    Are you doing all the sleep hygiene stuff? It does really help if not.

    He's sleeping next to the toilet. He's not even doing basic hygiene.

    Yeah yeah, i’ve been very sleep hygienic. I’ve been f.luxing hard, doing breathing exercises, using bed only for sleep. I’ve even started drinking chamomile tea, and I haven’t had tea in years. All of that doesn’t seem to help one bit when you spend the whole night thinking about how bizarre the concept of falling asleep is though

    That's not really possible for me, but my screens lose all their blue light for several hours before bed (that's what f.lux is for) and get dimmed, which is apparently the cause of that trigger

    Yeah I know. When I saw the specialist migraine people they said that even with flux it's still worth getting off screens for an hour before if possible, although flux is better than nothing.

    It's a bit of a wanky term I know (I used it so he could easily Google if he wanted) but it's just simple measured you take to improve sleep. No caffeine after certain time, no screens for an hour, no TV in the bedroom, blah blah blah.

    Get an audiobook. I've fallen asleep to Sapiens by Noah Yuval Harari more or less every night for the last couple of years. Just tune into the words and you're a gonner.

    Ah, I thought it was going to be something about cleanliness of the bed, room, etc. Some of those things can definitely help though, I'm always caffeine free after 1pm but I negate it all with the phone/tablet. Must have put in about 16 hours screen time yesterday alone and will always be on it after I get into the bed.

    I can't really do them at all anyway, in bed or not. They completely remove all awareness of my surroundings.

    Speaking of which, my boss gave up caffeine altogether and he's like a new man. It must be real poison altogether.

    Been trying stuff like that. First 20 minutes are relaxing, then i start really trying to "tune into the words" as I get all spasticed out that I'm not asleep yet, and after about an hour i get sick of listening to people talk and I turn it off.

    you goin speaker or headphones for that? because yeah, there's no way i'll fall asleep with my headphones in if my phone alarm is supposed to be what wakes me in the morning

    I just play it off my phone on my bedside table on a 15/30 minute timer. I'm asleep within 5 minutes most of the time which used to be unthinkable for me.

    I had a tough sleeping spell but ironically I started watching netflix on my laptop before bed and focusing on the plot of a silly sitcom rather than trying so hard to fall asleep helped my mind slow down considerably tbh.

    It's not traditional but it helped me.

    All the supermarkets I buy my criticals at (Lidl, Morrisons and Aldi) have all decided over the past 7 days, to change the complete layout of the three shops. Its like walking into three new markets now.

    I hate that. I expect it at places like Poundland where stock is just flung wherever there's floor and shelf space but not at a proper supermarket.

    It's a trick to get you browsing and looking round the shop more.

    They don't want Mr. Sincere just going to get some anti-fungal cream for his junk and then leaving.

    And linked to this, grown adults who have a "birthday week" rather than just a birthday.

    I was at work for mine recently.

    Multiple people were positively aghast at the thought of working on your birthday, as if there's anything special about it.

    Save the days off for something good.

    Bumble hits me with those notifications all the time despite the fact i've never once actually spoken to another human on there.

    "You're amazing! And so is the person dying to meet you!!! Swipe now to meet your match!" type stuff.

    I downloaded it for my trip to Portland, used one of my dozen apple gift cards to upgrade to the pro version, and then spent my entirety in Portland higher than a kite never once opening the app. Idiot.
