I wish there was medication for sleep that was safe long term. I quit smoking weed because it was messing with my ambition and energy and I’m in college to get into the medical field, but it was the only thing that put me to sleep. I take a Benadryl a few days a week because I’m so terrible at falling asleep but it’s not good long term.

I had a lot of help from agomelatine when I had sleep problems it's a melatonin based antidepressant that helps sleep. It's not addictive and doesn't interfere with sexual function.

It's stronger than melatonin as it keeps the melatonin circulating longer. It's sleep like you're really tired every night. The only downside is for some people it doesn't work.

I stopped it after a year or so and my sleep continued better than before I had it.

CW for substance abuseOof, yeah benadryl is a big no no for me since I developed a habit of it in my early 20s that rapidly spiraled into substance abuse. Got to meet the spiders, I thought they were cute. I was so fucking miserable then lol.

Melatonin, magnesium suppliments, and progesterone all work sometimes but I still havent quite figured out what the technique for those is supposed to be. That being said, working out regulalry, eating at normal times, and managing caffene intake is kinda the key to good sleep... and are all things I aught to get back on track with lol.
