I love it because I fall asleep easier and wake up more fresh

    Ok hear me out. I’ll have a nap and be so glad to fall asleep. But then I get to bed and I’m like nahhhhh I just keep reading or playing this game.

    I gotta get better at sleep hygiene 😅

    It’s an artform, like perfectly baking a poo. If you time it right you can basically fall straight asleep without your brain going “hey, I just thought of something!”

    I messed up last night when I hit the wall after 9 days solidly on the go - I thought the bed looked nice and a little lie on it wouldn’t hurt but I still had shit to do before bed. So I dropped off but my brain kept prodding me back to near consciousness and I kept on having weird sleep paralysis/false awakening dreams - including one in which I heard a woman murder a friend outside my bedroom door but I couldn’t force myself off the bed to intervene.

    Shout-out to all my homies who are tired all day, avoid screens before bed, read for a bit, journal, do mindful meditation, and take melatonin, but nonetheless lie in bed staring at their eyelids for 2 hours before slipping into a kind of restless unconsciousness that’s too long and groggy to be a nap but too short to be a refreshing night of sleep.

      I invested in my sleep this year. Bought a white noise machine, comfy percal cotton sheets, ear plugs, eye mask, mouth tape, try to go running consistently, implemented basic sleep hygiene stuff like no phone in the room, and… I still have trouble. I went on a 50km bike ride over the weekend and still had trouble. But… the reality is that it has gotten better on average after implementing all of this and fuck it, I’ll take it.

      I drink a cup of coffee only once a day. It’s extra strong though. Maybe that has something to do with it. But I really love that one strong ass coffee in the morning.

    Depends on the type of tiredness.
    Physical? Yes.
    Mental? The reason will also probably keep me awake.
    Sickness? I’m tired of staying in bed.

    I can’t enjoy a good night’s sleep unless I have to force my consciousness into submission with a cocktail of 1937 Glenfiddich, Nyquil, and whatever I managed to steal from the hooker I just kicked out. Waiting until you’re tired is for pussies.

      For me it’s a cocktail of bath salts, incense, Enya, a long soak in the tub, and the screams of whatever housepet I happen to be drowning that day.
