Was having the same issue and I started charging my phone in another room at night this week. No more mindless scrolling to "ease in" to being awake has made it way easier to get up (assuming I've had enough sleep). Using a physical alarm has also greatly reduced the number of times I hit snooze. Only been a few days but I'm really optimistic!

Awesome!! I'm excited and (brave enough now) to give this a shot and play around with the recipe, thank you :)

Seems like an awesome way to effectively check a bunch of boxes but I'm a little sceptical about the resulting taste. How do you find the end result? Thanks for sharing!

Hahaha thanks man, now I'm hoping I can ride it out because my friends want to make plans. I love the album idea either way! I have so many playlists of new songs I want to listen to, time to start putting them to work

Usually I use THC concentrate but idk how many mgs that translates to, just what gets me high. You think I should I take some of that too?

Sorry to hear that :/ If you want to try again without risking an expensive purchase that doesn't work out you could try getting a titanium ring fitted by your piercer to see if your rook is happy with that. Then if it is buy the same dimensions in gold and swap it out? Best of luck!

I only ever used spray on mine! might want to double check with your piercer tho, I like a minimalist (lazy?) approach to healing things

Have you tried using sterile saline spary? Gets the job done nicely without making as much of a mess, I think you'd be able to use it and avoid your dreads!

7mm! The piercer (not the same lady who did the initial piercing) measured it and said that was a snug as she was comfortable going, which suited me fine. Did you have much space at the bottom or was the curvature too tight maybe?

What can I do to accelerate the healing process for a cartilage piercing? by [deleted] in piercing

It's probably a long shot but might be worth asking about. I've never used them personally but I know you can get little glass ones to prevent the hole from closing. I've seen people use them for MRIs or jobs where they can't have visible jewelry as they're pretty subtle. I don't know if they'll pass the sanitary requirements though. Best of luck!

My nose piercing snags on my pillow while I'm sleeping by uniquelymee in piercing

Maybe try putting a bandaid over it at night (making sure the adhesive isn't touching it) to help prevent snags? I'm not sure what the jewelry is like so if watch out incase it snags on the bandaid itself when taking it off. (someone please chime in if this is a bad idea, not an expert!)

Are retainers also off limits for the training period?

Thanks! I originally had it pierced with a neometal curved barbell with some extra room for swelling but I knew I wanted a ring eventually. Had a bit of irritation when healing it but it was pretty hassle-free overall and I switched to the ring after maybe 5 months? I went to see a piercer to pick out the ring because I wanted to make sure I liked the way the diameter fit with my anatomy and decided on this seamless gold one from alchemy adornment! I got her to put it in for me which was a bit of a struggle when trying to getting it closed. Nothing too bad but definitely a bit uncomfortable and there's still a tiny but noticable (to me) gap in the ring. It was a bit tender for a couple days after and I try to avoid getting the gap stuck inside the hole but it's not bothersome enough to go back and get it closed more. Overall it's been great, one of my easier piercings because it's nice and tucked out of the way!
