Youve prob tried everything but have you tried modafinil, was hyped up as a limitless pill (is nowhere near it ofch) but you dont feel sleepy on it and thats what the army uses it for or used it for at some point.
I can vouch that it works, doesnt feel like a stimulant like adderal or energy drinks, just don't feel sleepy yet can sleep if you choose to.
I haven't tried modafinil no. Should give it a whack if any comes available. I used to have a classmate who was on it but that was 10+ year's ago and I didn't really know him.
What actually worked best was the very plain diet but I just... it's just so boring eating nothing but rice and gluten free fish sticks. But then I started to be able to just easily sleep 6 hours and get up. Felt like a real person. Because genuinely oftentimes if I try to get up but haven't gotten enough rest, I'll be worse off than when I've had a bottle of rum. Like my eyes won't go straight and I can't really get up properly.
Although I have to admit that some of these later long sleeps have been contributed to by the new meds I got for a broken rib, amitriptyline or the like. But it's alaovi used for IBS and depression, and neither of those are going amiss for me basically.
But man it's tiring. Idk how that would help anyone with depression. I mean yeah I care less about being tired and am not as annoyed about sleeping more than half the day but I don't feel like it's really helped my depression at all if it keeps me asleep for more than half the day.
But even without it I have issues. And I open curtains and have automatic lights to come on full at a decent wakeup time.
But yeah I could give modafinil a whack if i had some idk. But I think I'll just have to to back to rice/fish/potatoes/chicken diet.
