If anyone figures that one out, please let me know.
I'm so tired of being tired for things that I need or want to be awake for. Work presentation? can't sleep. Road trip? can't sleep. Concert? can't sleep. It's not even always negative anxiety: That thing I'm excited about tomorrow afternoon? up.all.night.
I can self-medicate to a degree, but even that is hit or miss. I used to caffeinate myself to get through these, but have cut things like coffee since the pandemic and now only very rarely use them.
Mindfulness meditation. It's practice for being okay with taking time away from the things.
Same, the cycle is awful...
The only thing that let's me get enough sleep on one day is having not nearly enough the day before.
Then there's the battle of mental health good if going to bed early, waking up early, assuming i can sleep, versus having a social life.
