I’m so tired all the time, it’s 3am and once again, having gone to bed at 10:30, I am still awake. I have tried everything. No phone in the bedroom, no phone for 1h before bed, late night walk, lavender shower gel, eat something just before bed to make my body go into rest and digest mode, eat nothing several hours before bed to avoid glucose spikes, herbal tea, magnesium enriched barley coffee, relaxing all my muscles one at a time, white noise, changing the temperature. Nothing helps.

Worth mentioning that I am going through a stressful time in life and I do tend to struggle to push thoughts of my worries out of my mind no matter what when I lie in bed. The only thing that works eventually is taking drowsey inducing cold syrup which is really really bad because I don’t have a cold.

There are too many comments to individually reply to all of them but thank you guys and I am reading every single one.

What is the magic trick, suplement, whatever it takes that worked for you?

I had insomnia for years, also tried EVERYTHING (only except hypnotic because my family always scared me with addiction). In the end, doctor prescribed me antidepressant that helps with sleep and I took 1/4 of pill and it put me to sleep with no problem. It was like some wonder. So now I would say don’t be afraid of meds, better good life on meds than suffering.
