#fucking sleep hygiene

[lunarflare64]

Oof, thats not the usual vertebrae that gets inflamed. That's practically our pelvis, holy shit does it hurt

[goldkirk]

I would love to understand why my brain and body are desperate to not shower in the safety of my own home but perked up at the offer to go shower at the gym that’s full of people I don’t know and men who could pin me and locker rooms with open doorways and less control over cleanliness than I can get in my own apartment. Something something the years of swim practice and swim meet locker room showers being safe I guess?

IF I DON'T GO TO SLEEP I'LL DIE

[very-uncorrect]

O fuck I think I might be developing depression a bit maybe

HI I CANT REPLY TO THE POST BUT YOURE SOOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT

I had the thought that they probably slept together and regret it after bc of the pregnancy but the idea that he raped her was so prevalent online I thought it was stated canon and I was just misremembering or something and i've not yet replayed it

FINALLY OH MY GOD SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS...... we're spinning around and frolicking in a field right now

but yeah no seriously yr right, it is never canonically stated and tbh i dont even consider it heavily implied because. yknow. [gestures to the 2 hours it took to write my theory post]. like.. its a valid interpretation of course, its just that the fandom treats it so much like it was canonically stated that some people think the entire game is about it. which. it very much Is Not™. so i guess what im trying to say is that im really glad to see someone else follow the same train of thought as me!!! :DDD feels good to know im not totally out of touch LMAO

[yay-depression]

if someone else without a sleep disorder gives me “sleep tips” i will no longer be responsible for my actions

[natjennie]

taking my new sleep med everyone wish me luck.

[running-in-the-dark]

I've got a psychiatrist appointment tomorrow. mostly to discuss if the new sleep medication is working. it is.. not? I don't know. it sorta makes me stay asleep better but tbh that only really means it's even more impossible to wake up when I need to.

idk at this point I'm getting close to just saying you know what? thank you for trying to help, mr. nice old psychiatrist guy, but let's just give up! who needs sleep anyway (me, like 12-16 hours a day). I'm just not gonna do it anymore! that sounds more doable than ever figuring out how to sleep normally!!

i think the circadian rhythm disorder has ruined my life more than the pain disorder tbh

[coloursofaparadox]

aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA

[ikebanaka]

I love having ADHD. Melatonin is actually supposed to be taken like 1-2 hours before you go to sleep, because it's supposed to be used to supplement your natural circadian rhythm's production of melatonin, but my brain doesn't have that so when it's important that I sleep I take 2.5mg 30 minutes before sleeping, and then I have caffeine because the reason I can't sleep is always understimulation.

Then I have a heaping spoonful of Skippy or Jif because my brain uses so much energy even when I'm asleep that I wake up with low blood sugar and act like a pissed off zombie if I don't eat something right before sleep, and sweetened PB has carbs, fats, and protein.

[bueris]

it is #1am and the boiler noises are scary. stop being ominous go to bed I want to sleep please

[savetheghost]

would love to explain how caffeine works not by supplying energy but by depriving your cells of the capacity to FEEL tired. would also love to explain how caffeine evolutionarily came about as a heart exploding pesticide. as a whole I spend most of my passing glimpses into your life in genuine fascination. damn bitch you live like this but appraisingly.

erryone wants to study me like a bug

but yeah nah the only way to gain energy is to rest and im incapable of turning off

i dont usually actually drink that much caffeine unless im being forced to like

work in less than ideal circumstances (overtime, while sick, etc)

cause i AM trying to work on my sleep hygiene but im a severe insomniac with 0 circadian rhythm and all i want to do all the time is sleep

i just straight up cant, and when i do its for maybe two hours at a time

so being able to not feel tired is fine even if i secretly am so so so so so fucking tired

[forlornmelody]

Today's List of Nice Things:

Self care is not trying to finish a complex task that isn't due til Sunday when you're really tired and it's your Friday.

Got in a good work out!

Also got home in one piece.

Aww. Mr. John Smith needs a hug. I still want to slap him for being classist as fuck, but I also want to give him hugs.

TOMORROW I REST

My client got a long really well with the apartment manager at his application meeting. Really hoping he gets in and he STAYS there for longer than 3-4 months

[fushiglow]

if you see me on here at all hours of the day, it's because i average 3-4 hours of sleep per day, taken at a different time each day

i feel fucking fantastic 😃😃😃😃

[messinheaven]

Hoping to use autism/ADHD tips/daily strategies even if I don't have any of that diagnosed but it just makes so much sense that me sticking to typical ppl routines ways doesn't work and I may need something a little different to function also finding so much reassurance that other people also struggle to like function daily on most basic tasks and maintenance and that they do have tips and solutions
