@lookitmychicken@blorbo.socialIt is 7 am and I have not slept at all in the last 24 hours.
I need to go out later today.
I somehow need to sleep for a few hours between now and then.
I don't know how to make that happen.
I hoped that the weighted blanket would help, and it's nice, but it hasn't made any difference to my insomnia.
Argh.
I slept for a bit under 2 hours.
At this point I guess I have to accept that I'm not going to sleep any more until tonight.
@lookitmychicken I don't know what is creating your insomnia so I have no idea if this will be useful to you but I used to struggle really badly with falling asleep because my brain would not shut up. It would replay conversations, have new conversations, give me therapy sessions, all sorts of crap except sleep. It took me a long time but I've trained myself to go to sleep listening to YouTube videos. I specifically use scishow cause it works for me.
@lookitmychicken it needs to be something interesting enough to get your brain to engage with it and listen to it, without being so interesting that it keeps you awake. I find if I'm able to distract my brain in this way normal sleep functions can take over.
@lookitmychicken whatever your cause is, I hope you find relief (and sleep!) soon
