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.
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.
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.

I’m in this comic and don’t like it.

So am I. Following a friend's advice, I started doing 30 minute exercise after work. It has helped a lot.

Sleepy and tired aren't the same. I'm mentally drained after work, but not sleepy, just zombified.

It's the brain damage

I know, it goes in the square hole.

Exactly, can't go a few hours of work without someone else's stupidity giving you brain damage.

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.

Are you calling me ignorant?

Relax! They didn’t say you had to learn anything from the book.

I followed your advice last night and reading a book did help

You telling me these guys don't lift?
CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
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.

I tried Shiatsu and it didn't help shit.

To be fair, we can't sleep partly because we spend the evening looking at a screen

^What people who don't have insomnia think it's like.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 1y
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.
Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y
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.
