why can’t i sleep even after trying melatonin?
Last night, I was staring at the ceiling at 2am, listening to the neighbor’s dog bark and the distant hum of traffic. Usually, I fall asleep without much trouble, but lately, it’s like my brain just refuses to shut down. I even tried melatonin, but it didn’t do much except make me feel groggy the next morning.
I keep replaying old memories and tomorrow’s to-do list in my head, and the more I try to relax, the more awake I feel. I even tried counting sheep, but honestly, that just made me more annoyed.
Does anyone else have this problem, especially when there’s noise outside or your mind just won’t stop racing? Have you found anything that actually works—like a certain kind of tea, a podcast, or maybe a weird sleep routine? I’m starting to wonder if I’m missing some secret trick.
It’s so frustrating when everyone else seems to be sleeping soundly and I’m wide awake, counting down the hours until sunrise. If you’ve been through this, what’s helped you finally drift off? I’d love to hear your stories (and maybe steal your tricks!).
