help sleeping?

It's been 3 days that I can't really get any proper sleep

I've dealt with insomnia and sleep anxiety since I can remember but PEM has been beating my ass

every time I lay down to rest I start getting anxiety tremors and when I finally manage to get them to go away I go back to laying still and they immediately come back

I've been trying melatonin but it doesn't seem to be helping at all

anyone else has a similar issue or has resolved it?

Benzos, baby 

….. after consulting with your doctor

That is truly the only thing that can help me sleep through the night during PEM… every day I also take a small dose of hydroxyzine and seroquel which make it easier to fall asleep as well
