Anyone else insomniacs? I don't sleep well but when I do it's during the day because I'm a night owl. To many years of nightshift work when I was working. I don't know many nights owls so I research a lot nothingness. 🤣

Anyone else the same here?
 
Yep, 20 years of a 4-5 am bedtime has worn a rut I can't get out of 3 years into retirement.

Screw it, I'm just going to roll with it. 😆

I'm not a night owl, but I haven't slept well in 3 years.

My doctor won't give me meds because they're all addictive.

I just found out about DSIP peptide.

And I already ordered my Mots-C last week.. 🙁
 
I recently bought a shikifuton and have never slept as well in my life. I used to be in a techops based role for a previous company which ruined my sleep schedule.

Highly recommend investing in your comfort/sleep hygiene. Most box spring mattresses wreck your back while memory foam also doesn't adequately cool you or support your spine.

The only thing that helps me is smoking. I don't like how sleep medicine makes me feel. I just got to watch the munchies.

I have a good mattress. I just don't sleep. Some of it is related to chronic pain as well.

The shikifuton I have has helped immensely with backpain and fatigue for what it is worth. I have transitioned from a side sleeper to a back sleeper and no longer wake up with joint issues or soreness.

I can relate to that. I started sleeping on my back and no more back pain in the morning 🙂

I'll look into it. I have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. My new mattress has helped tremendously.

I'd recommend looking at the reddit floorsleeping - the name is deceptive

You could try Trazadone, non-addictive works fairly well for alot of people till it don't. It's an old school Physcho med, I was on it for 5 years and could normally get 5-7 hours sleep. You can essily get online telehealth Rx as well.

Dsip & Epithalon did nothing for me, CJC-1295 no dac with Ipamorelin does help me a little and Melatinon is ok.

I've worked nights for 35 years, I can relate! I've tried everything but, self administered Anesthesia and knocking myself unconcious to sleep.

I took trazadone but it stopped working.

Research Sermorelin as well. Many have reported sleep benefits.

This is really interesting. My bed from early childhood until the time I was maybe 20 or so was a loft bed — so just a mattress on its own. I loved that bed and slept so well. I also very frequently always say, “I never sleep as well as I do when I’m camping (sleeping on a camp mattress or even just a sleeping bag on the ground).”

I am sleeping really well with the coconut coir mat from Thailand that is about an inch and a half thick. This allows for airflow and cooling that I never got with a traditional mattress.
 
I also have these problems, on weekends during the day I can sleep but at night I just don't sleep well. I have tried L-tryptophan, melatonin, ashwaghanda, magnesium glycinate everything but nothing helps. I have also tested Epitalon but also without success. The only thing that helped in the beginning was zopiclone, but unfortunately the body gets used to it and you have to increase the dose. Now with Reta, of course, I sleep even worse
