🩷💜🖤 Guys I've been having like the worst addiction to this website & my sleep is soooo badddd rn (Which I like this site a lot & I don't wanna stop using it ofc) Does anyone have any good tips/suggestions to actually work on their sleep schedule? 

The only silver bullet for me is staying consistent, go to bed around the same time, get up around the same time no matter the day. It’s kind of boring but it works really well

Replying to @🔪Aida_Wandering_Online🩷💜🖤 (post is on page 1): “🩷💜🖤 @Vodkuh omg the eating before bed thing is my biggestttt issue, I tend to love snacking, it's one of the first oldest habits I've had even after...”

@🔪Aida_Wandering_Online🩷💜🖤 not sure if itll help but i make sure to brush my teeth right after dinner. the taste of toothpaste dissuades me from snacking, cuz mint toothpaste+food=yucky. also, write before bed. i started working on a fanfic just every night before bed and it personally helps me wind down.

Mansplain over, Alexander signing OUT!!

Bob ross painting tutorial, his voice is very calm and the brushes make a nice ASMR , also i don’t have to listen to my own thoughts!

maybe if its just from using that site before bed its probably blue light, try to turn on reading/night mode on your device so that its puts a yellowish filter on

HIIIII I HAVE TIPS FOR YOU!! Some of them are weird, but trust me! 

  • Try to have somewhat of a routine for bed (I.e. I put on wave sounds/rain on my tv, and then a show or YouTube on my phone and and snuggle with the same stuffie every night!) so, your body will know that when all those things are happening, its bed time! 
  • A classic, but counting sheep. When I really can’t fall asleep, I count sheep! Soon, you’ll start morphing numbers and your thoughts will make no sense and then zzzzzz
  • Pretend your body is made out of lights and slowly turn each and everyone of them off (going from the toes, to your head) and when you’re done turning them off, you’ll be more relaxed. 
  • Listen to a manifestation in your sleep YouTube video! Even if you don’t believe in it working, it’s still relaxing enough to get you to sleep 

melatonin has little to no effect on me so ive experimented a lot...

no caffeine about 6 hours before youre planned to rest.

ashwagandha and or magnesium supplements! consistency works best. theres also some magnesium lotion you can apply to your inner things and i think stomach or chest to help.

carbs or something sweet specifically helps me!! always warm for meal or room temp for a snack. if i notice im struggling to sleep, ill often get a small meal like maybe noodles OR something sweet, like a brownie! it makes me drowsy

NEVER use it too often, but 50mg benadryl. learned the dosage from a friend, introduced idea from mom. be careful

red lights (changing bulbs, around your house or room!) and night shift filters on your devices can help.

ill often hear about tea, but i think a lot of these comments go over that better than i would

white noise will often help, or a youtube video played at the lowest volume. subtle enough to where you cant make out the voices, and have it be a boring video where you KNOW you wouldnt want to pay attention. i say white noise more than a video because a video is more likely to catch your attention.

It was you who led the world to its destruction.
But you cannot accept it.
You think you are above consequences.
