Members responded to a question about insomnia and HIV medications, with many confirming that disrupted sleep is a common and frustrating experience in their lives. Several members shared that waking between 1 and 4 AM is a recurring pattern, and strategies like melatonin prescribed by a doctor, online puzzle games, cannabis, and sleep sounds have helped some find relief. A recurring theme was adapting to the disruption by sleeping in shifts or adjusting medication timing rather than fighting the sleeplessness.

Yes and I’m up by 3am everyday. I just don’t fight it anymore. I sleep in shifts now. But I think it’s because of my ADHD.

I get about 4 hours sleep a night. If I need help falling asleep, I usually put on a science show about space on. Nothing makes me fall asleep quicker than hearing about the full moon on Uranus...

I have times when I have alot on my mind and it causes me to not be able to sleep. Lately I have been playing some of the puzzle games online and they say you will sleep more soundly if you play for 30 minutes a day, seems to be true.
