friendly reminder that you cant fix peoples sleeping issues. i understand ur heart is in the right place when you see your friend up at 2am and you tell them to go to sleep but if they repeatedly detail to you their sleeping issues dont act like you can fix them. 90% of the time theyve tried what youre suggesting already and even if they havent you pushing it is going to make them annoyed, stay up later out of spite, or both. "try drinking warm milk " as advice for someone with long standing sleeping issues is barely different if at all to "just make a to do list" as advice for someone with adhd

It's nearly midnight and I can't fall asleep again
🙃
{Let’s Talk Sleep Habits…}
Oh my, Darling… I’m sorry. I’m proud of you for reaching out about this. ♥️
Some things you might try are going to end at the same time every night, removing all screens/technology in the 2 hours before you go to bed, drinking some calming tea/herbs to help calm and lull you to sleep, listening to white noise/calming noise, sleeping in a dark room, etc.
Everyone is different, everyone’s body is different. But those are some tips that tend to work well and gear people towards a healthier sleep cycle.
Getting good sleep is extremely important. Your sleep sets you up for success in the next days to come. Adults need at least 5-6 hours of sleep per night at a minimum. Teenagers should be getting more like 8-10 hours every night. Don’t underestimate the importance of your sleep. Thanks again for reaching out, sweet anon! I hope you have a lovely day/night!! 💞💞💞

I have recently realized that with exhaustion comes inexorable rumination. My soul is deeply intertwined in a battle of endurance against the parasitic shadows in my mind. When I run myself thin, it gets nigh impossible to fight the fear, anxiety, and pain of my past as well as an ill-perceived future. The majority of my daily energy is directed into sustaining my sanity against this fleet of inner demons. This leads to many seemingly unending, sleepless nights as my thoughts flush themselves into the deepest depths of its sewage. Leaving me to pray I stay afloat in the rapids... forced to take a single deep breath before inevitably being pulled under... perpetually hoping to resurface before I lose my vision.
So anyway... All this came about when my QP offered to read to me when I could not find rest, and managed to lull me to sleep with her dulcet voice in a matter of minutes. I wanted to express that there is nothing sincere enough for me to stutter from my heart to serve as an accurate reflection my deepest appreciation. How is one supposed to encapsulate that much gratitude into a simple set of wordage?
I suppose the best place for me to start would be a simple "thank you."
I appreciate you, love.

Can sleep paralysis be a condition, because I don't think it's normal I regulary have several dozens of them in less than an hour and can't even tell if most of the "actually waking up for a second then being paralyzed again" are hallucinations or not 😭

mami, have you ever done a reading about Pedro and sleep? as in, what makes his sleep being shitty as he himself has said. Is it a restless mind, is it sleep apnea (or any other health problems) or maybe is it other stuff...
Hello! We’re in 2024! 🥳 First reading of the year, about Pedro and sleep! So, the first pull was the 6 of Flowers, King of Hedgehogs and The Moon. A very intense pull, I must say.
Tumblr media
6 of Flowers means he might struggle to sleep with how much he feels this need to succeed in everything he does, the intense need to DO things that will work out and make him feel proud of himself. He could also think of things he has done and have been successful and all that becomes a worked up state and a racing mind. King of Hedgehogs shows us he could be focusing on his material side a lot. He wants to be stable, confident, successful, financially and in his career, he needs to be that wise and reliable King, the one you can count on. He wants to build his strong Kingdom and be wealthy and prosperous. Then we have The Moon. With all these needs to be successful and prosperous, he could be tormented by his deep waters. There might be a lot going on in his unconscious mind, a lot that he isn’t even aware of. His deepest feelings, the shadowed part of his mind.
Tumblr media
The second was the Page of Flowers, 9 of Hedgehogs reversed and King of Spears. Page of Flowers is the excited boy who is so full of energy and always wants to explore and experiment everything, who is always ready for a new adventure, a social being with a lot of ideas. He feels this anxious energy of always wanting more, always wanting new things to keep going. 9 of Hedgehogs reversed, however, shows him also feeling insecure and incomplete, like he is not good enough or doesn’t have what’s needed to reach his goals or to be that Page of Flowers he is in his mind. He wants to do more and be more, he just feels like he has more to achieve (especially in the material side, money and career) but he’s not so confident in himself. The result is the King of Spears trying to be SO rational and wise and smart, trying to use his intellect and think of his strategies, which could end up making him a control freak.
With these emotions and desires, it gets hard to sleep.

