Yeah drinking wrecks your REM cycles hard. Was probably the hardest part of adjusting back to sober living for me, definitely the hardest physical part. Don't think I got a real good night's sleep for like, 3 months or so.

I can’t even fall asleep if I drink too much. it’s just tossing and turning

you release cortisol to counteract the depressant effect of alcohol but this can last longer than being drunk

so lying there, in the morning, hungover as heck, and the stress hormone is pumping thru your veins. you went to bed at 2am and it’s now 5:30am and why the gently caress can’t I sleep

it’s going to be a long day

I drink two monsters a day at work plus coffee but I’m thinking maybe I should try sleeping better instead because I’ve been feeling more and more tired lately

I got about 7 hours of total sleep over the last two nights. I keep waking up at 2AM and I can't get back to sleep.

This is slowly killing my mind and body, and I don't know how to solve it.

I take a 3mg melatonin to help me sleep but it seems like it’s getting less effective

Yes to both. Does that stuff really work? What kind of dosage do I want?

Sometimes I take 12.5mg of doxyamine (half tablet of unisom), and it knocks me the gently caress out. But I wake up groggy and cranky - hard to dad well the next morning.

from anecdotal evidence it seems to vary from person to person. the biggest problem you'll run into is that they're labeled as supplements and our government is full of dipshits so the FDA doesnt regulate them. this means theres no guarantee you're getting anything in the pill or that the "dosage" is valid.

it seems to work for me at dosages of 3mg or less, but ymmv

I’ve heard anecdotal stuff like that too. only a few nominal MGs often do the trick

i've read that a proper dose of melatonin is actually in the hundred microgram range, and i have no idea how true that is, but anecdotally i've tried 500 mcg to pretty much no effect

it definitely does do something though, popping 3 of them would make me real sleepy and have weird dreams

Keep in mind more melatonin != more tired, means tired longer. At least as I understand it.
