- green noise. objectively better than any other noise. just knocks me out, plus gives you much deeper sleep. hereā€™s my favourite. - lectures on something youā€˜re not even remotely interested in. for me itā€™s physics. - asmr ?? i dunno, i like it. - breathing fresh air. nothing like a bit of fresh air for a city person. weā€™re all oxygen deficient. - meditation. i love Medito (itā€™s on appstore and google play) meditations. not sleeping sucks, hope you get better soon!

For those who never feel fully rested in the morning: Apparently, thereā€™s a lot of ways to breathe wrong and youā€™re doing them all while you sleep. Sometimes itā€™s because of you and other times itā€™s because of your environment or maybe itā€™s both but if youā€™re not getting enough air you will get low quality sleepā˜¹ļø. If you wake up feeling congested, a couple of things that really help me are a humidifier (love this one for travel also) and an air purifier (super quiet). For those who have a hard time falling asleep: - It feels like you either love melatonin or you hate it, I happen to love it. Finding your dosage is key tho and that might take some experimenting. I started too big and slept like a rock but felt super groggy waking up!! - this is annoying but going to bed at the same time every night is so helpful. Iā€™m sorry!! I want to be too cool for school also but having a strict bedtime will change your life for the better For brains that wonā€™t shut off: Ok here is my trick to falling asleep when my brain is too loud (patent pending): Step one: play a podcast or anything where people are speaking but set the volume low enough that you canā€™t quite hear what theyā€™re saying Step two: make overthinking work in your favor by focusing on your train of thought and tuning out the podcast noise. I think this works because tuning out external sounds is something that happens naturally as you fall asleep. Ok hope that helps, sweet dreams! šŸ’‹

Ok here are some things that work ok for me, but they have not fixed my overall fatigue so ymmv: -if I wake up anytime after 5.45am or so, I do my best to stay awake. If I fall back asleep I feel way groggier and worse when my alarm does go off and wake me up. -anxiety meds, allergy meds, mouthguard have all helped me stay asleep instead of waking up in a panic or in pain. Use as appropriate to you. -no evening naps!!! If Iā€™m really tired I just have to make it to 8pm and then I can sleep. -reading or journaling before bed would keep my brain a little too wired to shut off easily. I have had way more luck listening to a silly podcast with white noise on in the background and playing solitaire (such a low brain-engagement game) on my phone. Itā€™s like a scalp massage but for my mind. -my old neighborhood could be very loud at night, I hadnā€™t thought before abt using earplugs but now I donā€™t hesitate. I recommend the weird wax ones that you can shape to fit your ear. -make sure youā€™re the right temperature. I have lain awake many nights for too long without realizing I was simply too cold to fall asleep. somehow my brain wasnā€™t registering that fully. now I keep a sweatshirt next to the bed so I can add a layer if needed. -sorry to say but being well hydrated and truly tired from your day (esp if youā€™ve exercised) does help falling asleep a lot. EDIT TO ADD also I quit coffee for unrelated health stuff but that also seems to have helped falling asleep so much, i wish it werenā€™t true bc i miss it but donā€™t think i can go back

I can't fall asleep in a quiet room. I created a customized mix on this app that I lovingly titled Shut Up Mix. It includes the sounds of thunder, waterfalls, rain, a fireplace, and deep brown noise. This perfect blend of soothing sounds is like a calm hug as I drift into dreamland. This plus my silk sleep mask and I'm all set for a good night's rest.

hey! I spent numerous of my birthdays alone, so here's what worked for me 1. make a playlist of your favourite songs. literally every song you ever liked from when you were 10 to now. 2. go to your favourite place, but if you don't have one then just go to a park or a museum. I love people watching while listening to music. 3. book a spa day. that one I haven't tried but sounds fun. spa is better in solitude anyway. 4. eat your favourite food. honestly a game changer lol food is the most amazing thing we as species have created. 5. do something you enjoyed as a kid. painting, blowing bubbles, making sand castles. it makes you feel so good, like you're reconnecting with something that's been asleep deep inside you. 6. if you're not scared to talk to strangers then talk with someone you don't know. at a pub or in a line. could be fun. happy early birthday!
