“Sleeping early” ha, no such thing. Just setting yourself up to stare at the ceiling.
We’re supposed to force ourselves to get up still dead tired instead even if we didn’t get much and “eventually” says the doctor, “you will get tired enough to sleep on time”. LIES. ALL LIES.
Yep, that’s what I was told every time I brought up my sleep issues. Yeah, it’s been a few decades and surprise it’s never worked. Overtired me tends to be awake for longer. And then when I eventually crash, because it is inevitable, I crash HARD and sleep for 10+ hours completely dead to the world. Thankfully so far I haven’t slept through anything super important. I can only go to sleep quickly if I run myself absolutely ragged.
Same. My brain doesn’t want to sleep “early” even if I have gone all week on less than 3 hrs each night, and waking early is pure hell. But staying up and then letting my crash hit at a time I know I will then wake when I -want- to is almost trivial if nobody interferes.
Yep, like just like everything else, not everything works for everyone. I’ve been awake for 26+ hours to the point I’m hallucinating and still unable to fall asleep. But apparently I just have to wait till I’m tired enough. As if being awake for 26 hours straight isn’t enough? I also can generally make it so I can be awake at the right time if left to my own devices. Which is why I’m really glad I’m out of my parents house, because they would decide “you’ve been sleeping long enough” and wake me up an hour after I fell asleep.
I do this multiple times a month. I’m going to die early
Little do you know that there’s a hidden, 3rd option I take every night: just don’t fix your sleep schedule
Or maybe option 4?
Taking a bunch of edibles to make you sleepy at the right time
At this point, I’m open to all suggestions.
Going to throw in my edible suggestion because it is the only thing that’s ever worked for me personally: Mr. Moxey’s mints. They make a high CBD one with valerian root. I try to take them an hour or so before bed. Just CBD or just sleepy tea has never worked for me but the combo seems to do the trick.
Edibles are overpriced and underdosed; instead you should buy pure hash oil from an indica strain (or RSO, or distillate, or whatever concentrate is available in your area) and make your own edibles. It’s way cheaper and you get a much stronger and more effective product.
Where I live, the average edible product is $15-20 and contains 100mg total of active THC (I looked up those mints and they also contain 100mg total in the entire package). Or could just buy a hash oil syringe for the same price and get 1000mg. Literally 10x the amount for the same price. So if a pack of mints lasts you a week, imagine having a 2½ month’s supply without spending 10x as much. Eventually you’ll get used to just directly consuming the oil, saving you even more time and money since you don’t actually have to make it into an edible to achieve the desired effects.
What I should do is what works well for me. I know about and have used oil but I prefer the mints for various reasons. I’m glad you have something that works well for you
I’m doing the right side thing right now. I am the night.
Its currently 7am. I woke up at 10am.
I feel ya
