I’ve exhausted every sleep tip I found online without success. I avoid caffeine six hours before bed, use a weighted blanket, maintain a pitch-black room, and stay still without using videos or music to fall asleep. I turn off all devices an hour before bedtime and have tried both prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids (the former made me feel terrible, the latter did nothing). I’ve also tried hypnosis, the army sleep method, and the 4-7-8 breathing technique. I exercise regularly, eat well, and don’t feel stressed. Despite this, I only sleep when I’m about to collapse from exhaustion after nearly 24 hours awake, and even then, I only get 6-7 hours of fragmented sleep. I hate that I slept from 8 AM to 4 PM today. I need help and don’t know what to do next.
Try a combination of half a 7.5 mg tablet of Remeron, Apigenin, L-Theanine, and L-Tryptophan. It might help you.

Does the Remeron make you dizzy at all?

Not at all. I wake up a bit grumpy but rested, and be aware, it can cause weight gain if your diet isn’t great.
Let me know if you find a solution. I’m struggling too.

Try half a 7.5 mg tablet of Remeron, Apigenin, L-Theanine, and L-Tryptophan nightly. It may seem like a lot, but it’s better than not sleeping.
@Peyton
Every night?
Yes, although it seems like a lot, not sleeping is worse. The combination really helps me sleep solidly.
Have you checked for any vitamin deficiencies? That might be a good start.

I’m taking supplements for low iron and vitamin D and will get my blood tested soon at work.

A vitamin D deficiency could definitely affect your sleep. Combined with other issues, it might be causing your sleep problems.
Try magnesium glycinate. It works well for me.
Zoloft significantly improved my sleep.
Cutting out caffeine completely improved my sleep quality dramatically.
Consider your lighting, like using dimmable lamps, and exposing yourself to sunlight in the morning to help regulate your sleep cycle. Also, check your room temperature and meal timing before bed.
Try smoking weed early in the evening; it helps some people sleep.
Don’t self-medicate. Try relaxing activities and maybe some natural sleep aids like chamomile or lavender tea. It’s also a good idea to check with an endocrinologist to make sure your vitamins and hormones are balanced.
