im almost 40 and my trick is to not try to fall asleep because if i try i end up staying awake longer due to frustration. i just watch youtube trombone tutorials until i pass out.

A medically irresponsible quantity of sleeping pills and whiskey can solve that problem!

[–] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

Probably shouldn't mix those

[–] OhTheMoose@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

I'm 30, but I have the same problem and do the exact same thing. I also take a 10mg melatonin capsule at 7:30-8:00 every night

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

This was a struggle for me at first too.

Until I realized that trying not to think of anything so I can sleep, is thinking about something.

The paradox of "trying" to sleep. The harder you try, the less you sleep.

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

Same. I've got too many awesome projects that I enjoy working on. Sleep is boring.

~~Only two suicide dreams this night~~

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months ago

You okay bro? I don't know what to say, but at the very least, I can listen.

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 7 months ago

Neurotypicals really are just out there walking around like things aren't fucked 🤣🤑

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 7 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah!

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 months ago

My suicide dreams were almost all me trying to drown myself. I'd then discover that I could breathe underwater and get excited about the discovery and it would disrupt the depression for the rest of the dream

Fuck yeah, sleep is awesome. Know what's better than sleep? Restful sleep.

Got free food and didn't have to make dinner!

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

“20 and older?” Dude I was foregoing sleep in favor of doing tons of shit well into my mid-20s.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Damn. I need to increase the witholding amount on my W-4.

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

Fuck the IRS ;). Oops, hell yeah

Making all of your bill payments a month in advance

I got a new mattress. Really makes a difference in quality of sleep/enjoyment of sleep.

EDIT: Taking one of those mattress quizzes helped a lot. Probably not perfect, but better than just getting a mattress from a ad or youtube sponsor.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 5 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah!

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They can be so damned expensive, I'm beyond overdue for one (mine is kind collapsing in the middle).

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yea, that is the main issue, pricing. Mine was like 1.5k, but worth it as well.

[–] myusernameis@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've been sober for 6 months.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago
