I wake up at 2 am every night. I dont know what to do. Sometimes I wake up and just cry.
For some reason 9 months ago, I started to wake up at the same time every single night. About 2 am. And I think I have had two nights where I haven't woken up.
I tried to think of causes but I cant, at first I thought it was stress, then thought its possibly a side effect of the adhd meds but I had been on those for two years no problem. Then I thought maybe its a side effect of my nexplanon implant starting to wear off, it was due for a replacement.
But months went by, I tried not taking my drugs for a few days, I went onto non hormonal birth control, tried sleep hygiene, whatever you can find online, I've tried it. I think I gave up on that stuff when I tried the 'get out of bed and do a calming activity' and despite multiple attempts, was awake the rest of the night. After that I said fuck it and just used weed.
I've tried magnesium, melatonin, l-theanine, cbd, even magnesium baths and none of that helped. I finally asked my doctor and I've tried three different medications, one not doing anything and the other two just made me fall asleep but I still woke up. Although I do miss that wonderful, too tired to keep my eyes open feeling.
The only thing that helps is weed. And even then it doesnt work every night, it just makes me not feel so stifled and upset anymore so I can at least lie down in bed comfortably.
I dont know what to do, sometimes I wake up and I just cry because im so tired and just want to sleep.
I am a hot sleeper but even on nights im not hot, I wake up.
I dont know what to do, im honestly tempted to just stay up until 2 am and then sleep, at least on the weekends, normally I have to be up at 6am for work.
