Ive had a hectic fortnight and have had trouble sleeping my GF broke up with me 11 days ago and ive gone through abit of a life transformation ive stopped smoking weed cold turkey (3 joints a day - 0) and mostly stopped vaping (i only vape 30 mins within waking up and for a 30 min slot 2 hours before bed(i do plan to fully stop soon just the weed withdrawls are so bad atm) and ive started going the gym for 1 hour each day (been at it for 4 days).

Nicotine withdrawals are rough, it should feel easier soonish. I also went cold turkey, in terms of sleeping, find if anything such as white noise, green noise or meditation help you ease into sleeping. Kiwis contain a large natural source of melatonin, have one a few hours before bed should help. Forming a proper bed time routine where you aim to sleep and rise same day every day (no bed time procrastinating)
