As bluntly as I can be. I have literally tried every single method I could find/think of

Supplements, sleep meds, routines, no blue light, no phone, reading before bed, meditation, cool room, music, no music, podcast, no podcast, opposite sides of bed, different positions, different beds, Different environments, warm milk before bed (I’m serious)

I get poor sleep when I’m able to sleep in the following day. And when I do sleep I have nightmares from my past, and/or bizarre dreams.
I’ve been to therapy, etc etc. I don’t even think about past traumas through out my day or night. But they do appear in my dreams still.

There’s gotta be SOMETHING that works. I want to love sleep. I do enjoy relaxing, I do enjoy sleeping. But it seems like my body fights the hell outta it

Me and my wife applied March 27 at the Tokyo immigration office. It is now July 2nd, and are still waiting for the post card in the mail. I went from student visa to spousal, and was curious to hear if anyone else took this long.

I understand its a waiting game, and that everyones case is different, I just wanted to see if there was anyone in kinda the same situation as we are!
