Taking nutritional yeast (B complex) before sleep has helped my brain activity a lot. Better sleep, more lucid dreams, waking in a better mood. 1-2 hours before bed, 1 spoon, still experimenting.

Any luck finding an affordable nutritional yeast without synthetic vitamins? Other than buying bulk.

What's wrong with synthetic vitamins?

If they are not all water soluble, you might be taking too much of one (or more). This is not always safe.

The funny thing is you do still take vitamins in your diet through “functional foods.” Another trick that might help someone for those nights where your brain races too much to sleep: get out of bed and write down all the thoughts you’re having with a pen/pencil and paper. Avoid a computer screen since the light really will keep you up and energized.

I mostly solved my sleeping issue after many years of trial and error by having a speaker by the bed and then on low volume play a podcast that's interesting enough to listen to but not interesting enough to keep me engaged. This helps me by keeping my mind focused on something unimportant instead of racing around, when I inevitably try to focus on something else it's drowned out by the podcast.

I tell anyone who will listen about the podcast "Sleep with Me." Scooter is a master of being just-interesting-enough but in a very soothing voice. For all I know he's hypnotizing me every night because I'm always able to fall asleep long before the episode is over.

Any suggestions on what to do about it?

There is a book I'm currently reading that lines up nicely with what is discussed in this study. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007QMZ7Z8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?... The theory laid out is that early childhood trauma gets stored in the body, and that there has to be a bottom-up approach to dealing with the afteraffects of this. A top-down approach that is purely cognitive won't suffice. I'm not yet at the treatment portio…

Have you read The Body Keeps the Score? Extremely well done book that comes to a similar conclusion

Music or a podcast like this has always worked really well to solve insomnia issues for me. Unfortunately it led me to discover a new issue - when I fall asleep listening to anything, even on low volume, there's a really good chance I'll sleep through my alarm(s) in the morning.

Anyone else ever run into that?

Picked this up, thanks. I'll give another recommendation for another commenter's suggestion of "the body keeps the score".
