Insomnia can anyone tell me how do you get sleep cause I can’t and I only can sleep in the am I take hydroxacine if I’m spelling it right. I take it like 4 am when it kicks in I sleep till like 3pm waste of a day I want to do stuff during the day but can’t it’s annoying and sometimes I go a week without sleep which makes my MS worse especially the spasms.

Have you tried Cannabis or CBD? Also Zanaflex/Tizanadine for spasms helped me to get to sleep better. Good luck 💪🧡
