Massive issues with sleep and desperate for a solution.

I’ve been struggling with sleep issues for over a decade now. My Doctor has prescribed me all sorts of medication, all of which has had many adverse side effects. What I do know that works, is Xanax. My wife was prescribed it for some stress issues and occasionally will give me one so I can finally sleep. Obviously asking my...

Thanks for the advice. There’s definitely some stuff here I can try. I have a stressful computer job so cutting back on caffeine makes sense along with several other tips you mentioned!

For THC I’ve switched over to edibles and they do help sometimes. Had to stop smoking it for various health reasons.

Trazadone was pretty intolerable with all the dry mouth side effects, plus it didn’t really help sleep a ton. I have a lot of problems with stress and anxiety. From a stressful job, to an insane family and some horrific life shit that happened over the past years. It’s tough to get my mind to stop racing sometimes. I’ve depended too much on substances in the past to manage it, and I know that probably means something habit forming may backfire. Honestly I’m always tired, but at times I’ll just lay there, tossing back and forth. Without restrictions, I can normally sleep from about 10PM-6AM, that seems to be the pattern for this point in my life. I’ve recently tried to start going for a hike at sunrise and that did help. Going to get back to doing that soon.

Thanks for the advice, I have a Snooz white noise machine and love it.

Ahh ok. That makes sense, while it works great, long term it doesn’t seem to be a solution.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve thrown that into my edible rotation but I should give it another go. Right now I have these 1:1:1 THC:CBD:CBN 10MG ones. Should I try straight CBN?

Yeah, this is definitely me. I’ve tried talking to someone before but it didn’t go well. Hard to find the right person.

@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Ahh man, giving up caffeine is going to be brutal

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks

I’ll definitely consider it again. I’m not a people person and find it extremely hard to trust people. But I also don’t talk much and things just end up festering.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I jumped off the soda train long ago. I just drink way too much coffee, it’s going to be tough to give that one up

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

100%. It’s all I look forward to these days. I know that fact in itself is a huge problem though.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ll give it a go. Weed has been my crutch for a long, long time. Unfortunately what used to seem like the solution to my problems has become the source of some. I at least need to stop smoking it.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve of taking some meditation classes or something. The stress has taken its toll on my health and I don’t know how much more my body can take.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Definitely need to exercise more so I’ll give this a shot, thanks

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Never tried decaf but I’ll give it a go. Love me some black coffee.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I think I’m way too stupid to digest all this but thanks for trying.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I think I’m way too stupid to grasp all this but thanks for trying.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m going to try. I once ditched coffee entirely for tea, but it weaseled it’s way back in with it’s seductive deliciousness.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m a freelance video editor for reality tv. It’s extremely stressful, especially now with the state of the industry. I’ve let my other skills (used to be a programmer and designer in the video game industry) decay far too much and frankly that industry isn’t faring too well either. There’s really no great answer for my occupation. I just really need to learn how to manage the stresses of life for another 10-15 years before I can retire. Just hoping I can make it to that goal.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

As a pessimistic introvert who generally avoids people at all costs, it seems so against my grain. But what I’ve been doing has obviously not been working. Hoping I can find someone genuine out there.

Thanks for the advice, have a good weekend

Anissem OP ,

I understand where you’re coming from but it’s not that simple. I’m freelance, it’s all gig based.

I’m going to do a sleep study this summer. I have some months off so my plan is to focus on health and wellness.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I have an unusual amount of fucked up shit that’s happened in my life and enough demons pulling on me to end the story. I have some months off soon so I’m going to focus on health and wellness hopefully. I started hiking at sunrise, which was great for a few months. I have the bad habit of reverting.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Totally. I’m 100% a burn out and need to tone it down. I’ve battled with learning moderation when it comes to weed but I’ve had lots of bumps in the road. Trying to ween myself off smoking and go straight edibles. I should try the “under the tongue” concentrates though. Thanks

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I have a lot inside me that I’d like to get out, just concerned as I’m not a trusting person and I have a lot of dark shit to unload. I’ve spent the last two decades coping with drugs and my body is telling me this isn’t a plan anymore.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I need to do this. My dentist recommended I should get a study, can’t remember why, but he referenced something about my tongue / mouth.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

No sugar, too much black coffee though. Only drink black coffee, sparkling water and regular water.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks, giving up caffeine will be a tough one but sleep is more important for sure

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

SoCal here. We have all the weed, thanks for the tips

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

For nearly $5K a week? If so, please let me know.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for the advice!

I love that some douche downvoted this. What a miserable slob you’d need to be.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s going to be tough to give up coffee. Bravo on going cold turkey. I may have to ween myself off with decaf.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Going to start going for hikes at sunrise again, definitely could use more exercise

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks!

Anissem OP ,

Thanks for the advice. I definitely need to learn how to calm my mind. Going to take a meditation class or something along those lines.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks for the advice! I have a few months off this summer so going to dedicate that time to relearning how to live, hah

Anissem OP ,

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I hear you. I have addictive tendencies so it probably would backfire.

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks! Definitely going to ween myself off coffee this summer. Finishing up an edit gig now and it’s all that keeps me cranking

Anissem OP ,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks so much for all this. I only intake caffeine, marijuana and alcohol. Going to start weening myself off coffee for sure and I’m always trying to minimize the other two. Going to spend some months this summer relearning how to live.

I’ve been meaning to go to Yosemite and see the redwoods, maybe it’s time for a road trip!
