Yeah, so much this. In my case it's designing or "coding" (still in my head) something related to my current projects. There's no point in going to bed if I have some unsolved project-related problem because I will not be sleeping anyway...
Haha, yeah, I know it very well. It can help but it's not a silver bullet. I can't (and don't want to) use it every day because it affects my cognitive abilities too much. Also, even with weed I still need to actively distract myself with something else, because otherwise I'll end up just as hyperfixated, but also high.
Y'all, ask your doctor about a sleep aid. I got a prescription that changed my life. It's so nice being able to settle the noise at night and actually get 7-8 hours of sleep.

Is that hard to find? Genuinely don't know since all of my diagnoses got spotted before I turned 18.

Nah, it takes long for my brain to sleep because it's just screaming at itself constantly.
