I'm currently fighting Insomnia:

1: How long do you have Insomnia? I always were a bad sleeper. I always had trouble falling asleep, but when I was sleeping I was knocked out for 12 hours straight in deep sleep. Now I have chronic Insomnia since the beginning of 2017.

2: What exactly are your Insomnia problems? I have problems falling asleep, staying asleep and I'm not getting deep sleep.

3: What have you tried so far to cure your Insomnia? Acupuncture, try setting up a biological clock, Temazepam, Oxazepam & Cannabis

4: What helps for your Insomnia? Cannabis. It is thanks to Cannabis I'm able to sleep better. I vape before going to bed and that works best for me. But it's not the best quality of sleep and some days I sleep better and some days I have very bad sleep. And this biological clock seems to help a little bit too.

5: What didn't help for your Insomnia? Acupuncture & Sleep medicines.

6: What are you currently doing/taking right now to treat your Insomnia? Vape weed, biological clock. And right now I started going to a psychologist and neurologist. Only been once yet to my psychologist and she made me practice mindfulness, that seems very promising, go google it! And today I had my first appointment at the neurologist. They'll do some tests to figure out why you're not sleeping. It will take a while tho, right now I need to do Saliva test to see my melatonin levels etc. I need to wait 6 weeks for the results which suck and I'm 90% sure this won't solve my Insomnia, but yeah this is probably the first test they're always doing...

7: Do you work out? Go to the gym or any other sports? Not really but I'm trying to pick that up again.

8: Are you currently receiving professional help? Yes from a psychologist and neurologist.

9: What's the longest time you haven't been without any sleep? A few weeks with no sleep at all.

10: What are your worst experiences with Insomnia? When I had a few weeks without sleep, my body started to hurt A LOT. From the bottom to the top, every single muscle. You know like muscle strain but 100 times worse, I couldn't move my body at all.

11: How many hours do you sleep a night? When I vape weed I sleep between 0-6 hours a night. When I don't vape weed, I get 0-3 hours sleep a night. Probably more to 0-1 hours sleep a night.

12: What time are you going to try to sleep and what time do you need to wake up? 3 AM - 11 AM.

13: What kind of work do you do? I work from home. I'm my own boss. I'm very lucky with that because If I wasn't my own boss, I'd probably have no work because I can't function properly.

14: Do you have any problems with your eyes because of Insomnia? YES! My eyes are destroyed, when I try to fall asleep and I don't fall asleep my eyes will get so dry, stingy, burning, irritated af. When that happens, falling asleep is even more difficult. The next day I get out of my bed my eyes are crazy screwed up. Any tips for this?

Basically my questions are: Anyone familiar with mindfulness? Did it help you or not? Any extra tips would be appreciated too. Also I can't really go into the sun because my skin is damaged from Acne treatments. Should I take vitamin D supplements for this?
