Sentiments of a Sleepypotterhead: WHEN SLEEPING AT NIGHT IS HARD

acoustic, pop, r and b and blues

no matter what music I choose

I can't seem to be in a trance

is there any chance?

To sleep without difficulty

Anything I will do to sleep peacefully again

An unlikely post, I know, but these days sleep just doesn't come to me and it's kind of frustrating at the same time tiring.

Sleeping patterns tend to change every time there's a change on your schedule but I've been finding it difficult to sleep at night since several years ago.

I even had insomnia that one whole year and I don't even know how I got through it and to be honest, I don't even know if I still have it.

Maybe because it's because of stress, or something else (maybe the room is too hot (or cold), there's too much light, the room is humid or whatnot) but nevertheless, I'm still looking for ways to change my sleeping pattern and will keep at it before the new semesters strikes.

Some possible things that will help get sleep at night:

supplements (this I take everyday, especially when I know I'm losing too much sleep)
drinking a glass of water before going to bed (especially in summer)
wearing a sleep mask (even though I find it hard to see when it's dark, I still use it for convenience, especially when my sister suddenly opens the light when she needs to take the loo)
shifting pillows (or sometimes I don't use any head pillow to straighten my back, or so I thought, nevertheless I find it calmly to lay flat in my bed)
listening to calming music a few minutes before going into bed'
not taking a nap in daylight (so I'll be exhausted at night that I would get to sleep right away)
waking up early (so I'll be exhausted at night that I would get to sleep right away)

But these are just a few things that I think would help get sleep (it may work on you or not, because some of these rarely works on me as well).
