What do you do when you can’t sleep due to racing mind at 3 in the morning?

Do you have any PRNs, like a benzo? That can relax you if you're really desperate for sleep

I don’t have any PRN, usually my AP is enough but these last few weeks things been rough. Thank you for replying, Hallie and Blue. I hope I’ll have no problem falling asleep tonight.

Been going through something similar. It's a manic sleeping pattern without the mania. Last night I didn't sleep at all---tried going to bed around 4, but couldn't shut off my brain or close my eyes. I finally gave up at 6, when it was already light out. I've had a number of these kind of nights in recent weeks and all I can think is, I'll make up for lost time in the winter. I'm such a slug in the cold months.

I know when my mind is racing I have to derail it. Normally I can clear it, but sometimes I have to think of a song or do a guided meditation to a "safe place" to calm down.

Sometimes I’ll do a guided sleep meditation on YouTube. It helps relax me enough to sleep.

 Too restless to meditate but also too tired to do physical things like pacing for example.
