My problem has typically not been getting to sleep, but waking up. For a long time for probably 5 nights out of 7, I would wake up after five hours more or less independently of when I went to bed. If I had 2-3 hours to lie in bed I would eventually go back to sleep and then get 2-3 hours of deep sleep that felt great. But that was impossible on weeknights, so ages of getting five hours of sleep a night sucked. I managed, but it didn’t feel good. I’d already done other sleep-hygiene things years ago. Best thing by a lot for my sleep has been taking a dose of Doxepin before I go to bed. The large majority of the time I’ll get 7-8 hours of solid sleep and the difference has been huge.
