Sleep. Always take the option to sleep.

And actually sleep, don’t lay in bed playing on your phone half the time.

If you can access it then it would probably be worth doing a sleep study, if you haven’t already. There’s a lot of reasons you may be sleeping terribly and many of them are fixable or at least treatable.

And if you’re going to at the very least filter out all the blue light.

But really, don’t. The phone is too stimulating.

Yes, but cold turkey can be tough for some people. I have my phone set to automatically turn greyscale at night. It helps.

3 hours of sleep

Coffee will make me feel miserable if I drank it at the wrong time

Three hours of sleep. The more insufficient that three hours is, the more you need it.

Quoting from my favorite blog speedsmart, “Any amount of sleep is better than none”.

You can actually try both. When my husband is exhausted from insomnia, he gets up in the middle of the night and makes a cup of coffee, and it somehow knocks him out enough to fall asleep.

Highly doubt if you can get high quality sleep that way

Insomnia sucks tho, I can’t sleep no matter how hard I try when I am stressed and it’s brutal, can’t imagine going thru that every single day

Coffee is a stimulant and stimulants can absolutely cause drowsiness in people, usually those of us with ADHD.

If I’m not tired I can drink a small espresso and the stimulation from the caffeine wakes my brain up enough to actually deliver the sleepy hormones (this is how my Dr described it to me, anyway)
