Man, I think I'm just one of those people who dont sleep but a couple hours a night. I'm tired but nothing is putting me to sleep. And sleep aids are not good for what I want out of life so idk(edit I also use melatonin and cannabis for further explanation)
Insomnia sucks! Even hospital-grade sleeping pills can be resisted if a mind is busy enough. I might suggest a pre-bed routine, possibly some journaling to brain-dump whatever you worked on today, so you aren’t "thinking of stuff" while you’re trying to sleep!
Also: tobacco, marijuana and alcohol affect what happens within your body while sleeping. They may help you get to sleep sometimes, but for the long term it's best to avoid them as much as possible.
