So am I. Following a friend's advice, I started doing 30 minute exercise after work. It has helped a lot.
In my case, it was due to overstimulation. Now I stop looking at screens about an hour before sleeping, and I turn off all light sources before sleeping, and I managed to regulate my sleep.
Me, staring at my alarm about to go off in 5 minutes after tossing and turning for an hour: "this is the single most comfortable spot in the universe and I am so sleepy now"
work til ya croak
🤣
Sleepy and tired aren't the same. I'm mentally drained after work, but not sleepy, just zombified.
It's the brain damage
From banging my head on the wall because the same person keeps forgetting their password or still can't plug shapes into shapes to hook up their dock and monitors.
Exactly, can't go a few hours of work without someone else's stupidity giving you brain damage.
I like that the hat moves from the frog to the bear between frames 1 and 4
I am panel 4 right now
Looking at your phone screen won’t help you get sleepy.
I kept thinking about something and it did help a bit to distract me
But I also moved around a bit, got some water, and played with the cat.
Read a book.
I followed your advice last night and reading a book did help
Nice! Most are so boring, you just straight up nick off, eh?
Are you calling me ignorant?
Relax! They didn’t say you had to learn anything from the book.
Go to the gym.
A frog would be crushed by the majority of gym equipment.
You telling me these guys don't lift?
That worked very well for me, turns out my job was far too boring and offered no challenges.
I made the mistake of not succesfully monetizing my workouts, because groceries got so expensive i had to stop my gym membership.
Have been a vegetable ever since, zero motivation and energy to do shit.
To be fair, we can't sleep partly because we spend the evening looking at a screen
I've heard this my whole life, yet I game deep into the night, go to bed and sleep within 5m tops. Did this for the last 3 decades or so, I must be a special snowflake 😁
That's what I did/do, you probably have an undiagnosed ADHD like me. We crave the serotonin so much, that if we don't have it for 5 minutes we fall asleep.
Probably yes. I highly think that is the case. Lying in bed is so boring instantly, I just fall asleep...
I tried Shiatsu and it didn't help shit.

^What people who don't have insomnia think it's like.
Insomnia isn't just a magical curse put on you. There are real causes, some of which are side-effects of the high rate of caffeine consumption.
Insomnia is a chronic incurable medical condition.
If you can cure it by limiting caffeine consumption, that's not medical insomnia that's just a caffeine issue.
It's just like migraines. If you can treat it with ibuprofen, you don't have a migraine you have a headache.
‘High caffeine consumption’
My caffeine consumption: less than 70 mg/day, equivalent to one very weak cup of coffee.
lol. That’s how it goes.