Dramatic Voice: Last week in Therapy
Me: ...and I'm sure my sleeping problems aren't helping
Therapist: Sleeping problems?
Me: oh yeah I've had those since I was like, a teenager. My circadian rhythm never regulated so I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep.
Therapist: you realize that can worsen your anxiety
Me: I've been dealing with this my whole life 🤷
Therapist: you should make an appointment with the doctor
Me: okay
Dramatic Voice: The doctor helped the young adult by putting them on medication that can, indeed, help them sleep. They're very happy about this and looking forward to not being exhausted when they shouldn't be exhausted

School has been incredibly stressful, to say the least.
Note: self-esteem issues, memory issues, burnout, implied eating issues and sleeping issues
Almost all of my courses have to do with media analysis. This is where stuff like “I liked it” or “it was cool” or even more specific “this element of film/instrument/writing technique is used” is not specific enough. It’s not enough to describe the techniques used. One must understand the aim of using them, or what effect the author achieves, or how it connects to the historical context.
I look at a piece of art, I feel something, yet can’t put it into words because at the back of my mind there’s the idea of “look into it deeper, beyond your own feelings”. Paralyzed, even. I simply want to enjoy art for the sake of art.
Even things I once thought I liked, I grow tired of examining it in a standard above and different than my own. I look at something, I’ve no interest, I cannot connect points together… Quality, clarity, explaining things in a very literal A is X and B is Y thus XY way. Time management, focus, memory… Burnout.
Nonetheless, every step is a step forward towards completion, no matter how small. It’s a constant fight between making sense and hitting the word/page count and finishing things. And a fight between academic stuff and self-care.
Since spring is here, I won’t say “nothing matters”. Even amidst all this, I still find joy in things I like, where I feel happy in the moment. And I’m still eating, sleeping, standing, and breathing…!
This, I will not fail in doing.
I will seize every moment of happiness I get.

Hey there, I hope you’ll fine. Me is more than 48+ hours sleepless. Only 2 days ago I slept for 1 hour. After that nothing more. Can’t do it. I’m here with a fresh / new audio from few hours (2 hours) ago. For me it sounds very oddly. Don’t know why. Do you agree? Sounds not quite normal to me. It was in resting / laying down. Is it split S2? For me it sounds like that. I mean I have trouble to determine this but this here sounds very obvious to me. Or what is it? :D After this recording I had a lot of skips and doesn’t felt quite right / well. I guess I should get some rest. Sleep especally. But I can’t. It’s a impossible mission to me. I can try it all day and night long and would not find into it. I always sleep for 30 minutes to maximum 2 hours.. and my last 2 hour sleep is very long ago. More than a week. And the 30 minutes get also very rare.. yeah.. It’s not easy to deal with.

