I’ve had insomnia outside of burnout but this feels so strongly like a personal failure. I have so many tricks to try to get to sleep and sometimes they work but sometimes they don’t and there’s nothing I can pinpoint in my emotions or day that’s different. I have a sleep routine and I take 5mg of time release melatonin and that makes a big difference but if I lose track of time I can miss that precious window (even after taking the melatonin) and have to wait until I collapse or the next sleep routine designated time.
I can’t imagine going through this while being sick or injured. I feel lucky that I could heal from my hysterectomy before the burnout really kicked in. I’m sorry that you’re dealing with everything at once, that sounds unbearable.
