I seem to have episodes of insomnia... some stress-trigger goes off and I can't sleep properly for months at a time. Then eventually I burn myself out and sleep twelve hours a night for a few months. Sometimes I wonder if I might not be bipolar.

I also had a friend who had some success with a mix of Kava Kava, Valerian, and Hops. I personally cant stand valerian, but if youre desperate it might be worth a shot.
Sadly, melatonin doesn't work for me. I don't even spend money on OTC sleeping meds anymore. They're expensive and don't do anything for me

Oh yah.
I've had sleeping issues since I was a real little kid. Mom and dad reversed the lock on my bedroom door when I was real little because I'd escape my crib and wake them up at 4am, or sometimes fall down the stairs and hurt myself.
Also been prescribed ambien and others since I was about 13. It doesn't seem to work anymore on me.
The only thing that gets my insomnia under control is consistency, and tiring myself out during the day immensely but that doesn't always stop it completely. The only thing I can tell you is under no circumstances let yourself sleep during the day after a night spent up, no matter how tired you are, napping will always make the insomnia worse in the end.
Lately I've been managing to wrangle it, but it never lasts a super long time before my sleep schedule gets bumped off track.

I don't work, I'm a student. I still find things to tire me out during the day, such as swimming, hiking, cutting and splitting firewood ect. But at the end of the day i'm just tired as hell, and can't sleep.

P.S. I drink chamomile tea regularly, and even booze doesn't make me sleepy. What would you shroomerites recommend?
riiight there with you, but i smoke bud on a daily basis BUT without at night, which happens on rare occasions, i can't sleep for shit without xana or valium
But even still some nights after smoking i still find myself tossing and turning like im WDing...debate start making soap and shit
Are you also unable to take some kind of benzo due to lack of connections or just job related bullshit?..because IMO one of the best wayz to catch some ZzZ..other than heroin

I used to have Valium prescribed for sleep (blue 10mg) and it worked wonders for awhile, but eventually my tolerance went up, and it did nothing for me. I didn't want to become dependent on benzo's (already been through opiate dependance) so I stopped taking them when they stopped working for me
