Bout to zonk out and hopefully get a good night's rest. Seriously if you have trouble sleeping and haven't tried it yet. Try some tis like 5-7 bucks for a bottle full of em.

I drink a lot of coffee so not drinking coffee lots helps me. Also I like to recommend f.lux to people but it doesn't work it just gives arguments on the internet a slightly red hue. Try f.lux if you can't sleep.

Melatonin is really the only thing that works for me after 20+ years of experimenting.
Also: remember to help your eyes/brain wind down by turning off your TV or computer 30 minutes before you go to sleep.

As much as I love his documentaries a good Ken Burn's documentary will cure your insomnia due to its glacial pacing. I recommend Baseball.

Strangely enough melatonin usually doesn't do much for me except give me weird half-lucid dreams and such. Unfortunately this leaves me stuck abusing unisom and benadryl to make my sadbrain sleep sometimes.

Here's a tip: I print off my favorite threads into kindle format and then reeead them before I go to sleep.

It's relaxing and reading helps stimulate my mind. Last night I stopped after reading the post "im gay" and I can't wait to read what happens next

Lol at the guy who's never heard of benzodiazepines. Melatonin is like my gf's ugly imbecelic younger sister; I use her if I absolutely have to, but the whole experience is depressing for everyone

Take sleep meds that aren't addictive, won't build tolerance, and are unlikely to make you do crazy poo poo in your sleep (yes these exist)

If you have sleep problems then see a doctor who knows about sleep disorders besides insomnia.

One time I took Ambien I bought and downloaded Blood from GOG and livestreamed myself playing it for about an hour. I didn't remember any of this until about a week later when I was going through my past broadcasts and found it.
Another time I made toast and woke up eating it.
What I'm saying is that I am not exciting and that I have no cool drug stories.

Zzzquil. Ambien is more fun but I tend to do stupid things on the computer when I take it so nah. Benzos work but if you don't hide the bottle after you take one you could end up like me and take the whole bottle while blacked out and then wake up in a hospital bed and now everyone thinks you're a crazy person.
