Comment on Massive issues with sleep and desperate for a solution.
Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 weeks agobut gaining sleep is quite worth it.
also consider a hot bath/spa.
its all about relaxing your thoughts and your muscles. stop trying to figure things out and let go.
im surprised i havent seen more mention of deep breathing. if you can relax all your muscles and then drop your breathing down to 8 seconds a breathe, you should drift off to sleep within a few minutes.

I’ve of taking some meditation classes or something. The stress has taken its toll on my health and I don’t know how much more my body can take.

you have to figure out if the stress source is worth it to you. maybe you can change your work situation or expectations. maybe its a combination of 10 things and you can control 3 of them.

I’m a freelance video editor for reality tv. It’s extremely stressful, especially now with the state of the industry. I’ve let my other skills (used to be a programmer and designer in the video game industry) decay far too much and frankly that industry isn’t faring too well either. There’s really no great answer for my occupation. I just really need to learn how to manage the stresses of life for another 10-15 years before I can retire. Just hoping I can make it to that goal.

maybe make a list of 20 places you’d rather work and reach out to them. and set some boundaries with your crazy family members.