One of my true desires is to have one peaceful night of restful sleep
Tumblr media
No insomnia, nightmares, hallucinations, sleep apnea, paranoia, and possible sleep paralysis getting in the way. Just one night of peaceful rest is all I ask. Even if someone has to knock me out, I'm ready. Give me those Zzzzzz's

A Poem - Sleep
CW: Heavy themes involving depression & self neglect
I wake up I feel in my bones it’s not the right time It’s been 15 hours since I fell asleep I close my eyes
I wake up My body aches and my hands are icy It’s been 7 hours since I fell asleep I sit up
It’s been 6 hours since I woke up I bathed and ate and tried to pick things up I close my eyes
I wake up I feel gunk in my eyes pulling my eyelids down It’s been 3 hours since I fell asleep it’s time for work I sit up
It’s been 7 hours since I woke up I went to work and got home I even ate a sandwich I close my eyes
I wake up There is sweat all over me, in my clothes It’s been 8 hours since I fell asleep I feel gross I sit up
It’s been 4 hours since I woke up I ate something and showered Then I paced and daydreamed I close my eyes
I wake up My head hurts and my throat is dry I feel no need to get up I close my eyes
I wake up My head pounds and my stomach burns I wonder if I should fix that I close my eyes
I wake up Everything hurts My body is too hot and too cold It’s been 17 hours since I fell asleep I sit up
It’s been 8 hours since I woke up I wonder how long this will continue I told my friends I’m sorry for missing their texts I even showered and brushed my teeth I close my eyes

Transcript:  The Chain - T.M.I.
The Chain - T.M.I. comic
Light:  *putting pajamas on*
L:  *uncomfortably watching* .....
Light:  *in bed* Well?  Get over here.  Sleep it up.
L:  ..........Y’know, I think I’ll try the chair again--
Light:  NO.  You know that doesn’t work out.  Stop stalling and get over here.  I’m tired.  *sighs* Look. If we’re gonna solve this case as soon as possible, you’re gonna need to get over this weird hang up you have with sleeping with me.  GROW UP.  YOU KNOW I’M BEING LITERAL.
L:  I know.  I don’t care now you word it now.  *thinking* Just don’t make me say it.
Light:  If you’re not going to tell me, I’ll just piece it together.  I can’t help you if I don’t know what I’m helping with.
L:  *sigh* I think my sleeping habits are worse than yours.
Light:  Worse than almost killing yourself every night?  Yeah, I’m sure you have it real rough.  *rolls eyes*
L:  Mine’s less life-threatening than it is compromising.  *thinking* Well...  Maybe a little life-threatening.  He is Kira after all.
Light:  *annoyed* I’M NOT KIRA.  I KNOW YOU’RE THINKING IT.  So, it’s embarrassing, and it clearly has to do with my presence since you’re willing to sleep on the chair...  Odd sleeping habits--I strangle myself, and you... cuddle a pillow.  Despite what I said, I suppose it’s not that strange for an adult to hold onto something while sleeping.  I mean, “spooning” is a thing for a reason--!
L:  *shame* ...
Light:  ...We... ended up spooning, didn’t we?
L:  It was mostly me.  I lost track of the pillow... and latched onto you instead.
Light:  *worried* Did you do something perverted to me or something?  You can tell me.  I won’t get mad this time--
L:  Oh, no, thank goodness!  You can even check the footage if you don’t believe me.
Light:  Oh.  *snort* That’s it?  *amused and relieved*
L:  ?
Light:  *Man!  We’re handcuffed together!  We literally can’t get away from each other.  Of course that could happen!
L:  But I don’t want it to happen!
Light:  *cheeky* What?  Was I not comfy enough for ya?  *snicker*
L:  Nonono.  You were very comfy.
Light:  Well, nothing too inappropriate happened, so what’s the big deal?  You slept well, right?  I did, too!  I don’t remember any cuddling, but I slept great considering you were hanging onto me.
L:  *thinking* How can he be so blasé about this??
Light:  *idea* WAIT!!  While we were cuddling, did I try to endanger myself?
L:  ...No, I don’t think so.  I only had to prevent your actions once... I disengaged...  NO.
Light:  *advances* It works, though~.
L:  NO WAY.  I CAN’T.  NOT ON PURPOSE.
Light:  Why now?  It’s not like you have a crush on me or something~.  *laughs*
L:  *blushing* NO OF COURSE NOT THAT’S ridiculous.
Light:  !
L:  ...
Light:  *blanches*  ...
L:  ...

