My insomnia has been hitting me like a truck these last few weeks. Luckily I'm WFH until the new year so I'm able to sneak in naps during the day when needed, but I really hate not getting a full 5-8 hours in the first place. So I'm wondering if y'all have any good experiences with some OTC sleep aid?
I'm getting plenty of exercise and eating well--even wearing myself out entirely on occasion throughout the day--but when it comes to sleep time I'm just up for a long time. No screens, lights off; Whole nine yards of what I'm supposed to do. I've tried melatonin supplements and while those help on occasion they never help me feel rested. So it's kind've a crapshoot.
I can always speak to my doctor about supplying me with some prescription sleep aids, but I always feel weird asking for a specific kind of drug unless I can really prove that I need it.
All this said, anyone have suggestions? Your boy is a sack of exhausted misery.
