The cure should be a simple one, then: find a place on the other side of the globe from where you are now, and move there! Problem solved.
Have you tried zolpidem? Knocks you out in minutes. Don’t need full dose. Use in combination with natural supplements (eg valerian, melatonin) to stay asleepI have recently started to not be able to fall asleep until 5 am, and this is with Valerian, Melatonin, GABA and Kava! I just lay there feeling sleepy, so I also keep a few books bedside so I can turn on the light and read until sleep finally comes. I think I will start writing at night like I used to years ago. At least I will be accomplishing something!

Nothing of the kind for me. Simply puts you to sleep, quicklyI did a quick Google on zolpidem. It is known as Ambien in US and Stilnox in Australia. It seems dangerous and causes erratic behaviour.
A bit too frightening for me.

From personal experience, a full dose will knock you out inside 30 minutes, guaranteed. You actually start to hallucinate, if you force yourself to stay awake. If you allow yourself to relax, you will be asleep under 15 minutes.So, if I did decide to ask for it, a half dose is ok?

Someone else on here mentioned a couple a years ago that they had their cortisol tested & it’s reversed for us - low in the morning, high in the evening. It’s a fairly simple medical testFor some reason I have a similar pattern. Around 6pm+ I start waking up more than all day and by midnight my anxiety builds, like a challenge on adrenaline or cortisol. Isn’t there an at home test for this?
