followed by opening up all my windows to let the cool air in. If it’s cold enough I’ll make a little tea. Then I jammify and lounge/read/listen to podcast all while brushing my teeth (and flossing 💪) and getting ready for bed. Eventually I do sudokus in bed until my eyes start to cross

Hot mint or ginger tea leading up to bedtime, bathroom, brush teeth, wash face if not too exhausted, lotion on obliterated hands, check on kids, crawl into bed, either listen to any Kevin T Porter podcast or play an episode of a familiar show to drown out the anxiety until I fall asleep (usually takes only 10 minutes).
If that doesn't work I toss and turn and read fanfics or ebooks or watch something I love that will keep me awake for too long but will at least put my brain at ease (usually cdrama or romcom) until I can sleep at like 4am 🥴

i stay up late a lot of the time for no reason other than to keep the doors of the day open to potential, but i’ve started taking melatonin gummies and magnesium (also preferably gunmies) at like 10pm and just putting myself to bed and it actually rocks. it does not make me feel like i wasted my night the way i feared it would and my future self is always happy i did it
if the m&m gummies don’t cut it i also recommend a weighted blanket and some background noise (i like podcasts about things that are only marginally interesting to me. last night i learned about the economics of bubble tea idk)

Anyone got some recs for sleeping better? I’ll try melatonin and the sleepy bear drink but mostly I just want some sympathy

Sorry to use a pretentious word like cinephile, but it had to be done.
This is for the friend groups who take forever to decide what to watch on movie night. Also, this app is very much for the chronically indecisive peeps who have a backlogged watchlist on Letterbox — I see you, I am you.
I haven’t heard anyone talk about this free app, but it is essentially a site where you can keep track of movies/shows you’ve been meaning or wanting to watch.
A Few Features I Like:
- It can be set up to notify you when something on your list becomes available on any streaming platform you’re subscribed to
- you can sort your list by exactly what you’re in the mood for (genre, length of film, decade of release)
- easy importation of watch lists from other sites or sources (Letterboxd)
- My FAVORITE part by far is the spinny wheel that helps you choose something to watch (either from your list, preferences, or what’s currently popular)

and then right back to being a bitch again. Because sometimes the first instinct is the best instinct.
