Let’s talk Health

So guys, i am turning 29 in a month and let’s be real my body is not what it used to be! Despite me working out 4times a week, fasting, and paying attention to what i eat, i can feel my body weakening in way. Not that i don’t feel healthy but I’m still having some back pain, less energy, and just like feeling my body more. And that is normal.

20 years old me and 30 years old me wont be the same! There are things that we need to do to keep up so we maintain our best self. My body wont be producing all the collagen that i use too, likes guys i can hear my BONESSS! And I’m telling that is is not giving!

After a bit a research, i realized that i was lacking nutrient that my body could not produced on it’s own or way less!

So here a list of Nutrients we need as bad gyals hitting our 30s, especially as black women

1. Vitamin D 🌞

Why? Black women are more likely to have vitamin D deficiency due to melanin reducing sun absorption. Low levels can affect bone health, immunity, and mood.

Sources: Sun exposure (15–30 mins/day), fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), fortified foods (milk, orange juice), and supplements (2,000 IU daily if deficient).

2. Iron 💪🏾

Why? Many Black women experience iron deficiency, which can lead to fatigue, hair thinning, and anemia.

Sources: Lean meats, beans, lentils, spinach, tofu, fortified cereals. Pair with vitamin C (oranges, peppers) to boost absorption.

3. Magnesium 🧘🏾‍♀️

Why? Supports stress management, sleep, muscle function, and heart health. Many people don’t get enough.

Sources: Nuts, seeds, whole grains, dark leafy greens, dark chocolate.

4. Calcium 🦴

Why? Helps prevent osteoporosis, which Black women are at higher risk for later in life.

Sources: Dairy, leafy greens, almonds, fortified plant-based milks.

5. Omega-3 Fatty Acids 🧠

Why? Supports heart, brain, and joint health while reducing inflammation.

Sources: Salmon, sardines, walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, omega-3 supplements.

6. B Vitamins (Especially B12 & Folate) ⚡

Why? Helps with energy, brain function, and red blood cell production.

Sources: Eggs, fish, meat, leafy greens, fortified grains, and B-complex supplements if needed.

7. Collagen & Vitamin C ✨

Why? Supports skin, hair, nails, and joint health.

Sources: Bone broth, citrus fruits, bell peppers, berries, collagen supplements.

8. Fiber & Probiotics 🥗

Why? Supports gut health, digestion, and weight management.

Sources: Whole grains, beans, vegetables, yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods.

9. Zinc & Selenium 💁🏾‍♀️

Why? Supports immune function, hair health, and thyroid balance.

Sources: Shellfish, nuts, seeds, Brazil nuts, and meat.

Supplement Recommendations:

Multivitamin for Women (with iron, D, and B vitamins)

Vitamin D3 (if deficient)

Omega-3 Fish Oil

Magnesium Glycinate (for stress & sleep)

Probiotic (for gut health)

Hope this helps my lovesss, until next time

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.

I’ve done two things: taken a shower, and gone to the store for some magnesium. (I’ve been having restless legs. I only slept 4 hours last night, fuck this shit)

Does this mean I can be done? I think so! I’m making the executive decision that I’m done for the day.

Side note: the magnesium gummies taste like pot gummies and now I’m craving HARD. But it hasn’t been 6 weeks since my surgery, and I don’t know if I’m going back to the OR, so no weed for me. 🥺

Now Twin Bro and I are talking Stardew Valley. I started a game right after surgery and I’ve been super into it.

(I’m trying to get the cut scene where I have all the girls at 10 hearts, yet I have 8 with Sebastian. I have a type, I can’t help it)

Clever and Beloved

Day 6 for @bucktommyfluffebruary: stargazing. read on ao3 read other days here

Roughly halfway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, along historic Route 66, is a dormant volcano. 

It's called the Amboy Crater. At 250 feet tall, the basaltic cone stands like a sentinel, high above the surrounding lava field. The Crater is a national landmark, protected by the State of California. There’s a paved road, a parking lot, even bathrooms. The trail to hike up and into the crater is rated moderately difficult, and takes the average visitor one and a half hours. If it was daylight, Buck could stand on the rim and see for miles and miles. 

It’s also an unofficial Dark Sky site. 

Buck knows all this, because when Tommy told him the Perseids meteor shower was peaking this week, he immediately started researching. A few Wikipedia deep-dives later, he knows what the Perseids are (debris left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle), who Swift and Tuttle were (two separate astronomers who discovered the comet three days apart in 1862), why the Perseids are called that (they appear to originate out of the Perseus constellation), and who Perseus was. Of course, that sent him into Greek mythology. 

He rambled the whole drive. About King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia, who boasted that Princess Andromeda was more beautiful than Poseidon’s daughters. About the sea serpent Cetus, sent by an enraged Poseidon to destroy their kingdom. About the beautiful princess, sacrificed on the altar of her parent’s pride. And Perseus the demigod. Clever and beloved by the gods, blessed with Hermes’ sandals, and Athena’s shield. He killed Medusa, and used her head to save Andromeda. In doing so, he won her heart. Or at least, her hand in marriage.

