[brain meds] i'm trying to get off what i'm on, but it's the only thing really keeping my sleep habits regular, so i'm hesitant

i'm trying to work on sleep hygiene (he typed into plurk at 11:42pm local time on a weeknight...) but struggling

i'm sure i can do this, and i will feel better to know that i could possibly sleep on my own and not entirely bc of pharmaceuticals

bc the other piece of this is that at the moment i'm nigh incapable of going to sleep sans meds, so i'd be looking at a sleepless night or two minimum in said transition

but if can really do it, if i can really conquer the act of actually going to bed voluntarily, i will probably be healthier and have an easier time dealing with my every day life...

so I am also wrangling this rn

and yes, more sleep better for daily life

but also I have discovered: going to bed when I'm not tired yet is so bad for me

i flop around being mad at myself and getting anxious

lately I've been staying up until I want to go to bed and while I spend fewer hours in bed I'm getting the same amount of sleep??? idk

i get into similar bad spots. more angry at self than anxious, but it's certainly not helping

well yeah all of the above

plus "am I keeping paladin awake" and so on

thanks brain

sure am glad you take the virgo trait of service and do that with it

anyway, I will gladly discuss this with you in more detail but for tonight, sleepy Rina. I hope you rest well when you get there. <3

i feel ya, i had many sleepless nights next to a partner i was really hoping to not keep up

i'm going to give it the ol' college try right now

best of luck to us both!
