I need Sup Forums's advice on something. I can't believe I'm even attempting to get a serious answer out of here, but I don't know who I should ask right now.

I made a killing on Bitcoin and I was able to quit my job in December. Sounds cool right? It is, except for one thing.

I can't sleep. Seriously, my insomnia is as worse as it ever has been. Let me rephrase actually: I can't sleep when I want to, and I'm starting to run up a huge sleep debt. Since Wednesday I've slept 15 hrs between 2 sessions of sleep. I think so at least.. I'm starting to have memory problems.

Has anyone here ever suffered through insomnia or gotten their circadian rhythms severely out of whack and been able to fix it? I am trying to decide what to do. I'm not going to be able to stay awake until tonight. Should I just try to fall asleep at 9 am, or should I get a shower and go to the gym or something? I am at a loss.

Not a perm solution but when I really need sleep I take like 200mg of Benadryl and my body usually shuts down

Sounds like starting steps of depression or anxiety.

See a counselor or call a suicide line just to talk to someone. Not saying you will commit it, but someone to talk to alleviates an IMMENSE amount of stress.

You should give me five bucks for a pack of smokes
Also, make a schedule including working out

Your best bet is to have a nightly cup of strong lean

you need to fix your magnesium levels user.

Don't try to stay awake until the night. You'll run a sleep debt. If it's the morning around the time you want to reset your schedule to, take a shower and get out of the house. Go to the gym. Avoid caffeine completely. If you find yourself about to crash, set your alarm for 3 hours. It's gonna suck, so set two or three. Wake up and eat a light meal, vegetarian if you can. Lebanese is good, just don't overeat. Set your next alarm for the morning and start chilling out. Get in the tub, read a book, put away the computer and TV.

What have you been doing at night?

try 200mg at breakfast and 200mg at dinner.

magnesium glycinate

I've taken everything from Benadryl to Ambien. Doesn't really do much

I'm already depressed and anxious. Not suicidal, but I've had a substance abuse problem in the past. Sober now.

Sorry bud, you should quit smoking though.

Sounds nice but off limits.

World of Tanks & Overwatch, Snapchat, porn, eating. I've put on like 10 lbs already.

seriously I've never heard of the science behind this.

Can this please stop, I feel there are no legitimate threads on this board anymore.

i fixed a patient with insomnia two days ago with the right dose/form of calcium and magnesium.

t. qualified naturopath

i've had shit insomnia myself and the only thing to cure it was mag.

for the love of god stay away from drugs (including recreational) to get to sleep

go away please.

can you link anything supporting this or explain how this works? I've heard that absorption rates for calcium supplements are shit.

i'm not doing your homework for you. there is a shit ton of literature regarding the physiological requirements of magnesium

ffs i'm giving you gold. you said you cant sleep and you want to get into medical research.

the fuck is a naturopath?

this is the reason you fuckers cant sleep. don't let the medical jew get you. our bodies need minerals not jew drugs

Not sure how much this will help, but when I was a kid. I had severe insomnia, and my doctor prescribed Trazadone. Worked almost TOO well. 30 minutes after taking it, I was pretty much unable to keep my eyes open.

Get a handle of vodka not whiskey,
brown liquor has chemicals that cause hangovers.
Put on a movie or show that you find comfort in, nothing horror or nothing depressing.
Pop one Benadryl tablet
take a glass and pour said vodka into and count to three while its pouring
However much vodka is in the glass when you are done counting is how much you are going to drink.
Drink it. Dont be a pussy.
Lay down with your show and let the warm feeling wash over you.
Concentrate on how comfy your pillows and blanket feel
set your ac thermostat to make it cold in the house
watch your show and fall asleep.

>but what if this is the road to alcoholism

Well you just have to measure that between how much you like to sleep.

sorry man life isn't fair, you will figure it out eventually, best of luck.

" Dietary deficiencies of magnesium, coupled with excess calcium and stress may cause many cases of other related symptoms including agitation, anxiety, irritability, confusion, asthenia, sleeplessness, headache, delirium, hallucinations and hyperexcitability, with each of these having been previously documented. The possibility that magnesium deficiency is the cause of most major depression and related mental health problems including IQ loss and addiction is enormously important to public health and is recommended for immediate further study."

i was just posting this for some depressed guy with erectile dysfunction

not him, but when you start railing about about jew docs, it makes your claim about magnesium sound fantastic. I'm going to try it, but.. yeah. Should Walmart have it?

Trazodone is weird. Tried it.

nope. don't drink.

