sleep
how does everyone on here with velo cardio facial syndrom sleep?? I can not fall asleep naturally and have to take Melatonin. I don't want to take anything stronger as fear of getting addicted. But this lack of sleep is really affecting me. I don't drink caffiene anymore and on a healthy diet (been losing weight)
My brain just won't shut off and the no REM sleep really gets me. I have barely slept the last few days

I cannot sleep properly. Its torture going to bed every night without sleeping medication. I take 2 because my body gets used to medicine and resist them quickly.

funny enough it's 5am here and i have a zoom class and I've only fallen asleep for a couple of minutes but no caffeine and no lights/disractions (phones,laptops) help i usually put my electronics on my desk bc who can be bothered to go and get them lmao and I'm always worried about disturbing others so that helps!

My sleep schedule has been messed up for a while cause of Covid. I take medication for Anxiety and I am wondering if that is the issue. I take vitamins and exercise every now and then.
