Great, another thing insomniacs can lie awake worried about!

You joke, but my mum's mind has died from Alzheimer's and I'm literally having anxiety attacks induced from that leaving me to extremely poor sleep patterns.

Her father had Alzheimer's (undiagnosed AFAIK), and my mum had poor sleep patterns for sure (though not as bad as mine are, I think).

If there's truth in this then somewhat ironically, yes, there's a perpetuation there.

Sorry, to bring the town down.

You can get tested for genetic susceptibility to developing Alzheimer's. That might be worth a shot.

I also read that Keto diet has solid scientific evidence of preventing Alzheimer's fyi

No, I have bouts of onset insomnia too and I think at times it’s been exacerbated by worrying about my sleep quality due to reading news like this.

Really sorry to hear about your Mother.

You could try CBD oil, it helps me a lot to fall asleep. For the first time in years I sleep like a baby. I take around 10 drops sublingually. I know it's an overdose, but who cares, if it helps...
No joke, dude. I believe I'm going to think about this when I fail to fall asleep too.

What solves my sleep problems easily is a some weed but I don't always have where to get it since it's not fully legal at my location.
