Do you have a nighttime routine? I have been suffering from insomnia for as long as I can remember. I hardly get enough sleep, and it's taking a toll on my cognitive ability. These days, I often zone out. Quite forgetful, too....

@n.J Hmm I've also read somewhere that oats help. I eat oatmeal for breakfast regularly. I'll try to eat oatmeal tonight to see if it works.

@n.J I haven't gone to the doctor because I am pretty sure I would be given sleeping pills. I've read horrible side effects of sedation.

@n.J @Raine38 Filipina professors, Pinoy language center owners, and goal-oriented people now surround me. They are extremely humble Pinoys. I felt God orchestrated everything to pull me out of a situation that was not good for me.

@n.J @Raine38 In hindsight, I would not have been able to meet my people if they had not done that to me. I am in the process of healing. I no longer see them in my dreams anymore haha.

@n.J @Raine38 Yes, they ganged up on me. I did not just distance myself from them; it was friendship over. My husband also warned them that he would report them to the authorities if they didn't stop. This may sound condescending. They came from a destitute family...

@n.J At times, I experience irritable bowel movements. Just last night, I pooped three times. My stool was loose. I am thinking maybe I overdosed on vitamin C. I took 3000 mg of it in the morning, and inadvertently took another before bedtime.
