Thanks for the replies.

More of my history: 4 years ago, I had a reaction to chlonazapam resulting in Akathisia which is an inner agitation. I was put on Remeron  (antidepressant)and benzos that made me feel dead but still hard to sleep.

I still have Akathisia which Dr. says doesn’t really interfere with sleep. I started weaning off Remeron and developed an insane histamine intolerance.  So many foods I eat cause my heart to race and interferes with sleep.

I’m going to try to start fasting 1 day/week and only eat during an 8 hour period the other 6 days.

I have tried staying awake till 11 or 12 but if I fight it, I just wake up again and can’t even get to sleep later.

This had been a particularly bad week for me. I have only rested 1 day this week. I hope the fasting will help.

So, I have a medical basis for my insomnia along with the stress of constant exhaustion. I’ve tried working out but it doesn’t have any effect on my sleep and sometimes makes it worse.

I fall asleep early from total exhaustion and can sleep deep for a few hours. I am waking at 3 or 4 and most times don’t go back to sleep. I haven’t had to set an alarm in years.
