Chewable Melatonin gummies seem to do the trick for me for sleep, but i know different things work for different people…particularly with homeopathic remedies.

@WilliamBloke unfortunately melatonin doesn’t work for me at all… I’ve tried it for months prior getting into addiction never worked for me :sweat_smile:

It is better than before I slept very well yesterday and the day before… 5 to 6 hours without waking up is for my a huge step forward… nightmares is still there but the quality of sleep got a bit better…actually some of the methods I tried did actually work like white noise worked like magic :pray:

Grats on your clean time!!! 11 months now for me and sleep makes me panic still. I used to sleep the second my head touched the pillow now Im struggling and staying up till 5-6 or later and tired, hard to get up when I do crash of exhaustion… We just gotta work through it and understand everything passes. I was reading camping for 3 days will reset your clock? Not sure if its true but worth a shot. Sleep is a mf, hang in there, nothing last forever

That’s whatsup that’s whatsup @Mimi88 . Train your body sober 100%. Trust me , it will pay off in the long run and it’s the best way to learn how to sleep. I’m telling you. White noise is literally one of the best methods to use. Im so grateful I found it back in 2017, it saved me so many times in my life. Even when I’ve had noisy , loud , inconsiderate roomates / neighbors.
