YOU'RE TAKING UP TOO MUCH ROOM

true
but I'm already paranoid about it, and I haven't smoked any yet

fortunately I think there is some more about at the moment
so can get some more tonight.

I feel like a right fucking junkie, but not being able to sleep feels a lot worse.

^ this
if I could find a surefire way to get to sleep, I'd be on it like a shot and not caring about junkiness

that's my view.
not sleeping is shit, so I don't like running out of gear, and to find that I have essentially run out unexpectedly, particularly when I'm as skint as I have been since leaving uni has not done my mental state any good at all.

I think you should take my advice
as to how to spend your bank holiday.

And I do understand. My mother takes sleeping pills to get to sleep (they work for her) and even though she's not addicted, and only takes them rarely, she still gets quite anxious if she runs out.

I will certainly do some drinking this weekend
it's more the next few days and those after the weekend that concern me. My sleeping has been unpredictable of late.

I don't want to resort to sleeping pills if I can avoid it. Think I should get hold of some valerian extract and see how I get on with that again.

Do you have trouble staying asleep
as well as getting to sleep?

Valerian extract is shit (tried it) sleeping pills vary in effectiveness. Some of them will get you to sleep but not keep you asleep, and others result in heavy oversleeping. A lot of brands don't work on me, the only one that does caused some pretty nasty side effects

almost entirely just getting to sleep
the ones I've had in the past, I passed out at 8pm and didn't wake up till 3pm the next day. Can't be having that.

I've used a couple of preparations of valerian extract, one worked fine, and the other didn't at all.

if you try sleeping tablets
you'd be best off just taking a half, then staying awake as long as you can manage it. Of the two types my mother has, one is designed specifically as a sleep aid to help you get to sleep, but does not maintain sleep, would you like me to source the name? You should wake up fine after it, but probably earlier than usual
