's thermostat switches on the heat. Feels good getting out of that cold shower.
>>
>>215144422
I don't know the others but I don't see how ibuprofen would help with sleep unless you're in constant pain. I also hope you don't take it regularly because the side effects are bad
>>
>>215144510
I'm not in constant pain but various pains can wake me up if I don't take ibuprofen. I've been taking it too much recently if I'm honest but I have a strong gut microbiome thanks to my diet, so no bad side effects so far.
>>
>>215144068
clearly you weren't drinking heavily enough if you never managed to induce psychosis
if you're drinking until you pass out and then continue drinking as soon as you wake up, and keep this up, it only takes a few days until you start going insane
>>
>>215141680
>If you really have trouble just take a sleep aide.
tranquilizers stop working if you abuse them.
melatonin stops working as quickly as two days in depending on the person.

I've had insomnia for almost 6 days before.
I've had bouts of insomnia for up to 6 months (less than 4 hours of sleep nightly for most days).

things get weird.
>>
>>215144113
if your problems are so simple they can be fixed this easily, you never actually had a problem.

insomnia is a neurological disorder, not you gooning to video games ya fucking dunce.

more than 5 years ago I had horrible withdrawals from some semi legal drug I ordered online, and I basically couldn't sleep for almost a week and I was literally going insane. I saw like green letters on the walls in my room written in some ancient language I couldn't read, and yeah also dancing shadows and constant shit in the corner of your eyes
>>
>>215141696
>melatonin
>even
lmfao melatonin is barely more than a placebo. Yet it's a placebo that can work if you're not retarded. Put the phone away and turn off screens an hour before going to bed. Don't overeat. Meditate, do breathing exercises, or something like that after laying down. Melatonin is not a train to take you to never never land, it's just a grease to get your axles spinning. But you gotta put the effort.
If you want a pill that you just pop and it knocks you out in 10 minutes, then feel free to get addicted to benzos.

simple truth is that physical activity cures insomnia and lack of physical activity can cause it. his insomnia was cured cause he was getting physical activity in the fight club. He could have started jogging and the movie wouldnt happen

Yes the title is insomnia, believe it or not.
>>
>>215147967
Did you even watch the movie? His insomnia was not cured at all. Tyler was taking over and doing side quests while the narrator was “sleeping”. Physical exercise didn’t help. Crying on bobs tits probably helped more than fight club.
>>
just stop takeing drugs of any and every kind and your sleeping schedule will fix itself , introduceing more drugs will only escelate your shitty situation.
also finally a decent thread on /tv/ that isn´t waifuposting or jeet AI.
>>
>>215144270
I was dead tired. It sometimes eased up and I could get a few more hours of sleep in and our work schedule varied due to delays so it wasn't always hard work. But in general exhaustion did not alleviate the insomnia and maybe even worsened it so I quit and found an easier gig.
