I get anxiety-induced insomnia too. What I find works amazingly is lie in bed with your eyes shut, and visualize drawing numbers in wet sand with a stick. Visualizing uses a part of your brain that is linked with dreaming so you will fall asleep quite quickly. I don't ever remember getting to 3 it works that well.
I don't have anxiety in any way but i do suffer from insomnia due to my pain and nothing i have tried helps besides vaping weed and lots of it just before i go to bed. By doing that i at least get 2-3 hours of sleep each night. If i don't do weed before going to bed i can just forget sleeping all together.
Sometimes i have to get up at night and vape some more weed to be able to at least rest somewhat. Chronic pain sucks man...
yea man my sleep is horriable I can usually fall asleep no problem however staying asleep is impossible I usually in bed for 4 to 6 hours but get up threw the night a few times atleast than have to take a nap for an hour but lately I sleep better at times when I nap ... intill recently last year now I start nodding off I'll do that a few times and pass right out which is really messed up where I pass out with the phone in my hand. Ideally I'll do this same sleep pattern for a month or two than my body just complete shots down and I'll sleep for 4 or 6 hours without waking up but my body feels like I have weights in my body especially in my arms

Damn, this all sounds pretty familiar. I too am on gabapentine amongst others. I find it make me feel dull, thankfully I have replaced most of it with weed.
Insomnia is a bitch, I rarely get to sleep before 4am and if my pain is flairing not even then.
I need to find a strain to grow that helps with sleep, anyohe got any pointers?

So I cant remeber my dose right now however I am suppose to take 1 pill in moring 1 pill afternoon and two before bed ..... however I hate taking pills so I usually just take two or 3 at night..... when I dont take them cause I forget ..... and before ii got prescribed them I'd wake up and be in allot of pain hard to explain but than my body is in so much shock that I start throwing up straight stomach bile this happens about 95% percent of the time and it fucking sucks... I to need to find one I think I do have one I'll have to check my mind wonders sometimes so I forget to check bit recently start winning some seeds so all than do more research but in all honestly man if I didnt have something like this gabapentin I'd lose my mind cause I was in so much pain of my nerves firing I just wanted to cry and docters wouldnt help me .... the cold affects my body allot cause it tightens up than puts pressure on my nerves .... but I hate the rain days the most ... I feel yean man I am sure if I was able to sleep better than my body would atleast try to heal better but it's been over 10 years dealing with this so I basically have except it ... I am sorry your going trew this stuff to man maybe try to just take the pills at night I can tell you my mg later if you'd like it's not a cure but it definitely helps and like I said without it I'd proballu check myself in the lonney been or wanna be put in a coma cause it litterly puts so much stress on the body

I started smoking it as a teen, then when I met my misses, I quit because when she's stoned, she never shuts up, whereas I like to sit n chill, watch tv n listen to music. Then a mate got me onto growing for her, then I had a mental breakdown and was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, got prescribed meds that robbed me of my personality, used hash to get off the meds, learned THC Bud triggers my anxiety but CBD bud and extracts doesn't so now I smoke hash, extracts, CBD Bud, eat edibles but grow bud for my misses.
yea u feel yea man the mess you up mental and just how you act feel lost .... amd yea I find certain strains can make anxciety and I'f something happens drama or something that stress you out it like it gets you super high and panic
