    No meds here so I can’t speak from that perspective, but I too wake up in the night a fair bit.

    Routine helps me, and not staying up super late. Especially in the summer when the light comes in at 5 in the morning. Blackout blinds also help if you don’t have those already.

    Relaxing activities before bed might help. There's sleep noise apps that have a range of tunes to listen to for sleep. What about listening to relaxing songs to end your day? Particularly your favourite relaxing songs @toffuna101

    i wear headphones with rain sounds bc i cant fall asleep without it 😅 but it can help relax.
    keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you. 🤍
