I suffer with insomnia badly. I’m on Zoplicone 7.5mg tablets but my GP only prescribes me 7 tablets and this has to last me at least 3 months as you can become dependent on them
Usually I buy Boots Sleepeaze tablets which are an antihistamine what make you drowsy - they work but again I like to use them sparingly.
I normally scroll through social media and Tattle. I go on YouTube and watch relaxing videos. I’ve found investing in some black out curtains helps me sleep better.
edit to add I suffer with anxiety/depression which doesn’t help my insomnia. The more I worry about not sleeping the more anxious I become, so my moods suffer the day after through lack of sleep/worrying about not sleeping that night. It’s horrible!
