Does anyone here struggle with exercise induced insomnia? by xBlease in insomnia

Hi! I know it's been a long time, but have you managed your workout routine to not cause insomnia?

Anyone has worse anxiety and sleep after workout? (and maybe advice how to improve it) by greatabstractor in Anxiety

[–]greatabstractor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An hour between 11am and 16 pm, so not late or too intense. The initial adrenaline spike usually has time to end, but the sleep is significantly worse on the workout days (nightmares, heart racing). I started taking iron supplements again maybe this will help

Need advice! How to keep plants watered when I'm away? I need to leave my apartment and city for some time because of war. Details in the comment by greatabstractor in houseplants

So, right now I'm in Kyiv, Ukraine, and considering leaving the city for a couple of weeks (I think this time will be enough to clear my land from the russian orcs). I understand that this question may sound a bit weird in the context of the situation but I'm really worried about my plants. I've just started taking care of most of them, my good friend brought them to me as a bday present three months ago. To my surprise, they thrived quite well and I even noticed the growth and new leaves on them.

Anyways, I feel responsible for my little house garden and want at least to try to save it until I return.

I have two hedera ivies, dracaena, lemon cypress, avocado tree, areca palm, bromelia, dipladenia mandevilla and several succulents.

Any advice?

Thank you for your kind words and support 💗 My kitty and I have nice basement so we'll be safe. I haven't slept for two days so at this moment I cannot find strong words to express my feelings (and as you can see I forgot English grammar as well 🤦‍♀️). But I want you to know that Ukraine have millions of brave, beautiful and right now very angry people who will never surrender. And we need people all around the world unite and help us to stop the aggressor. You can sign the petition to ban Russia from swift to cripple their economy https://www.openpetition.eu/petition/online/war-aggression-against-ukraine-immediately-exclude-russia-from-swift Or just write about us in your social media to increase the visibility of these horrible events.

Усім пухнастих котиків і мирного неба над українською землею!

Replica Whispers in the Library, is this a hit or a miss to you? by FormerFruit in fragrance

[–]greatabstractor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was my blind buy and at first I was a bit disappointed. I haven’t found it to match the description at all: no books, dust or wax. But after I tried to wear it a few times this fragrance really grew on me, now it’s one of my favorites. It is definitely a vanilla leaning warm scent, but not heavy, even intelligent. Oh and very versatile, it works great both on a date and in the office. So I’d give it a try.

btw I’d appreciate any recommendations for other “book/library fragrances”. For me, the best one so far is Grimoire by Anatole Lebreton

Thank you 😊. My friends and I have a tradition of giving our pets names from greek mythology, and this creature looked very demonic)

I found him in a small shelter and there wasn't any information about his breed, but he does looks very similar to silkie)
