I haven't gotten a good night's sleep during the entire year, not a single one. How fucked is my circadian rhythm and how can I fix it without resorting to sleeping pills?

OP, go camping for a weekend. Do not turn on any artificial lights unless absolutely necessary. Ideally, you stay out in the wilderness for three days or more and operate solely under the light of the sun and moon. Your circadian rhythm should reset. All the artificial light and electronic distraction and noise pollution in our modern world really fucks our sleep time.

My entire life has been like that, I get like 2 hours of sleep every night, doctor never prescribed me drugs because I would become 'reliant' and wouldn't be able to sleep without it (But I never slept anyways). Nowadays I just take tons of herbal supplements like valerian + melatonin and have a much better sleep.

stop taking melatonin, fucks your body's natural production of it when you don't have access to it. My dad used to try and give it to me when I'd have to be up early the next day, but I realize his sleep was fucked because of it. He would sleep 3 - 5 hours and just wake up all times of the night. Have a strong feeling his melatonin production was fucked from taking much more than his body was supposed to have. I sleep fine now, on the other hand. Always get 6 - 8 hours of sleep.

Your circadian rhythym is controlled by light exposure, mainly. Fix that.

As far as sleeping pills go, melatonin is a good way to brute force yourself back onto schedule. It’s your brain’s natural sleep signal and it doesn’t have significant side effects.

One thing is to use a nightlight program on all your devices set to sunrise and sunset.
