I have a hard time falling asleep. I've been an insomniac since I was about 12 years old, and my mom said I was always very slow to fall asleep as a young child. My brain doesn't like to shut down at night, my thoughts start pinballing around my head, and it can take hours to wind down, but I have ADHD, so it's not an unexpected issue.

One of the best tips I ever stumbled on was to limit or eliminate screen time in the evening, and use blue light blocking glasses if you are on electronics. The light throws off your circadian rhythm, makes it hard for your brain to shut down.

That’s usually my problem too unless I’m super tired. Today, I can’t seem to stay awake. I keep dozing.
