Nah, I'm in my 30s and see sleeping as a chore. ADHD brain also makes it really difficult to fall asleep.

im almost 40 and my trick is to not try to fall asleep because if i try i end up staying awake longer due to frustration. i just watch youtube trombone tutorials until i pass out.

I'm 30, but I have the same problem and do the exact same thing. I also take a 10mg melatonin capsule at 7:30-8:00 every night

Until I realized that trying not to think of anything so I can sleep, is thinking about something.

I got a new mattress. Really makes a difference in quality of sleep/enjoyment of sleep.

EDIT: Taking one of those mattress quizzes helped a lot. Probably not perfect, but better than just getting a mattress from a ad or youtube sponsor.

“20 and older?” Dude I was foregoing sleep in favor of doing tons of shit well into my mid-20s.
