OK nath455 it looks like I'm the only one so far to take on your challenge.
Yes there are things you can do without ingesting a thing.
You can lower your irritability using a long sound loop of crashing waves or rainfall this has the power to distract you away from irritation with the environment.
You can learn to control your ability not to be jolted awake by bad dreams you first need to identify your dreaming . you can tell your dreaming by the luminescence over detail difference.
Once you know your dreaming you need to learn to let the dream continue.
If your worried in your dream you need to be awake stop wait for the dream to change
If your being stabbed in your dream squeeze the knife know its only electrical energy.
If you fall slow yourself down towards the end

Another trick is to defocus your mind by inducing phylosophical reasoning through self hypnosis .
My favorite two speech loops are `death` pause `it insnt real` pause `its an illusion` pause `nature wants to thrive`
Or simply to remind my self to research by simply saying research every 7.8 seconds.

Another technique is yoga or thiche.
Simply forcing yourself awake every morning can give you some sort of pattern.
Avoiding ingesting things like stimulants or red meat to late can help
Have fun sir all the best.

I try to improve my thinking. Hopefully some good ideas shine through.

Yeah I really need help. I developed stomach issues due to the meds that I used to take. I shouldin't be using them anymore, but if I quit I'll lose weight from lack of sleep. I'm already pretty low for my BMI, so I need help.

If I keep having bowel movement from my meds I'll also lose weight.

My gastroenterologist can keep trying to prescribe me meds, but if I'm taking anything for sleep it'll counteract my treatment. I have stomach acid and gastritis at 22. I might be suffering from IBS as well.

I worked with a specialised sleep psychologist and we used, among others, the techniques qpwimblik lists below. Relaxation, mindfulness, re-focusing, getting rid of unwanted thoughts. They work to a certain degree with me -- basically unless my bipolar is acting up, because when it is, a pill is needed.
Currently working on my upcoming signature.

Im kind of worried about my balancing out my symptoms. My gi problems are somewhat scary, I took levsin for it and it made my stomach quiver. supposedly i have gastritis with some stomach acid. Nexium only provided me temporary relief.

i wanna go to an impatient clinic that accepts my insurance, and get it over with already.

OK you can't take sleeping remedies because they might interact with your meds but what about adding the vegetable artichoke to your diet providing your doctors OK with that.
