Post Body

I suffer from insomnia and I have for years, I’ve tried medications, meditation everything under the sun except for marijuana (not the legal age to try it)

Every time I ask someone how they deal with their insomnia they say “just close your eyes and start to imagine something” or “stare at your eyelids and let your imagination run wild”

Basically they’re telling me that using my imagination is the key to sleep.

I’m an aphant! I can’t do that! I have found no way to help my Insomnia.

Any aphants with insomnia have a solution?
