I was having a lot of difficulty sleeping a couple months ago. Waking up at 3 am no matter what time I went to bed. I actually stopped taking my ambien last month and have been doing a little better.
I have found that going to bed as soon as I’m tired no matter the time and having a bedtime routine has helped. I do read a little in bed too. Like 15 mins if I make it that long.
Around 8 I have a coffee and a snack, snuggle the dogs (sounds stupid but it clears my mind and calms me), wash my face (something new I’m trying. I used to only wash in the am cuz I’m lazy), brush my hair and teeth. All that good stuff.
I hope that you can get some sleep and hang out tomorrow night.
