Idk what my deal is because this isn't usually a problem, but almost exactly after practice started in August, I've been unable to get any kind of good sleep. I wake up tired almost every day.
I take melatonin + zinc/magnesium, try to practice good sleep habits, work out early in the day, been avoiding caffeine for most of the summer, but I'm just not rested.
I'm not particularly stressed, I'm not waking up terrified of Friday's opponent, but football season has wrecked me and it's not even a month in.
Ordinarily my go to sleep cure is the affections of a lovely lady, but I'm currently on a drought due to dating a gal who wants to take it SLLLOOOOWWWWWW.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Weird voodoo solutions?

I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like you need a slump buster

Thank you for starting this thread. If we aren't going to talk football, at least we can get off the subject of "pants and shoes."
There have been several good suggestions. I wouldn't leave anything to chance. You clearly need some rest, rather than trying them one at a time, do all of them on the same night.

have you seen a doctor? I know it seems silly but it could be something that could be found in a simple blood work check. Thyroid issues and diabetes can make you tired among other things. Also sleep apnea is a big issues. Sounds like you've done all the right things on your own. Might be worth it to see a doctor.

What's the sense of having a girlfriend who wants to go slow? During the season "slow" doesn't get it done. In my opinion, a new lady friend is the hot tip!

My untrained diagnosis is sleep apnea. I'd get it looked at though. Sleep's kinda important...

I've read that this could be a symptom of adrenal fatigue.

You do live in CA. You can get prescriptions for things there that will knock you right out, or so I've heard.
Otherwise, I highly recommend you see a doctor and have some bloodwork done to see if there's a medical reason.
If that doesn't turn anything up, you may want to consider seeing a therapist to dig around in case there's some underlying stress or anxiety you're not conscious of.
Anxiety is a very funny thing in how it manifests itself and in how your mind can try to block it out.
This doesn't sound like sleep apnea or diabetes to me. If you have sleep apnea and/or diabetes (I have both) you tend to pass out fairly easily but your sleep quality is crap so you still feel tired all day, even when you sleep for 12-13 hours.

Agree with coacharnold that it could be some underlying stress or anxiety. I deal with the same issue randomly.
Stay away from sleep aids that contain diphenhydramine. They say it isn't, but that stuff is psychologically addicting as hell. I got into it when we had our first kid because I'd have a hard time falling back to sleep after feeding her. Was a real B to kick that stuff.

my suggestion, 8 oz. of bourbon, and 3 ice cubes. Sip it slowly about 30 minutes before bed then lay down.

Check a doctor, that is the first thing you should have been done. Actually, a normal person needs to go once a year, at least. Its way better discover before any problem than late when your body starts to show ya.
Now being funny, have you ever seen Fight Club? Lol

Genetically, I can sleep in a hurricane/himmacane..... My dad was a railroad guy who napped when he could.
My tired sleep is usually caused by my wife poking me in the ribs when I snore.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Beam and Coke works wonders for my ability to sleep. It's worth a shot.
