Femme Fatale Guide: Best Sleep Hygiene Habits & Tips For Better Sleep

Daytime Habits:

Stop drinking caffeine at least 8 hours before you want to go to sleep

Move daily: A 30-minute walk or a short pilates video is enough if that's all you can manage

Get some fresh air/natural light and/or supplement with vitamin D

Ensure you're getting adequate magnesium and vitamin B12 in your regular diet or through supplements

Nighttime Habits:

Tuck your phone in at its "bedtime": Leave your phone in the charger across the room. Out of sight, out of mind.

Have a physical book beside your bed to start reading at a certain time. Around 30-60 minutes before you actually want to go to bed. Find a book that puts you in a calm mood. A book that's too engaging will be counterproductive.

Have some "sleepytime" tea around 30 minutes before bed (Chamomile tea is a great choice. I love the Yogi Soothing Caramel Bedtime tea).

Limit the lights on for an hour or so before you want to go to bed. Only keep the light on near your bed if possible. Keep your curtains closed if necessary.

Practice deep breathing in bed: You can do a full 5-10 sleep meditation or just do a few sets of belly breaths (one hand on your chest and the other on your diaphragm or upper stomach)

Use meditation or a self-pleasure practice to relax enough to fall asleep.

To get on a proper sleep routine & fight insomnia:

Allow yourself one day to be exhausted, so you go to sleep "on time" and give yourself enough time to get (at least) around 6 hours of sleep. This helps your body "reset," at least for a few days.

When you close your eyes, picture one of your favorite memories and re-experience it without allowing other thoughts to enter your brain. This helps calm your mind, so you more easily drift off to sleep (I've been doing this for around 15-18 years and it's golden)

Have a journal or notebook with a pen by your bed: This allows you to write anything down that you forgot about or need to do, sudden inspiration that arises before you fall asleep, or a place to write out your feelings to help relax before going to sleep. It's better than having your phone and gives you no excuse to go pull it out.

Have a bottle of water by your bed, so you can have a few sips if you can't sleep from being (even a little) dehydrated.

Bath Routine 🫧🛁✨

1. I dim the lights, light candles & play classical music. If candles aren’t available, I use an oil diffuser with lavender or eucalyptus scents.

2. I add Epsom salts, milk powder, a few drops of nourishing oils like rosehip, argan, or jojoba. I also like to add dried rose petals for a soothing touch. If I want to detox, I add charcoal and bentonite clay.

3. I shower before my bath to cleanse my body of dirt, oils, sweat. I will use a shower oil during this step to hydrate, cleanse and exfoliate (will do separate post for everything shower).

Pre bath routine:

4. I dry brush to stimulate circulation.

5. I wash my face and remove makeup if applicable. I then use a face steamer for about 5 minutes to open my pores.

6. I apply my favorite face mask (either DIY or store bought) before stepping into the bath (will do a separate post on this).

In the bath:

7. While in the bath, I lightly use exfoliating gloves or a scrub to exfoliate my body.

8. I massage my face with ice globes to reduce puffiness and stimulate circulation.

9. I sip on tea, a magnesium cocktail, or infused water.

Post bath routine:

10. After my bath, I wash off my face mask and apply toner to close my pores.

11. I apply my favorite serums to hydrate and nourish my skin. After applying serums, I use a jade or rose quartz facial roller to help the products absorb better and promote lymphatic drainage.

12. I apply body oil or lotion all over my body to lock in moisture & keep my skin soft.

13. I apply a nourishing hand and nail treatment to hydrate my hands, cuticles and nails.

14. I brush my hair if I didn’t wash it (separate post on this coming soon).

15. I apply my favorite perfume to feel extra luxurious.

16. I put on a silk robe to complete my relaxing routine.

17. After my skincare routine, I use my LED mask. Your skin is more receptive to hydration after cleansing & applying serums & the mask enhances absorption of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, or Vitamin C. It also stimulates collagen production & skin repair.

18. After using the LED mask, I apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Then continue on with my night time routine.

Girlie (gn) you hate Maeve? You have good taste I see, I fucking hated her (well strongly disliked but still) mary sue is such a perfect term, she was just boring and I feel Spencer felt so wet and weepy with her

i don't hate maeve so much as i hate the maeve plotline! i think strongly dislike is a really good phrase to use when talking about my feelings towards maeve's character.

as a character, she's super flat and one dimensional. i think she and spencer were "together" for eight months(?) and the episode where you learn the most about her is the one where she fucking dies. i've spent all day thinking about this and im beginning to think that part of the reason why she is a mary sue is that spencer tends to put people he cares about on pedestals and ignores their flaws.

and youre like "what flaws does she have if you barely know anything about her" and okay i'll tell you:

b-12 and magnesium as a treatment for migraines is fucking insane. i'm not saying it couldn't work, but all through season 6 (re: 6x12 "corazon") spencer is seeing doctors and anyone who has ever dealt with a fuckass chronic disease/illness will tell you that a blood panel like that would be one of the first steps in reaching a diagnosis!!!

why on god's green earth would you have a stalker, be dating an fbi agent, and not let your fbi agent boyfriend help you? i have been stalked before!!!! it's not fun!!!!! i'd take all the help i could've gotten at the time. this has always rubbed me the wrong way because oh my god the solution was right there the whole time. he could have protected you! he would have protected you!

i know they weren't technically doctor/patient but there is still some weird power dynamic in their relationship that gives me the ick. other than they're smart and they read, they really dont have much in common.

