I can't sleep again / myLot

Philippines

February 16, 2025 1:15pm CST

It's now 3:10 in the morning but I haven't slept yet. I did crossword puzzles but sleep hasn't come yet. I boiled banana peel and I'm waiting for it to cool so that I can drink it. I read it online that it is good for insomnia so this... It's just a sort of an experiment. Just trying it. Hope it is effective and that I am doing it right.

Do you have insomnia as well? I'm sorry to hear that.

Yes, I have. But it's not every night that I experienced this. I had its since I was a kid. As far as I can remember I was still in the grade school when it started.

@pahak627 I've had insomnia since I was a teenager. My school years were pure torture and it all snowballed into health problems in my teenage years that then evolved in even more health problems due to prolonged narcissistic abuse during my adulthood.

So we were awake at the same early this morning. Anyway, I had slept for about 4 hours I guess.

@rakski It's okay. Maybe we can have a really good sleep tonight.

I have not tried that, but I like to boil sweet plantains.

Maybe it's a bit effective or it was that I was really going to sleep already. After I drank the banana peel water, I felt sleepy. I may try again tonight if it's really effective.

@Shavkat What is that blue tea? Maybe that would be better. Boiled banana peel don't taste good to me.

@pahak627 I am not sure if I can try that. But then, I prefer to drink blue tea. Regardless, I can also want to have some ginger tea instead.
