Anyone else really struggle with insomnia? Anyone take any medicine for it? I usually use melatonin and valerian and advil pm when its really bad. But Im really getting tired of not sleeping well.
update: December 2021:
This thread has put me on a journey to solve this problem that has bothered me for most of my adult life. I have struggled with sleep for a long time. I was desperate to find answers.
I spent considerable time in prayer and fasting, I met with my Bishop at Church and talked to my wife and doctor. My solutions may not work for everyone but I have found great peace and help.
I failed to sleep due to worry, stress and a racing mind. After a few hours of sleep I would wake up and think about things I have done, not done or needed to do. My mind would race and I could not get back to sleep.
My prayers, my wife and my Bishop helped me find peace through my Savior Jesus Christ.
My Doctor helped me understand I had a mild form of OCD. That made me fixate and obsess overly things I could not change. A mild medication taken every night has helped.
I’ve switched to a plant based diet- not vegetarian or vegan. I try and get most of my calories every day from whole grains, beans and vegetables. I still eat eggs fish and dairy products regularly. I eat chicken occasionally and I eat beef and pork rarely.
I am changing my workouts from mostly weight lifting to include more cardio.
I have been open and honest with my wife about the things that worry me the most.
For the very first time in 30 years I am sleeping well, very well, sometimes too much. These changes have been nothing short of life changing for me. I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and for my wife and modern medicine.
I will update more as I progress on this road. I am still learning my way through this new lifestyle.
In my experience nothing is a better cure for insomnia than a really hard workout and running like a bat at of hell (if you can).
