Stay awake for 36 straight hours then sleep 12. You get a bunch of extra time then have the best sleep ever bc you're fucking destroyed level exhausted and want to die. psyche unraveling you wrote a treatise on every way you're broken, an incapable being in a zombielike stupor completing the work you've been tasked with but feeling nothing. Your body hurts, your mind aches, you want to go home but you are home and that hurts more- so like the sleep feels really good.
Then you feel hella nice the next morning.
Subscripe for mor LIFE Tiiiiiiiiips

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.
as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."
NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

Horror movie fans are so funny because you'll bring up the biggest actor who's in 10,000 iconic roles, and they'll go, "Oh, the guy from Blood Burger 4: Keep Flipping." and that's the only thing on their filmography that they've seen.

Doctor’s Hack To Keep You From Waking Up At Night
A doctor is going viral for his sleep hack, but it goes against other sleep advice we’ve heard before. In a TikTok video, Chiropractor Dr. Scott Beyer offers a solution for those dealing with a common sleep issue: waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back to sleep. He says if you’re waking up between 2 and 4a.m. for anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours, it could be due to an imbalance of two hormones - cortisol and adrenaline.
Cortisol’s main job is to regulate blood sugar, but it also gets released at higher levels when you’re under stress. Cortisol levels should be rising while we sleep, and peaking in the morning, but if you’re stressed, your “cortisol rhythm becomes blunted and flat,” Beyer explains. That can cause adrenaline to be released while you’re sleeping and since adrenaline is what he calls a “huge central nervous system stimulant,” it can force you to wake up in the middle of the night.
To help prevent that, Beyer suggests something unconventional: eating close to bedtime and again when you wake up. He says doing this for a couple of weeks can help regulate these hormones by “taking a load off of the demand for blood sugar regulation” and that over time, it will help people start sleeping soundly throughout the night. For that pre-bedtime snack, he recommends something heavy in protein and fat to help with the snoozing. While this advice goes against that of most sleep experts, who advise not eating for three to four hours before bed, Beyer claims people who are stressed to the point that it affects their cortisol levels overnight can benefit from his hack.

the best night routines start in the morning
tips from an anxious psychology student who loves sleep 💤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🌅 todos whenever you wake up:
our brains are wired to notice contrast, so take this time to show your brain what it's like to be awake! the more you wake up, the more you can wind down later~ some suggestions:
wash your face
brush your teeth
eat something!! (then take your supplements, don't take them on an empty stomach)
make your bed (for max freshness when you go back to sleep though, i recommend you leave your bed to air for at least a few hours)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
☀️ todos throughout the day:
now our goal is to tire ourselves out enough so that we can have happy sleeps later! we need to focus on both the mental and physical aspects of this. some suggestions:
exercise
learn something new
get sunlight (no, vitamin D doesn't count, although you should be taking your required supplements)
experience an emotional rollercoaster (not exactly recommended as it may backfire in the form of keeping you awake with a spiral of uncontrollable thoughts)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🎑 todos before bed:
the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived! while going to bed at a regular time helps with conditioning yourself to fall asleep, sometimes that's just not possible, so here are some other suggestions:
check your wake up alarms (are they set for the latest possible time? do you actually need an alarm?)
lie down in the dark while having a nonsensical conversation with yourself (our brains automatically tune out stuff that don't make sense, so trick your brain into tuning itself out — especially helpful in the event of an emotional rollercoaster kind of day)
use a comfortable sleep mask (blocks out all light even from peripheries but still allows you to breathe comfortably, isn't too tight around the head)
earbuds make pretty good earplugs or you can play white noise/soothing music/etc. to block out louder noises
feel free to add your own suggestions in the reblogs/comments~ sweet dreams! 🛌

wip wednesday on day one nanowrimo sick and twisted world
i was tagged on this extra Fucked Up wip wednesday by my loves @socially-awkward-skeleton @direwombat and @nightbloodbix! outgoing tags below cut for space efficiency + join the writing tag list here!
actually trying to do nanowrimo for the first time, albeit nontraditionally and jumping between a few projects. (yell at me about which ones if desired.) so here’s an excerpt from a bg3 oneshot on the november agenda: lae’zel and my rogue gnome girlie millie having an emotionally constipated debrief following All Of That at the crèche. no real spoiler warning for this one since they are being vague, but a small warning for idle but insincere suicidal ideation + character cracking joke on said topic 
Millie swung her legs back and forth, dangled off the ledge of the cliff.  She leaned back, palms pressed against rock, looking down at them — at the skin growing more weathered, dry and cracked by the day — rather than down into the chasm. She would wait here stubbornly, she thought, until someone came looking for her. 
If she was lucky, she thought, that would mean she would wait there forever — wait sitting right there for ages there until she grew too weak for her body to hold itself up, and she went limp and plummeted off the cliff in her sleep none the wiser, before she ever had to worry about losing herself to the tadpole.  A soft whisper of wind that never reached to brush her skin told her she was not so lucky.  Attuning her ears to the barely audible rustle of the footsteps told her everything else she needed to know — light, airy and quick, but forceful and sure.  “Lae’zel,” she noted flatly, without lifting her gaze from her own hand pressed against cragged rock. She studied the smattering of sunlight filtering through trees to create blotches of warm bronze against her skin amongst the web of shadows cast by leaves.  She’d spent so long clinging to the shadows — being nothing, nobody, anytime she wanted.  Finding solitude, oblivion in the blink of an eye, as soon the whim to disappear struck her.  Now, here she was — stuck with a camp full of companions her survival necessitated not abandoning, despite her heart crying for space. Including one companion adept enough at tracking her down Millie couldn’t even carve out a five minute illusion of having left them behind.  Hells, she couldn’t have truly held the illusion, anyways. Even with no other soul around, the idle wriggle of the tadpole tickling the depths of her brain would always be there to remind her she wasn’t truly alone.  Millie sighed, the presence of the woman behind her likewise heavily felt despite her lack of audible response.  “If you’re skulking about back there so you can push me off the ledge, make quicker work of it. I’m not that keen on putting up a fight, anyways.”  “Tch,” Lae’zel spat, single syllable stinging with the acidity of disgust. “I would not soil my hands claiming empty victory against an opponent pathetic enough to welcome death,” she replied. “I will turn my sword on you at your surrender should the tadpole overtake you. But only then.” Still not turning around, she droned, “Lae’zel, it’s me — Millie the ghaik.” “Your foolishness is normally tolerable, hardened as it is by your ferocity,” Lae’zel replied, drawn out with a hiss of disdain. “But in the wake of the embarrassment you proved at the Crèche, I find my patience for it thinned.”