If Cross had a Sleep paralysis,Night terror, Terrible Nightmare and sleep walking/talking how will the gang react?
here u go, a short story based on your idea, which, by the way, is an amazing idea. I love that so much, it's kinda funny to think about.
-----------------------
Killer knew he had sleeping issues. Hell, he'd be surprised to find anyone in this castle who didn't have sleeping issues. Dust had horrible insomnia and nightmares, Horror was restless and woke up constantly for snacks, Nightmare just flat out avoided sleeping entirely, and Killer himself had pretty bad insomnia and restlessness as well.
As soon as Cross showed up, Killer knew right off the bat that this guy would have issues as well. And he wasn't wrong. Cross avoided sleep like the plague, woke up screaming when he did sleep, and, strangely enough, Cross was apparently a sleepwalker too.
The first time it happened, it hadn't even been obvious.
The gang tended to stay up at ungodly hours, only really going to sleep when they really thought they needed it. Nothing short of passing out would ever really land them in bed. However, Cross had a sleep schedule. He went to bed at a specific time, and woke up at a specific time, like clockwork, before carrying out activities and tasks that were very clearly planned beforehand.
Killer didn't blame him for keeping himself on such a schedule, they all had something they had to do to stay sane, and this was what Cross did.
That being said, it had been a tad startling when Cross walked into the kitchen at nearly 12 am, way past his usual bedtime. It had been even more alarming when the newbie walked straight into a cupboard and stood there for a solid ten minutes. Dust had laughed himself raw, jeering from the table and picking at Cross, though he stopped the longer Cross was unresponsive.
And then, without a word, Cross turned and walked back out the door, staring at nothing in particular, and vanished into the darkness beyond.
The next morning, when Cross joined them for breakfast, he'd been flat out confused. "No?? I was in bed, I don't even remember waking up, are you sure I did that?"
The second time, it had been just as startling, though slightly more concerning. Nightmare had opened his office door to find Cross standing there, wide eyed and mumbling about Ink's horrible brush cooking.
Nightmare had jumped back nearly a foot, his corruption spiking and rippling as he demanded to know what Cross wanted. "Ink. His tacos. They're made of ink." And Cross left without ceasing his strange muttering. Nightmare watched after him, confused, because he could clearly sense that Cross was asleep. But, Cross had been there, at his door, and looked awake.
Killer joked around for a while that Cross was doing drugs or some kind of stimulant.
Cross, once again, denied it ever happening. He couldn't recall anything of the sort, though he did admit to dreaming about the tacos Ink used to make.
One time is an event, two times is a coincidence, but three times is a pattern.
Tonight, Killer had run into him alone this time. As someone with bad sleeping habits, he tended to roam aimlessly in the darker hours of the day, doing mostly nothing until he could actually do something else.
He ran right into Cross, bumping into the unmoving soldier from behind. No reaction came aside from a slight swaying. Killer stepped back, opening his mouth to snark something unflattering, but paused as Cross shifted.
It immediately unnerved Killer, to meet Cross's gaze and find no recognition of any sort, any hint of awareness of where he was or what he was doing. Cross stared at him, unblinking, before turning again and walking away a couple feet. He hit a wall, tripping on his feet as he stumbled back, and dropped onto the floor with a gasp.
A split second later, Cross sat up sharply, a hand on his face where he'd slammed into the wall. Killer watched, dumbfounded, as Cross rubbed his face, cursing. "Not again.."
"Yo, what the fuck."
Cross jumped, turning around quickly, his eyes widening at the sight of Killer. "Oh- Hey, Killer, um. What's up?"
"Wh- What's up with you?? Are you high or some shit??"
Cross's hand slid down to his neck, his hand scratching at it awkwardly. "Uh. No, I'm, eh. I think I'm sleepwalking again."
And it all clicked, and Killer's first reaction was to snort loudly and remark, "Yeah, no shit."
The next day, as soon as Nightmare found out, Cross was giving a rather stern lecture about sharing such issues. "I nearly killed you the other night simply because you showed up at my office door! If I had known beforehand-!" Cross grimaced under the verbal assault, nodding along.
---
Once Cross's sleepwalking habits were well-known, they no longer batted an eye when Cross suddenly appeared ominously in random places.
The day came, however, when a new issue made itself known. It started with Nightmare stiffening at the table. Horror tilted his head when he noticed, a light frown on his face. "boss?"
Nightmare pushed out of his seat roughly, a sense of urgency falling over him. "Something is wrong with Cross," was all he said before he warped into the shadows and away to Cross's room.
Without a moment's thought, the others were following, the three of them scrambling out of their seats to teleport across the castle and join Nightmare.
The first thing they heard was the screaming. Horrible, scratchy, pained screaming that had Dust's chest feeling tight with rising panic and Horror twitching at the volume.
The door was already open, Nightmare already inside with his tentacles worming around Cross's arms and legs to keep his thrashing body from falling off the bed. Killer's legs tensed, weak at the sight of Cross, someone who was normally so stoic yet chilled, begging for something and screaming like his life depended on it.
The event lasted only a minute or two, yet it felt like an eternity before Nightmare managed to set his hand on Cross's skull and pull the night terror away. Cross's voice broke, his breath coming heavily and sweat beaded his skull, but slowly, he calmed. Nightmare siphoned away the negativity, draining Cross of the worst of it before letting out a sigh and pulling away entirely. Cross remained dead asleep somehow, now relaxed and content looking.
This too, along with the sleepwalking, became a regular occurrence. Nightmare couldn't do much, as Cross refused to take sleeping medication and refused to see anyone about his nightmares.
The sleep paralysis was the worst thing, Nightmare seemed to claim. The terror Cross always felt when it happened was so potent that it was nearly visibly tangible. Once Nightmare began to be able to notice the tell-tell signs of a bad night's rest, he started ordering 'joint sleep sessions'.
They were basically sleepovers. It did wonders for Cross, as well as the others. Those were the nights when all of them, even Nightmare, got the best sleep.

