In exactly the same way though I can’t sleep if I’m excited about something, or really interested in solving a problem. That’s basically impossible to switch off, even if I could totally de-stress. This has basically been my experience for as long as I can remember (back to primary school).

In the end I saw a sleep doctor and he prescribed a low-dose melatonin regimen (1mg in a sublingual suspension, I take it about an hour before bed) and it’s actually worked pretty amazingly. Per my sleep tracking I’m averaging more than an hour extra per night and spending a lot less time in bed trying to go to sleep.
