How can I help my partner who has insomnia?

[Anonymous]

Hey, my long distance boyfriend has insomnia. His sleeping hours fluctuate a lot, and struggles all day during work/fails to sleep at night. Wakes up early, or several times. His sleep heavily depends on his schedule, he needs strict 10 hours of sleep, but he works at a bar and the work schedule is in the evening (before he was working in the morning and it worked for him).
How can I help him? He has problems when we are together in live as well, i try to give him massage and some sleeping pills. But he's alone now there and I feel helpless and worries of him.

Sleep problems are sometimes difficult to deal with. Shift work ruins your circadian rhythm, what helps you sleep.
Most of the time having a sleep schedule corrects over time but other times you need a helping hand.
Some medications otc can be used short term to try get into a pattern, otherwise you'll need prescription medication such as benzos or Z drugs. All short term to avoid addiction

Weird, I sleep like a baby if am cuddling a girl. To say I have really bad insomnia and weird sleeping patterns. I would say it's more of a chemical problem than a psychological one if it's the case you don't help him with comfort.
If that's such the case he needs to keep looking for the right sleeping pills.

My boyfriend used to read me fairytales and I slept like a baby.

He also sang to me. Miss him so much.

Melatonin?

I don't know if you help him get off, typically guys are sleepy after they orgasm. Just a thought