Tommy had listened to every word and smiled that scrunchy smile. He laughed at Buck’s commentary, and told him they had several movies of questionable quality to watch. He was looking forward to Buck pointing out all the inaccuracies. 

So, here they are. Stretched out in the bed of Tommy’s truck, pressed together from shoulder to ankle. Tommy has one arm tucked behind his head, staring up at the Milky Way wheeling overhead. His other hand is tangled up with Buck’s, calloused thumb stroking over his knuckles. 

A meteor streaks across the sky. For less than a second, there’s a line of blue-green fire, magnesium and ice igniting in a flash. Buck blinks the after-effects away. 

It’s August, but it’s late, nearing midnight. Neither of them have shifts tomorrow, and they’re both used to strange hours, so driving out to the middle of the Mojave after a late dinner on a random Tuesday isn’t as irresponsible as it sounds. Buck snuggles down into the sleeping bag beneath them and pulls the fleece blanket higher up his chest. 

8 years in California and he still forgets how cold the desert can get at night. 

Of course, Tommy notices his fussing. He tilts his head to catch Buck’s eye. “Alright?”

Another meteor burns overheard; friction overcoming the chill of deep space. This one flares out, a white fireball at the end of its trajectory. Catchlights scatter like sparks as the bright flame reflects in Tommy’s eyes. 

“Should’ve brought another blanket.”

“I can help with that. C’mere.” He sits up, urging Buck onto his knees so he can bunch the sleeping bag up against the truck's rear window. There’s some awkward shuffling, lit only by the light of the stars and the occasional meteoric flash.

His boyfriend ends up slouched against the truck, half upright, spreading denim-clad legs and guiding Buck to recline between them. Tommy straightens out the blanket with a snap of his wrists, letting it drift down over them gently. He tucks the top corners in around Buck’s shoulders and worms his own arms underneath the fleece to wrap around Buck’s torso. Warm fingers brush down Buck’s sleeves, finding his hands and directing their shared grasp into the front pocket of his hoodie.   

It’s cozy. Intimate and practical, the exact mix he’s come to expect from Tommy. He’s instantly warmer, heated through by the feel of Tommy’s chest against his shoulders, his hips bracketed by muscular thighs. Big hands curl over his inside his sweater. Their fingers slot together, rough knuckles and scarred hands, warming the little pocket of air and resting on Buck's stomach. He feels surrounded and protected. Cherished, in a way that no other partner has ever made him feel. Buck lets himself relax, going boneless in Tommy’s lap. His arms tighten, almost a hug, reaching that perfect, grounding pressure that sends serotonin surging in his brain.

Buck could stay here forever. Until the meteor shower is over, until the sun comes up, until the heat of the desert melts them into the sand below. 

Tommy shifts behind him, pressing the chilled tip of his nose to the back of Buck’s neck. “That better?”

The next meteor bursts into light, shooting towards the Earth. A short tail, in bright, vibrant yellow-orange. Iron and sodium. Perseus stands on the horizon, reaching up towards his queen, Andromeda.

“That’s perfect.”

Swanky Club, 920 N Boulder Hwy. This restaurant-nightclub in Henderson had the first buffet service in Clark County, and its first nightly female impersonators.

The club was constructed in '42 while the Basic Magnesium Plant was being built nearby. In 1946, owners Jack & Doris Mallory called it the Swanky Club. It was a lunch, banquet and meeting place for many Henderson organizations by day, and a bar, dance hall with evening entertainment by night. Throughout summer-fall 1946 Swanky Club advertised female impersonators: Billy Earle, James Ray "and his fans," Gene Bays "Prima Donna," and Three Gay Knights, aka The Four Gay Knights.

Swanky Club's dinner service was a smorgasbord buffet, operated by Bob & Pearl Pfluger, which launched just months earlier than the Chuck Wagon buffet at El Rancho Vegas.

In the 1940s when few businesses dotted the highways, Swanky Club had no address. Their ads said they were on "Boulder Highway at Pittman" or "Boulder Hiway across from the B.M.I." The area was empty enough that Jack Mallory landed and parked his Aeronca Chief 2-seater plane in the desert of his nearby home.

Bob Pfluger was the owner of the club when it was destroyed by an overnight fire and explosion on 7/15/58. The Mallorys bought back the property, rebuilt with a trailer court and 6-unit motel on the 8-acre parcel, and reopened Swanky Club on 7/29/59.

The club closed in '84. The adjacent motel closed after a fire in '85. Henderson Fire Dept. used the club for controlled fires before it was completely demolished. It was replaced by Cattle Baron Casino ('90) aka Joker's Wild Casino ('93).

Life hack: belance in yourself

Hormones are powerful chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system. They travel through the bloodstream, regulating various bodily functions such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and mood. Hormones play a significant role in maintaining balance in the body, known as homeostasis, and any imbalance can affect your mental and physical well-being.

How Hormones Work

Production: Hormones are secreted by glands like the thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and ovaries/testes.

Transport: Once produced, hormones travel through the bloodstream to target cells or organs.

Receptors: Hormones bind to specific receptors on cells, triggering a response. This can involve altering cell activity, gene expression, or initiating a cascade of processes.

