    Horribly bad! My best times would be sleep from 3am to 11am and work 5pm to 1am. This is simply not possible in our society so I feel tired and unproductive my entire work life so far.

    Awful. I often take 1-2 hours to manage to fall asleep and I always wake up feeling absolutely fucked, usually taking at least another hour to get out of bed.

    Add it all up and I usually end up wasting ~3 hours of my life every single day on sleep. I’ve tried pretty much anything under the sun short of nuclear options like Ambien (which I’m terrified of), nothing seems to help.

    I’m “unusual” in that I’m a morning person, not by choice. Once I’m awake, I’m awake. Could be 6:30AM, could be 4AM. My mind just starts racing and I know going “back to sleep” isn’t happening. These days I tend to fall asleep easily (although, not so much in the past), but there’s no going back when I wake up, so on an average night I’m nodding out before 10. I had a sleep study done, and for me it was a huge waste of money, i.e. " You don’t have sleep apnea. You don’t need tranquilizers. See ya."

    I’ve had insomnia for years now, and I’ve taken trazodone and melatonin, but it was still a struggle to get tired sometimes. In January I started also taking diphenhydramine hcl, and it’s made a world of difference.

    I’m not going to cite a specific brand, but there a a bunch out there if you want to try it for yourself.

    There’s some revenge bedtime procrastination going on sometimes that affects my sleep schedule so I guess I could sleep a bit more

    It’s weird, but since I quit vaping over a year ago I sleep pretty amazingly. Used to wake up ~8PM exhausted, or not until 11 PM and groggy.
