And of course, doing so is what keeps you awake and keeps the number getting smaller.
Some more sleeping tips:
Stay off your phone.
If you have to do something but don’t want to because you’re going to interrupt your sleep progress, just do it and don’t worry about it as long as you take less than 15 minutes.
Stay out of bed when you’re not trying to sleep. Condition yourself to associate your bed solely with sleep.
Keep your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up to snooze it. Disable voice snoozing. Then you won’t have to worry about sleeping through it.
Read a book for at least half an hour with a warm white book lamp (or if using a backlit eReader, use the warmest temperature setting on the backlight).
If you have RGB LEDs, set them to red when it gets close to bedtime as well.
I used to use sleepyti.me until it was bought by some shitty company that sells mattresses or something and subsequently went to ugly bloated ad-infested “modernized” shit.
I just checked again for the first time in a while and it seems to have improved since it was first redesigned, though it’s still not as simple and lightweight as it once was.
Anyways. It helped when I used it. Kept a shortcut right on my home screen for the longest time. If you can look past the stupid brand name they’ve chosen to redirect to, it’s worth a shot.
Me too, both because I’m AroAce and because I look very child-like for my age (okay that’s an understatement, people ask me where my parents are when I go to the store) I don’t think I need to elaborate why someone finding that attractive is at the very least a little bit disturbing.
We have a 55" led TV from about 10 years ago. We bought it at a physical sears store. I replaced the power supply board maybe 5-6 years ago? Because the backlight stopped working. The current problem with it is that if it has been on in the past few hours she you try to turn it on again it takes 15-20 minutes to finally turn on. No amount of power cycling or fiddling fixes it, you just have to press the power button and wait. If you turn it on after it has been off all night, then it starts up fine. I really don't want to buy a new TV right now and I don't really want a smart TV anyway.
Swipe keyboards makes typing without looking trivial. It’s also not that hard to do regularly. Now, throw in some symbols and stuff and it’ll likely get harder. But touch typing on a modern smartphone isn’t hard at all. I typed this whole comment with out looking at the keyboard, and only needed to “edit” sections I changed my mind on.
I had t9 on lock back in the day. Write and send a message without having to look at my phone at all. Sure, there was no internet on there, but that tiny Nokia would stay charged for like 5 days and survive a 20 foot drop on cement without a case.
Fun fact: they would NOT survive being dropped into a gallon of polyurethane floor finish :-(
