Fml the sun's about to come up and I still can't fall asleep. Dear Brain, please shut up.

(side thought: was that basically my brain telling itself to shut up? Useless things like this keep me up at night lol...)

Edit: well hello Mr. Sun. Seems like a lot of people leave their phones outside but I feel like it'd add to my insomnia, having me wonder if family might try to contact me with an emergency. Saw some good suggestions so I will definitely give those a try, thank you!

I've always been a light sleeper and had trouble falling asleep. About 5 years ago (I'm 50 now) I finally gave up trying to self managed through lifestyle and turned to CBD/CBG/CBN sleep aides as well as a light muscle relaxer (Tizanadine, 2mg) and my sleep is awesome now. I actually sleep through the night and am not drowsy during the day.

I take my stuff and use my phone until I get sleepy and I'm out within 10 minutes after I put the phone down.

My reasoning at this point is that lack of sleep is more harmful than using the muscle relaxer daily and the CBD/CBG/CBN and it has been working great.
