im almost 40 and my trick is to not try to fall asleep because if i try i end up staying awake longer due to frustration. i just watch youtube trombone tutorials until i pass out.
My suicide dreams were almost all me trying to drown myself. I'd then discover that I could breathe underwater and get excited about the discovery and it would disrupt the depression for the rest of the dream
hell yeah (I'm reading this sleep deprived on 6ish h of sleep and I won't be able to sleep for another 3h unless I wanna risk missing my train and I would love a bed rn)

A truly herculean effort

Nah, I'm in my 30s and see sleeping as a chore. ADHD brain also makes it really difficult to fall asleep.

A medically irresponsible quantity of sleeping pills and whiskey can solve that problem!

Probably shouldn't mix those

This was a struggle for me at first too.
Until I realized that trying not to think of anything so I can sleep, is thinking about something.
The paradox of "trying" to sleep. The harder you try, the less you sleep.

I'm 30, but I have the same problem and do the exact same thing. I also take a 10mg melatonin capsule at 7:30-8:00 every night
Muffi@programming.dev · 2 pts · 2y
Same. I've got too many awesome projects that I enjoy working on. Sleep is boring.

I got a new mattress. Really makes a difference in quality of sleep/enjoyment of sleep.
EDIT: Taking one of those mattress quizzes helped a lot. Probably not perfect, but better than just getting a mattress from a ad or youtube sponsor.

They can be so damned expensive, I'm beyond overdue for one (mine is kind collapsing in the middle).
lessthanluigi@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Yea, that is the main issue, pricing. Mine was like 1.5k, but worth it as well.

“20 and older?” Dude I was foregoing sleep in favor of doing tons of shit well into my mid-20s.
