    I’m twelve, and I haven’t slept in almost three days. I’ve tried melatonin gummy’s (15 ml at one point) white noise, no screens, no noises, weighted blanket, but I can’t sleep and I’m scared I’m going to start hallucinating. I’ve been forgetting stuff, and I just brush it off as my adhd but pls if anyone has any tips I need it before I go insane. This isn’t a joke, I have slept about 5 hours in the last three days. If I don’t get sleep soon I will be driven insane and I’m scared pls help