Feedback Mechanism: The body monitors hormone levels using feedback loops. For example, if a hormone level is too high or low, the body adjusts production to maintain balance.

Key Hormones and Their Functions

Cortisol: Stress hormone; regulates metabolism, immune response, and energy.

Serotonin and Dopamine: Mood and happiness regulators; linked to emotional well-being.

Insulin: Manages blood sugar levels.

Estrogen and Testosterone: Sexual health, energy, and bone strength.

Thyroid Hormones: Control metabolism and energy levels.

Melatonin: Regulates sleep-wake cycles.

Adrenaline (Epinephrine): Prepares the body for fight or flight.

How to Support Hormonal Health

To feel better mentally and physically, it’s essential to maintain hormonal balance. Here are strategies to care for your hormones:

1. Nutrition

Balanced Diet: Eat whole, unprocessed foods rich in nutrients.

Healthy Fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, and omega-3s (from fish) support hormone production.

Complex Carbs: Whole grains and vegetables regulate insulin levels.

Protein: Essential for hormone production; include lean meats, beans, and tofu.

Avoid Excess Sugar and Refined Carbs: These can cause insulin spikes and crashes.

Hydration: Proper hydration supports cellular communication and detoxification.

2. Sleep

7-9 Hours of Quality Sleep: Hormone regulation (like melatonin and growth hormone) occurs during deep sleep.

Consistency: Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily.

Limit Screen Time Before Bed: Blue light can suppress melatonin.

3. Stress Management

Mindfulness Practices: Meditation, yoga, and deep breathing reduce cortisol levels.

Physical Activity: Exercise releases endorphins, improving mood and balancing stress hormones.

Journaling or Therapy: Helps process emotions, reducing chronic stress.

4. Exercise

Moderation: Both too much and too little exercise can disrupt hormones. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity most days.

Strength Training: Boosts testosterone and growth hormone.

Cardio: Supports circulation and reduces stress.

5. Avoid Endocrine Disruptors

Limit Toxins: Avoid products with BPA, phthalates, and parabens (found in plastics and cosmetics).

Clean Water: Use filtered water to avoid contaminants.

Organic Foods: Reduce pesticide exposure, which can disrupt hormones.

6. Maintain a Healthy Weight

Excess body fat can increase estrogen levels, while too little fat can disrupt reproductive hormones.

7. Regular Medical Check-Ups

Hormone Testing: Regular blood tests can identify imbalances early.

Thyroid and Reproductive Health: Monitor specific hormones like TSH, estrogen, and testosterone as needed.

8. Natural Supplements (Consult a Professional First)

Vitamin D: Supports mood and immune function.

Magnesium: Regulates stress and supports sleep.

Adaptogens: Herbs like ashwagandha and maca root can balance stress hormones.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduce inflammation and support brain health.

Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

If you're experiencing persistent symptoms, consider consulting a healthcare provider:

Fatigue

Mood swings or anxiety

Unexplained weight changes

Irregular periods

Sleep disturbances

Low libido

Conclusion

Hormonal health is essential for overall well-being. By prioritizing proper nutrition, stress management, exercise, and regular medical care, you can support your endocrine system and feel better both mentally and physically.

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

5. My Lungs Are Fresh and Yours To Keep (18k) by black Betty 26 - Did I almost tattoo the title of this fic on my body? Yes. Yes I almost did. Band!AU, super sexy Arthur, great tension between Arthur and Eames, LOVED IT.

6. Rough Trade (23k) by whiskyrunner - warning some strong internalized homophobia but damn the sex is hot and the alchemy between Arthur and Eames is incredible

7. Late night phone call (15k) by sparkledark - this one holds a special place for me because when I was REALLY feeling down, I thought about it and was okay in this one fanfic when Eames was feeling v low he called a suic*de hotline and everything went better and that's why I called one and yup it probably saved my life. so kudos to this pic and the characterization of Eames is to die for.

8. Towards Zero (20k) by Mirabella - great plot, with a twist at the end, I read it like 10 times

9. In Our Kingdom by the Shore (10k) by Alezane - if you love Gothic retelling, the little mermaid and great writing? This fic is for you. One of my absolute favs.

10. Incipit (9k) by the hoyden - cute, made me want to be a writer

Short ones I love dearly but could not be part of my top 10:

Laying Claim (13k) by laceymcbain - sorry but protective Eames??? yes please feed it to me (all the other fics of this author are great!)

I can't extinguish the fire though I've tried (7k) by aprettyaway - if you have firefighters fantasy (don't lie, we all do), read this one. Cute and funny and HOT (pun intended)

Two Steps Towards Make Believe (4k) by ifeelbetter - short and cute, if you have insomnia rub your feet with magnesium oil it truly helps

nothing we could judge (12k) by green_postit - a fic about Eames and Sherlock in college. Their banter is everything and they are super smart in the fic, taught me new psy concepts and got a brain boner

Trivium (5k) by thefourofswords - academia and philosophy??? that's my love language baby

Enjoy and do not hesitate to reach out if you want more recs!

Do you have tips to improve sleep? I take melatonin and still struggle to hit the hay?

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.

Hope this helps xx
