I did sleep studies, medicines (including modafinil which worked but had scary sides), natural supplements (which helped but tended to result in lesser quality sleep).
In the end I needed to make sleep my number one priority and I focused on it for several months.
I slowly built up what worked for me, but likely won't work for you. A lot of being in bed at 10 staring at a dark ceiling for 3+ hours. Getting into meditation (in the am, not evening), exercising but never after noon and not eating after 6. Alcohol in any amount won't prevent my sleep but will vastly deteriorate the quality.
It took tons of trial and error to do what medical professionals couldn't help with. My conclusion is sleep is complicated and highly individual. You need to identify the things that wreck your sleep and pick them off with serious attention to them.

- 0xcde4c3db 5y ago> Isn't modafinil a stimulant? It's... stimulant-ish? Nobody seems to know exactly how it works.
- pkoird 5y agoCan you even get that without a prescription?
- thamer 5y agoThe answer is "yes"… from online pharmacies that ship it from India. Whether you get the real product or a counterfeit version is anyone's guess.
- unmole 5y agoIt seems to legally retail at 0.25 USD per pill: https://www.1mg.com/drugs/modalert-100-tablet-19037 https://www.1mg.com/drugs/modalert-100-tablet-19037 I assume online pharmacies sell at a heavy markup. It hardly seems like counterfeiting would be worth the effort.
