he says he has insomnia and it’s not that i don’t believe him, but he stays up to play video games at night, and sleeps in during the day so i think his like internal clock is used to that schedule so when he tries to go to bed early, he can’t fall asleep which is why he says it’s insomnia
I unfortunately understand him. I will play video games until 7am bc of it but it’s not that I’m staying up to play video games it’s that I’m up and if I don’t distract myself I’m gonna crash tf out bc I want to go to bed but I literally can’t. Not saying that that’s the case with him but I do relate. Has he tried trazodone or another sleeping medication? I didn’t have luck with any which is why I smoke but he might get some relief from one maybe
he hasn’t. i also take trazodone so i’ve been telling him to talk to his doctor about it, maybe he can get something for sleep or he could do a sleep study or something to see what’s going on. he said he talked to his doctor at his last appointment and his doctor told him to try to engage in healthy sleep habits but i don’t think he’s tried
i’m not sure how to motivate him without him taking it the wrong way. there was one time he was supposed to go home (around a two hour drive from where he lives now) for his nephews birthday, but he slept in and missed it. when i didn’t hear from him and his location was still at his apartment hours after he was supposed to be at his parents house, i texted him and said “are you alive” as a joke obviously, and when he woke up he called me and was upset because he had gotten similar texts (1/2)
he def shouldn’t have reacted the way he did, but i wouldn’t say missing a 1 year olds birthday is scaring. his family has his location and they also know and have the ability to contact both of his roommates since they’re childhood friends so they weren’t like genuinely worried about his well being