their relationship to me is equivalent to the girl i dated online after we met through percy jackson fan accounts. i.e. not really a relationship. most of their interaction was off screen and i think that did a huge detriment to the plot.

in the end, i think the maeve storyline and 8x12 "zugzwang" is a hard watch. i can't take it seriously. i'd skip it, but then i'd miss so much blake content (and hotch looks so good in that episode sorry spencer) (not into the fuckass bob in season 8). at the same time, i know it was like... mgg's idea and i'm pretty sure he's friends with beth riesgraf. (he loves to traumatize himself idk). but the whole thing gets messier when you think about the implications left by 14x15 "truth or dare" and the abhorrent jeid plot in season 15 where it's insinuated that spencer has been in love with jj for fifteen years (zoinks) and it's like what about maeve??? i don't know man (gn) i could go on for hours about this

that being said, i see a lot of people not liking the actress who plays maeve. i am telling you that it had to have been the writing or the directing in the episodes because beth riesgraf is incredible. she played a character named parker in the tv show leverage (one of my favorite tv shows of all time) and let me tell you That Is Her Role.

jesus this was long i had more to say than i thought sorry thank you anon

I fucking hate being so broke I don't have spare funds for getting fucking laxatives bc I've been so constipated that I literally haven't had a regular movement in a month. My spouse asked our friends for some money to go get some, they're able to send it, great. We got get it, get home, I take the softeners and the magnesium citrate (after making sure it was safe). I get violently ill maybe an hour later, puking my guts up and damn near dialing my friend while trying to call my spouse. Now it's 8 hours later. I still haven't had a bowel movement. My stomach is still wildly uncomfortable. And the reason for it all? Bc I'm disabled and have scoliosis, so my pain and misalignment backs me up like crazy. And bc I'm too poor to afford fucking laxatives, I'm definitely too poor to go to a doctor and complain about being constipated bc of my spine and hips, only to be told to take some exalax and grit it out. I'm definitely too broke to go to the doctor several times just to get a referral to a chiropractor to try to get an alignment. And yet I'm still not classified as disabled enough to fucking qualify for disability benefits according to the last 6 fucking times I've tried 🫠

This is the bad place

Arthur/Eames (Inception) fics rec

Hi!

I am probably 14 years late but I have always wanted to create a rec for fanfictions about Arthur & Eames, which is one of my favorite pairing tbh. I have read the fics over 10 years ago so apologies if some of the sum ups are a bit blurry. I did not put all the fandom classics but the ones that I absolutely adore and which stuck with me all those years.

Buckle up, here is my top ten:

Ex-aequo In our line of work by enjambement (16k), incredible storyline, made me ache all over

Ex-aequo These frameworks labelled home (9k) by mruk - the most underrated ever. Won't tell you what this one is about just go read it

2. We Can Do This Until We Pass Out (29k) by desires - GO READ IT NOW. Chav!Eames, which pays hommage to young Tom Hardy, such a penting, innit

3. Skin Deep (17k) by Starlingthefool - a tattoo shop AU to end ALL tattoo shop AU. Absolutely amazing. Loved the portrayal of both, loved the twist, loved the tattoos ideas. Made me wish at 15 I could have some. Spoiler alert: years later, I DO.

4. I've got nothing to do today but smile (the only living boy in New York) (20k) by gyzym - loved the pacing and Arthur’s passion for baking when stressed out, but could not really relate with his burn out. 10 years later tho??? can totally relate and this fic is one of my inspiration to open a coffeeshop

The Connection Between Sleep and Weight Loss

The Science of Sleep and Weight Management

Hormonal Regulation

Sleep significantly influences two crucial hunger-regulating hormones:

Leptin (the satiety hormone):

Secreted by fat cells to signal fullness

Sleep deprivation reduces leptin levels by up to 15%

Lower leptin levels increase appetite and cravings

Ghrelin (the hunger hormone):

Produced in the stomach to stimulate appetite

Insufficient sleep increases ghrelin production

Higher ghrelin levels lead to increased hunger and caloric intake

Metabolic Effects

Poor sleep impacts your metabolism through several mechanisms:

Insulin Sensitivity

Sleep loss reduces insulin sensitivity by 30%

Decreased insulin sensitivity promotes fat storage

Blood sugar regulation becomes impaired

Cortisol Regulation

Sleep deprivation elevates cortisol (stress hormone)

High cortisol promotes abdominal fat storage

Evening cortisol spikes interfere with sleep quality

Energy Expenditure

Lack of sleep reduces resting metabolic rate

Physical activity levels typically decrease

Recovery from exercise is compromised

Sleep’s Impact on Weight-Related Behaviors

Decision Making and Food Choices

Research shows sleep-deprived individuals:

Consume an average of 385 extra calories daily

Show increased activation in brain reward centers when viewing high-calorie foods

Make poorer food choices, favoring carbohydrate-rich and fatty foods

Exercise Performance

Inadequate sleep affects physical activity by:

Reducing exercise motivation

Decreasing endurance capacity

Impairing muscle recovery

Increasing perceived exertion during workouts

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How much sleep do I need to support weight loss?

Most adults require 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night. Studies show individuals getting less than 6 hours of sleep have a 55% higher risk of obesity.

2. Does the quality of sleep matter as much as quantity?

Yes, sleep quality is equally important. Deep sleep stages are crucial for hormonal regulation and metabolism. Poor quality sleep, even if long enough, can negatively impact weight management.

3. Can sleep debt affect my weight loss efforts?