The effect of magnesium supplementation on primary insomnia in elderly: A double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Nearly 50% of older adults have insomnia, with difficulty in getting to sleep, early awakening, or feeling unrefreshed on waking. With aging, several changes occur that can place one at risk for insomnia, including age-related changes in various circadian rhythms, environmental and lifestyle changes, and decreased nutrients intake, absorption, retention, and utilization. The natural N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) antagonist and GABA agonist, Mg(2+), seems to play a key role in the regulation of sleep. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of magnesium supplementation to improve insomnia in elderly.

Roll

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in 46 elderly subjects, randomly allocated into the magnesium or the placebo group and received 500 mg magnesium or placebo daily for 8 weeks. Questionnaires of insomnia severity index (ISI), physical activity, and sleep log were completed at baseline and after the intervention period. Anthropometric confounding factors, daily intake of magnesium, calcium, potassium, caffeine, calories form carbohydrates, and total calorie intake, were obtained using 24-h recall for 3 days. Blood samples were taken at baseline and after the intervention period for analysis of serum magnesium, renin, melatonin, and cortisol. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS19 and P values < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.

RESULTS:
No significant differences were observed in assessed variables between the two groups at the baseline. As compared to the placebo group, in the experimental group, dietary magnesium supplementation brought about statistically significant increases in sleep time (P = 0.002), sleep efficiency (P = 0.03), concentration of serum renin (P < 0.001), and melatonin (P = 0.007), and also resulted in significant decrease of ISI score (P = 0.006), sleep onset latency (P = 0.02) and serum cortisol concentration (P = 0.008). Supplementation also resulted in marginally between-group significant reduction in early morning awakening (P = 0.08) and serum magnesium concentration (P = 0.06). Although total sleep time (P = 0.37) did not show any significant between-group differences.

CONCLUSION:
Supplementation of magnesium appears to improve subjective measures of insomnia such as ISI score, sleep efficiency, sleep time and sleep onset latency, early morning awakening, and likewise, insomnia objective measures such as concentration of serum renin, melatonin, and serum cortisol, in elderly people.

I want to believe. But dude, you're making this really fucking shrill and obtuse sounding without saying what to do. Should I go out and buy magnesium? What kind? What dosage? When do I take it?

please dude you have insomnia you're not mentally retarded

I'm sleep deprived and cranky, but I will go to the store and get some if you tell me what to get. I'm a zombie right now bro.

It may be caused by a nutrition problem, from stress/anxiety problem, or bad habits (Or more probably a mix these three).

You have money. Go take medical tests, they will say if you have deficiency in vitamin. If you need to takes magnesium, doctors will tell you. Don't take magnesium without a good reason.


Avoid everything with artificial light before going to sleep.

>try 200mg at breakfast and 200mg at dinner.
>magnesium glycinate

Why do you think our ancestors drank, it all about sleep.

Have fun with going insane from sleep deprivation. Walking around in a daze, half in half out, not really registering whats going on. Every time you begin to fall asleep you jerk yourself awake.

Im just offering an easy remedy until you can get some help.

i even got dubs when i told your 20 mins ago

Pretty much he has insomnia and can’t really schleep

Sounds smart but I'm not making it to a doctor over the weekend. I have to be able to function at least some. It's Mardi Gras here and I have to make social appearances.

medical doctors don't prescribe magnesium. you will need a naturopathic doctor for that

>Naturopathy
>noun
>a system of alternative medicine based on the theory that diseases can be successfully treated or prevented without the use of drugs, by techniques such as control of diet, exercise, and massage.

>Lrn2google

what a bullshit def.

i use mineral therapy and herbal medicine in my practice.

Stay away from the drugs and set yourself fixed sleeping and waking times. You'll probably not fall asleep and feel like shit the first 1, 2 or more days but eventually your body gets used to it and you should be able to sleep better than ever before. At least that's how it was for me when I found out about it, after having massive issues falling asleep my whole life.

Also install f.lux. It helps reduce the blue tone of your monitor, which is also responsible for keeping you awake.

Hm, wonder if they have it for Chrome.

I've noticed that different forms of magnesium have different effects on me. Like threonate makes me feel really alert and glycinate makes me sleepy. Is there an explanation or is it just me?

Lol, you fucking idiot.

Irregular sleep patterns are not something to worry about. "Should I fall asleep at 9am"

Listen dickhead, if you need sleep, fucking sleep, don't fucking worry about what fucking time it is just fucking sleep. How dumb are you?

I've had insomnia problems like yours. I'm sleeping pretty good now. I walk about 2 miles a day, quit caffiene and alcohol, take melatonin, set my alarm for 8hrs after falling sleep or 9am whichever comes earliest. Don't nap.

Seems to have given me a good rhythm, something I haven't had in years. The alarm was a bitch in the beginning but I wake up 10 mins before it regularly now.

just stfu and start the fight club already Tyler Durden
