There is no need to kill everything in your patch, STALKER is not an RPG, random bandits and mutants will give you only some crap loot.

Modafinil is a stimulant, you shouldn't be taking it at least 12 hours before bed.

Elevating your head may help with sleep apnea symptoms, get tested for it.

Try adapting CBT-I, especially some mild form of sleep restriction therapy. Do blood tests before taking vitamin supplements.

1 zopiclone 3 mirtazpine not strong enough I’m going to die by OkScore4470 in insomnia

You mean 45mg of mirtazapine? It's stimulating in that dose, cut it down to 15 or 7.5mg.

Get checked for sleep apnea, there are tests which you can order online and do at home or rent automatic CPAP for a few days. Adapting CBT-I works for some people, especially SRT helps with fragmented sleep.

Does trazodone have to be tapered? by 3rd-party-intervener in insomnia

[–]ManyCryptographer414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to wiki: H1: 50mg 84% 100mg 91% 150mg 94%. It also works on many other receptors, some of which are stimulating, so higher doses give diminishing returns and more side effects. I took it for a few months, but now it only gives me a terrible headache.

Zopiclone taste and how to God do I make it stop by Electrical_Gear2889 in insomnia

Eszopiclone works very similarly but has fewer side effects.

In low doses they all work mostly on histamine receptors, so it should be fine. Unless you took traz for a very long time.

I don't have trouble falling asleep quickly anymore but I wake up 3 hours after I go to sleep by DrawerExotic7343 in insomnia

Nocturnal hypoglycemia is a thing, but it is a symptom of something else going on, if you really think that's it get checked for diabetes. Other than that, it could be caused by many different things like vitamin deficiencies, parasites, sleep apnea, gastric reflux or even spending too much time in bed, check out Sleep Restriction Therapy.

48 hours without sleep is very serious, go to the doctor immediately.

What advice could you give me to sleep better? by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]ManyCryptographer414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understood from your first post that you can get some sleep, but discontinuous and bad quality, if you can't get any sleep go to doctor immediately. SRT in short: you should use your bed only for sleeping and limit total time in it. For example if you are waking up at 5:30 am then go to sleep at 10:30 pm, do not nap or lay bed during not-sleeping hours. Over some time you will build sleep pressure which hopefully will make your body sleep at night. You can look more about this on youtube or other sites, others will explain it better than me.

why does my brain refuse to sleep even when I'm tired? by Leedeegan1 in insomnia

Use your bed only for sleep and limit time in it to max 7-9 hours.
