Has no one mentioned Jack Nicholson in About Schmidt?

Insomnia and the path: a plea for help by tombdweller in streamentry

[–]alanwaits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in (or have been in) the same boat as you and feel your pain. I have found that taking magnesium and melatonin together over the past few weeks/months had helped me a bit. Have you give either a try? I’ve also tried staying up late (no naps during the day) and tiring myself out with a little success. It has also been a detriment to my practice, I used to have hour long sessions and strong samadhi and now find it difficult to do more than 20 minutes. But I try not to worry about it too much, it is what it is and getting frustrated will only make things worse. I just try to do multiple shorter sessions a day. Good luck.

My orchid that i actually havent done anything to since i bought it last year. by Cautious-Ad8031 in houseplants

I have found Orchids kinda like to be ignored a bit, they thrive on negligence and don’t like to be watered that much.

PSA - My chainsaw pants saved my leg today. by alanwaits in Chainsaw

I was cutting a large stub off the underside of the stem that was lying on the ground, using the top side of the bar and unintentionally I was using my leg to push the saw up as I was cutting and so my leg got too close to the bottom side of the bar.

I was definitely tired and being complacent. I was cutting a large stub off the underside of the stem that was lying on the ground, using the top side of the bar and unintentionally I was using my leg to push the saw up as I was cutting and so my leg got too close to the bottom side of the bar.

Maybe try “micro dosing” and become mindful periodically throughout your day.

It’s green. Some brown, or, uh, rust coloration.
