40k lore. Thanks fr all the Luetin
I recently started taking 1.5g melatonin if I feel like shit before bed, or if I’m really tired, or of for some reason I expect not to sleep well. It helps quite a bit I think, I usually fall right asleep pretty fast if I take it.
I recommend it. But don’t abuse it very often. And don’t buy the expensive stuff. I think I paid like 15 euro for a pack of 60 tablets of 3mg that I bite half from.
1.5g
crazy typo
lmao I’d be sleeping really well
You’re lookin’ at it.
Drink heavily
DO NOT FUCKIN TAKE THAT AS ADVICE
Samesies! It’s a terrible idea but I do it anyway!
Nothing like waking up at 6am with a massive hangover when you couldn’t fall sleep at 2!!!
I wish I could die 🙃
To get sleepy? Yin Yoga knocks me right out. Cold and slow yoga, lots of forward folds calm the nervous system.
Otherwise I just wait until I get sleepy to go to bed.
Zopiclone, Fedi, porn, YouTube, The Elder Scrolls soundtrack, sext with a previous fling, gym, write heartfelt messages to family members, poke myself with pocket knife without causing lacerations, spy on my pothead neighbors, writhe.
If I’m stuck worrying about something or reliving an event, I need to get my mind out of the fear or problem solving mode. I use the alphabet game where you pick a category then give an answer for each letter. Desserts, plants, countries, anything like that. If you can’t get one, skip it and come back. If it doesn’t work, a horny version tends to help one-track my kind.

Slow paced docs, reading a book, listening to sounds of rain, low/no caffeine hot tea, weed
Watching your cat clean themselves is also right up there.
Heard this trick on the radio a few months ago and it seems to work for me.
Think of a word, I usually do something short like “cat” or “dog”. Let’s use “dog” for this example.
Take the first letter and list every single word you can think of that starts with the same letter. So, for “dog”, think of all words that start with the letter “d”
Once you run out of “d” words or are taking more than a few seconds between each one, go to the next letter and do the same thing. So, all words that start with “o”. Continue until you’re asleep or have to pick a new word.
So basically boring yourself to sleep. lol
Yes… But also working on your vocabulary!
… So double yes
Get up, wash my face, then read. Have to get your mind off sleep.
Audio book. Preferably something slightly boiring but interesting. Also there’s a first generation antihistamine called Stahist-T. It sucks for sinuses but damn is it great to speed you to sleep.
Turn on pink noise and scroll Lemmy
If it’s just one night, I meditate to try to clear my mind and keep it from racing and keeping me awake, and if that doesn’t help I take diphenhydramine. If it happens over many nights, I quit drinking alcohol and caffeine, and maybe take nyquil to get me through any discomfort from quitting those.
