Also an insomniac. I’ve ran into “sleep anxiety” over the past few years which, for me, means becoming anxious when I think I’m supposed to go to bed.
Things that have helped:
- Minimum of 10K steps per day
- Weightlifting and HIIT
- 0 light in my room (windowless room)
What has helped most:
- Letting go of a rigid schedule and just letting tiredness dictate when I go to bed.
My lifestyle is a luxury I can afford because I don’t have kids. I imagine being a parent would really make dealing with insomnia much more difficult.
