Read a few chapters of a book that's interesting but not exciting (currently, I'm using St. Augustine's "City of God"

Fellow insomnia sufferer here. A few things that may help:

May 14, 7:34am

runnincoug

May 14, 7:46am

Yeah, sleep maintenance insomnia is the worst

May 14, 7:51am

Benadryl or anything with that same thing give me mad restless legs.
