im almost 40 and my trick is to not try to fall asleep because if i try i end up staying awake longer due to frustration. i just watch youtube trombone tutorials until i pass out.

A medically irresponsible quantity of sleeping pills and whiskey can solve that problem!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Probably shouldn't mix those

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I'm 30, but I have the same problem and do the exact same thing. I also take a 10mg melatonin capsule at 7:30-8:00 every night

This was a struggle for me at first too.

Until I realized that trying not to think of anything so I can sleep, is thinking about something.

The paradox of "trying" to sleep. The harder you try, the less you sleep.

Same. I've got too many awesome projects that I enjoy working on. Sleep is boring.

~~Only two suicide dreams this night~~

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

You okay bro? I don't know what to say, but at the very least, I can listen.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

My suicide dreams were almost all me trying to drown myself. I'd then discover that I could breathe underwater and get excited about the discovery and it would disrupt the depression for the rest of the dream

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Fuck yeah, sleep is awesome. Know what's better than sleep? Restful sleep.

Making all of your bill payments a month in advance

I got a new mattress. Really makes a difference in quality of sleep/enjoyment of sleep.

EDIT: Taking one of those mattress quizzes helped a lot. Probably not perfect, but better than just getting a mattress from a ad or youtube sponsor.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They can be so damned expensive, I'm beyond overdue for one (mine is kind collapsing in the middle).

[–] lessthanluigi 2 points 7 months ago

Yea, that is the main issue, pricing. Mine was like 1.5k, but worth it as well.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

“20 and older?” Dude I was foregoing sleep in favor of doing tons of shit well into my mid-20s.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Got free food and didn't have to make dinner!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

hell yeah (I'm reading this sleep deprived on 6ish h of sleep and I won't be able to sleep for another 3h unless I wanna risk missing my train and I would love a bed rn)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've been sober for 6 months.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I am gassy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Unironically yes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah I've been staying up too late but still have to get to early so this is like my current fantasy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I poop in a toilet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago
