I'm sure a lot of you, like I, have trouble sleeping. I lay awake at night and hate myself, hate my life, and wish it would all end. I particularly like to find meditations and ASMR videos to help me sleep, I just wish that something existed which was more affirming of a pro-choice philosophy. Would it be possible to make something like that? What do you all use for sleep aids? All too often the stuff I listen to has affirmations, which just feels disingenuous.

I haven't found anything reliable that helped me get to sleep, from prescription drugs to all sorts of herbal remedies or breathing exercises or mind hacks. My mind just won't switch off no matter what and that's what keeps me awake.

The only thing that did work regularly was getting mortal stinking drunk, but that's hugely unhealthy and although you'll get to sleep, you won't get much of it, plus you wake up feeling 10 times worse. Defeats the whole purpose of sleeping.

Some people swear by weed, never worked for me though, just made the mind switching off issie worse. I haven't yet tried CBD oil, and I've seen a lot of insomniacs praising that - the fact it's cheap and legal makes it worth a go.

I can't listen to anything with positive affirmations , I even tried the subliminal ones and just ended up having weird dreams . I listen to rain sounds sometimes but found creepy bedtime stories work best for me as it distracts my mind a little more .
