I sometimes sleep 2 hours a day, it bothers me so fucking bad, I just wanna fall into a coma to recoup my sleep deprivation, how do I start sleeping long hours again?
Im still sleepy even though I slept most of today.
Im always sleepy. Would you wanna change with me?
is it that you cannot seem to fall asleep, or that you don't get the urge to fall asleep/get sleepy?

Both, actually. I deluded myself that I'm not an insomniac, I'm just irresponsible, and there's truth in that, but even when I try to be responsible and sleep, I just don't get that many zzz's or I don't fall asleep at all.

i hope you can get the rest you deserve anon, i have used melatonin supplements but those only work if you can make yourself lay down anyway.

None, I'm "straight-edge"(not opposed to pleasure just value sobriety), and when I do sleep I run for 40 minutes at an 8-minute-mile pace, do ab rolls, yoga. I eat very healthily too. I do not touch coffee at all whatsoever. Last time I drank coffee was a year ago I think, and the time before that was maybe another year or two.
I took benzos for years to help me sleep...but I was so zombified the next day I was probably worse off than if I hadn't slept. Don't take them.

But it would be some rest at the very least, my days are useless anyhow, at least with benzos I could try to recover some zzz's and reset my sleep debt before I start being an insomniac again, maybe make it an annual or monthly ritual...

You'll wind up even less useful than if you don't take them, which was my point. And you'll be addicted to them after a few weeks. Taking benzos long term was the single dumbest mistake in my life, and I've made a lot of dumb decisions.
I just found out the army has go and no-go pills.
Hi anon ! Sorry if I’m way late to this thread but here’s some advice that helped me that hasn’t been mentioned (besides melatonin) !
Trying to turn off electronics before sleeping while hard to go so helps since blue light keeps our brains active. I take anxiety meds before I sleep and those really pack a punch if melatonin isn’t effective for you! Another thing is getting a good meal in, it’ll make you tired since your body has to process all the food. Really hope you can get a normal-ish sleep schedule anon !

i was like that, used to sleep only 2-4 hours a day and i gotta say it was the best moment of my life i was enjoying it so much now i can barely leave my bed without thoughts of killing myself i just sleep all day and cant stop it
Pet a cat, that's what gets me to sleep.
Don't look at your phone or watch TV in bed. It made a huge difference for me

Black out the fucking LED lights. All of them. Even sunlight disrupts sleep less. Either sleep under a blanket with a fan on you so you don't overheat or get blackout glasses and sleep with those on.
Go to bed