The world sucks and I am spinning out- read more quotes I copied from Amy Poehler’s book that I read from my notes app at work:
“Eat some nice soup and you will feel better. Or take a walk”.
“Relax and let her win. Who cares?”
“Talk slower and louder”.
“She herself was breast feeding at the time, and as history has shown, this is when a bitch is most likely to go off”.
“All it takes is for Tina to softly say, “we can do this, right?” And I suddenly feel like I can jump off a bridge”.
“As the old saying goes, “don’t ask for permission to sit on George Clooney’s lap. Beg for forgiveness once you do”.
“It seems in olden times people loved to stick their babies in strange places and then brag about where they fit. My father also once told me a story about using a warm baked potato as some kind of mitten”.
“There should be manuals passed out to girls on how to handle that inevitable one week stretch when up is down and the best friend who just slept over at your house suddenly pulls your hair in front of everyone and laughs”.
“I watched more than one sunrise in a strange suburban driveway”.
“I now read articles about how great sleep is and how important it is and I cry because I want it so bad and I am so mad at how great everyone else seems to be at it”.
“Being awake and sober at 4 AM is a much different experience from being awake and stumbling home. I have certainly done both”.
“We had to dance in the middle of a New Jersey highway at 6am. Kenan kept pretending to take calls from himself asking why he had done this to himself”.
“Throughout my life I have been told I snore so loudly that it sound like I am dying or choking. I come from a family of snorers and we all used to record each other to show each other the damning evidence. I am convinced my body is trying to gently strangle me to death”.
“Once I pulled back the curtain and locked eyes with a masturbating Peeping Tom, and he just waved at me like someone saying farewell from the dock of a ship”.
