Can't sleep - hate life

I hate nights like this so much.

For some reason, I just can't sleep!!!

I go to bed for about an hour or 2 and them I'm up ALL night.

Usually, I then pass out around 12pm to 3 pm and start the cycle all over!

I hate my life!

It’s awful isn’t it. What strategies have you tried? Is it a long term thing or quite new?
I don’t sleep well now and use sleep patches, Magnesium spray and my Snoozeband.
I listen to a mixture of prepared classical music playlists, sleep sounds albums and some from BBC Sounds including the Sleeping Forecast.
Very rare for me to sleep through though. I struggle to get to sleep and I’m often awake for hours in the early hours.
Have you spoken to your GP?

If this happens often, I'd look into a sleep therapist

Snoozeband here too. Coffee after 11am is also a no no for me.

What’s your day like?
Magnesium glycinate could help
