Hello there! I barley sleep and when i do its awful hours. It was helping me to exercise to help get me tired. Also try setting a scedual and mabey alarms on your phone to stick to the scedual.

If you can do this you will get there..

1. Walk for about 3 to 4 hours a day, if at all you can, with your friends or with anybody. Listen to songs while doing that.

2. Play a sport for 1 to 2 hours a day that you love to play and can exhaust you.

3. Don't change your routine all of a sudden, your body will not take that, do it gradually like waking up 15 to 30 mins earlier than the previous day every day.

4. Say no to screens after 6 pm.

5. Do yoga and meditation if time allows.

6. Pranayam and meditation will soothe your mind more than anything.

Hope this helps.

Regards!

I keep waking up at 3:30. I know so many people who wake up at 3:00 or 3:30 that it is weird. It doesn't matter what time I go to sleep. It is rare for me to go back to sleep

Dear Marshall,has your sleep improved and do you suffer anxiety?I feel so ill now with exhaustion and extreme depression I can’t do anything but cry,I see my glaucoma consultant next Monday and going to ask him if I can take any anti-depressant without effecting my eye pressure because this is a living hell,I am so anxious can’t eat and worrying about everything 24/7.I do hope we see better days (and nights) take care and stay safe

I'm currently experiencing the same. Have had probably 10 hours of sleep in the past few days. I feel terrible. Wish I could help you friend ❤️ sadly, I'm struggling as well. Not alone tho 🤍

I feel ya, ive been having panic attacks the last two days and I couldnt do anything to stop them, its so frustrating. It eventually passed over time, but it feels like forever. You are not alone ❤️

For me, MUSIC!!!! Whatever can lift your mood. Play, Had A Bad Day by Daniel Powter. Or play some crazy song by Kesha to have a laugh. Or Randy Rainbow. Or to calm down, look up meditation music on YouTube. If you don't want to be depressed and sad, stay away from Adele.😟
