Every night I’m up trying to sleep. I’m not sure if my insomnia is due to anxiety or something else, but I know fighting to fall asleep is only worsening my anxiety at night. 

I try many sleep aids such as lorazepam, melatonin, vitamin c supplements, and lavender. 

But I feel like I’m just waisting my lorazepam cause it’s still not putting a dent on my sleep unless I take multiple. 

Do I really need my full 8 hours if my body isn’t giving it to me naturally? 

I just don’t wanna screw up my serotonin or dopamine receptors more than I already have..

I went on a stim bender a little bit ago and it ended with some crystal / molly but that was weeks ago. Could not getting a full 8 hours still be bad for my serotonin and dopamine levels, or have those mostly had enough time to recover since then?
