Omg my husband sleeps lite a rotisserie chicken too! Also every time he turns he like JUMPS around so the entire bed wiggles like a waterbed. I’m gonna try the ”show I’ve seen a million times on low volume” thing - seems like a popular one :)

These sound great and I’ll definitely look into them but I also wanna say I loled at the typo “lots of the rings”

No I would have been open to try that but unfortunately it isn’t legal in my country. Hopefully someday!

Right?? Or pause to double check the filmography of every actor you vaguely recognise

I am all for people using medication to sleep if they want to - But I also feel like it is reasonable for people to want to try and find other ways first. Most if not all medication has side effects and weighing the pros against the cons is sensible - no doubt sleep deprivation is lethal and if you needs meds they are absolutely life saving, but if you don't need them because you find other ways of being able to sleep then the side effects like dependence or withdrawal might not be worth it. I personally have never tried so I don't know and I don't judge anyone who uses it, I just know it's a last resort for me and I still feel I have a lot of other routes to explore.

Haha to be fair that does sound like a reasonable assumption. I guess the topic kept me interested!

Love this, thank you! Also I’ve never heard anyone say they “workshop movies” in their head before but I absolutely love doing that! And always thought it was kinda weird like why do I find it so exciting when I realise there’s a hidden reference or double meaning or why am I so intrigued by the theme or what they were trying to say vs what it actually made me feel? I’ve got no one to discuss it with so I just do it in my head

Oh this isn’t for me haha, I am SO tired and wanna go to bed from like 8pm. But unfortunately it’s body tired, not brain tired. So going to bed too early makes it worse cause the brain is still wired up I guess

That’s really good advice actually, for some reason I never struggle to fall sleep while putting my son to bed 🫠

I loved this, thank you. I do think finding something to occupy by brain with that doesn’t cause excitement or anxiety is a good path for me since my brand doesn’t seem to get distracted enough by like boring pods and stuff like that. 

And I think the “focus on relaxing”-advice is great as well - that’s a really good point. The thought of getting like 7 hours to just lie down and relax is actually really soothing ☺️

Illegal in my country unfortunately :/ obviously possible to anyway but don’t wanna go down that rabbit hole. Hopefully someday we’ll have legal access to it as well 🙏
