^^ This.

If 300mg of Trazadone every night doesn't fix my insomnia, I'm not sure how much going to bed at a set time or not using my phone in bed are going to help matters.

    While science is basically never absolute, and those bits of science aren't particularly strong, it's really worth a try.

    Forgive me if you've already given it a try and know it doesn't work for you. That's unclear from your post, and not the vibe I get from it. I know not everything works for everyone.

    Sleep hygiene does have a very strong correlation to life satisfaction. I really hope you can find the later, even if not via the former.

    Oh, already tried it, but thanks for your concern, unfederated friend.

    I do the whole "No blue light after 10 / the bed exists only for sleep and sex / screen time management / etc etc etc".......still maybe 4 hours of shitty tossing and turning per night.

    yeah, same here. if i'm not both sleepy and in position to sleep at the start of my rem cycle, i'll be awake for the whole damn thing. and more awake for the next if i try to go to bed in the middle of it.

    non 24 sleep cycles are fuuuuun. currently living in LA time and loafing in Lahore time.
