Have you tried melatonin? I like the dissolvable strawberry tabs ☺️ If you can tolerate a weighted blanket you can try to use that too! I sleep best when its real cold and im toasty in the covers with my body pillow. Its not easy to quiet the mind either so some days i read or do something that doesnt take processing power or like, hard attention so i can still get tired while i do it. Like playing a boring game. If anything else, talk to your doctor. If your taking any meds it could cause you to stay up or have trouble sleeping, or they may be able to rx you ambien, serroquel or lunesta. Two are control substances but these r the three i know from the pharmacy on hand.

I use a weighted blanket, microwaveable stuffed animal (warmies), and CBD oil

I use melatonin pills and play this YouTube channel “Etra-Chan saw it!” So my mind has something to do while I’m falling asleep.
