Struggling with Sleep: My Lifelong Battle

Yes I do actually. That makes sense how you just explained it. And it’s funny I mostly cope is nicotine, Smeed, and caffeine

Do you have any issues with ADHD? I was looking at some research last night that attention deficit disorders are very often comorbid with sleep disorders, and sometimes doing things to address one will help the other. It does make sense; the most common "medications" adults use for ADHD are nicotine and caffeine, which briefly stimulate dopamine activity in the brain and make a list of tasks able to be broken into pieces and addressed in order. One study even found longitudinally that melatonin use was helpful in reducing ADHD symptoms, suggesting attention problems and sleep disorders could potentially be a "chicken vs egg" scenario.

i’m having the same exact problem
