Its kind of a long story (i started a topic about it a while ago), but i suffered severe insomnia in 2022 due to anxiety that landed me in the ER several times.
I got through it with medications and just educating myself about the topic.
I havent taken any medicine about 6 months but i follow quite good sleep hygiene everyday and i sleep about 6-7 hours.
I dont even remember the last time i slept 8+ hours, but i just accept it, it is what it is. I feel perfectly fine if the 6 hours sleep is in a row without waking up in the middle.
- dont browse phone before you go to bed at least 1 hour before sleep
- try to go to bed and wake up same time everyday
- bed is only for sleeping, dont lay there randomly
- dont eat big meals near bed time
- i have limited my alcohol consumption, i feel it has positive impact (when i had insomnia i sometimes abused it to get sleepy, but it only helps falling asleep but the sleep quality is really bad)
