Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I've been having some weird issue where I feel very sleepy(physically) but my mind refuses to sleep, or I feel guilty to sleep because I did not commit to the goals I set. I've been sleeping at 1 or 2 am a lot recently while still waking up at the same time. I'm not sure if this is my mind subconsciously sabotaging myself or there's some other underlying issue...
On the other hand, my sinus seems to be less severe for the recent few days somehow so I'm glad.
Pokemon Sleep might help!
What's pokemon sleep o.o
It's a phone app. Essentially it tracks your sleep quality and in the morning after every sleep cycle, pokemon will appear and you can feed them to become your companions.
There's no combat and minimal attention required. I just open the app before I sleep, and feed pokemon some biscuits in the morning.
It tracks using the mic, so it might be draining on the battery. Probably not the best thing for privacy either, but it's made me sleep on time since it stops me from picking up my phone on the bed.
I see... that sounds fun haha. I used to install sleeptown, but I don't have a constant sleeping schedule because sometimes I have to spend time doing stuff or I play games with friends so I uninstalled it
Glad to hear your sinus problem is getting better!
Maybe you need some rest time this weekend? Maybe some staycation will help haha
Did you drink tea? I heard it calm the nerve, and personally it help me too, tea like camomile, no caffeine
Yeah, I'll probably only go out chill stuff like lunch if I'm ever going out this Saturday.
I haven't been drinking tea lately, maybe it's time to stock up haha ~~or abuse free tea from office pantry while I still have the chance to~~
Make sure it's non-caffeine tea though, caffeine will make it worst 🙈
I usually drink it at night so camomile is nice
I usually don't consume caffeine so I won't go for those with caffeine DX
Programmer that doesn't consume caffeine?
Well... I could be not good with caffeine, since drinking more than half a cup gives me headaches 😭
this me recently, my meds make me so woke and if i've been drinking caffeine rip sleep...
i suggest stretching before bed and also meditate as you're about to fall asleep. Like just lie down, close your eyes and breathe slowly in and out.
I've actually tried that, but it's kinda hard because my brain keeps thinking about a lot of things 😭
yea that's the thing, i know it's hard but just think about your breathing.
the slower you breathe the better, your heart slows down, and your mind relaxes.
