Insomnia

[Emmazero]

For the sake of my health, I can't stay up late playing games anymore. I'm trying to go to bed early, but I'm finding I can't fall asleep. What should I do?

Happened to me a while ago, and I just started sleeping when I feel sleepy. I probably get less sleep this way, but it's better sleep.

I'm no expert on this, there may be multiple causes for your insomnia case, and (other assorted disclaimers).

With that being said, here are some general tips:

• You may need time to adjust to a new schedule, especially if you're going to bed earlier than before.
• Reading a book may assist with calming your body down. Meditation is always a good choice too.
• You may need to expend more energy during the day. If you're sitting at the computer for long periods, that may contribute to the issue. A light exercise routine is a good idea, if you can fit it into your schedule.
• I wouldn't recommend using screens too close to bedtime. The stimulation from the light may keep you awake.
• Avoid eating too late or having sugar, caffeine, etc. in the evening. In fact, I recommend not having any stimulating beverages (coffee, black teas, matcha power drinks, etc.) after lunch.

It's not much, but I hope this helps.

Go on a long walk in the desert, find a lamp and then rub.... the genie out.

But the genie doesn't look like a cop

Have you tried Melatonin pills? They're a god send for sleep aid. If you do decide to buy some, I suggest 1mg, less is more!

This could be a little serious

You could try turning off everything, and if you want, drink a little hot water so your body can relax just enough to fall asleep

If its wayyyy too serious, set up a schedule

1. Game until 8/9PM
2. Leave your phone or laptop away from you, like in the living room
3. Lay down, in complete darkness and personally, i like rolling up in the matress like a burrito :3, butttt thats your choice

I wish you the best of luck, and hope you acomplish great stuff in life ^^
