My “knock out cocktail” for sleep includes: unisom sleep tablet + 10mg melatonin + Benadryl + a small sip of z-quil. All of these taken at the same time can usually power through the 250-300mg caffeine pre-workout I took ~5 hours before
But sometimes not. But I’ve had chronic insomnia my entire life that I inherited from dad. Sometimes I can not even take pre-workout at all, and take double of the things I listed above, and not get 1 minute of sleep. But it’s not much of a problem, I can work a full shift on no sleep no problem. 2 nights no sleep gets tougher, I start to get really drowsy while driving, but have never had an issue working a full shift on that either
On the rare times I go 3 nights no sleep I’ll usually call out at that point because driving gets too risky
Feel free to lecture me about it but I’ve heard it all before :/
