Been tossing and turning last few nights. Anyone else?
Thatās hard I know. Itās 7:20 in the morning overhere, so no sleeping fore me too (living in the Netherlands).
But in times when I have slept bad I tried to read something in bed to set my mind on something different. Or try to imagine something nice. Like going on vacation somewere and thinking about were to go to and what to do and see.
I wish you luck.
If youāre in the beginning of sobriaty sleeping is hard the first weeks. Melatonin supplements has helped me in that period. Maybe an idea?
Well good morning too you. Lol its 10:30 PM here.
Yeah thatās what Iāve been trying to do, but I get too over excited. And thatās why I was put on anxiety and deperession medication ! Doctors tell not to touch Melatonin because it doesnāt work for me and Iāve tried it tons of times. I am 72 days of sobriety.
Aha! Right no melatonin for you then! Is valerian allowed?
I have the app "insight timer on my phone. Itās a free meditation app. It has also guided sleep meditations. Itās very good! Maybe itās worth a try?
Just woken in the UK after a terrible nights āsleepā. Tossing and turning, racing heart - I thought Iād left all that behind me when I stopped the abuse!!!
I sometimes find that listening to an audiobook or podcast helps me drift off, but not taking meds, because want to achieve my sobriety āsubstance freeā.
When you find the answer, let me know
A good walk before bed time ,i used to drink hot milk
If I may ask, what meds are you on and what time do you take them? Iāve been on and off a lot of meds because Iām very sensitive to the side effects. Melatonin gives me wicked dreams that become night terrors after a few days, so yeah, no. So 99% of sleep aids are off the table for that same reason.
