Also an insomniac. I’ve ran into “sleep anxiety” over the past few years which, for me, means becoming anxious when I think I’m supposed to go to bed.

Things that have helped:

- Minimum of 10K steps per day

- Weightlifting and HIIT

- 0 light in my room (windowless room)

What has helped most:

- Letting go of a rigid schedule and just letting tiredness dictate when I go to bed.

My lifestyle is a luxury I can afford because I don’t have kids. I imagine being a parent would really make dealing with insomnia much more difficult.



Become parent and your insomnia would be gone in a few weeks. You would be exhausted mentally and physically. Drained out. I remember my child when she was 1 - 2 years old. Jesus Christ... I slept wherever I could. In car, even in toilet at work.


Same struggle. I found weight liftibg to make it worse maybe due to cortisol but cardio and tennis to make it better. I do lift weights some times but always followed by cardio
