      yeah lately mine has been:
      *lights on
      *tv on
      *fan going
      *couch locked
      Just need a lazyboy and a beer and I'll be full :grillman:
      Update: made it to the bed last night. I can feel the boomer grillman gods disappointment :cri:

      One of many things that sucks about aging is the bed isn't really optional anymore. I used to be able to pass out anywhere. Airport floor, back of a truck, roots of a tree, whatever. Now if my matress is too hard i'll be awake for days. idfk God is a shitass and entropy is dumb.

    How about eating some actual food instead of spending your life savings on these supplements. EMF shield is bs too. Also wears a blackout mask but needs a lightbulb?

    I just have blackout curtains + orthopaedic mattress and electric blanket/mattress warmer for the winter. And some weatherstripping on the door for soundproofing

      If I do that I'll stay up for thirty hours. If I don't do that I pass out after about 9. Bodies are a fuck want to be an ephemeral being of pure energy stretched across untold light years.

    I have a kneejerk negative reaction to anything being described as a "stack." Is this because I'm only exposed to the most annoying people who talk like this?

      He's defining himself as part of an ingroup by use of insider slang. "If you aren't one of us, you won't understand. You'll just try to ridicule us, which is just typical of you unwashed morons."

        Sounds about right. When people use language like that, my (probably unhelpful, but satisfying to me) typical reaction is to pretend not to understand. "Oh, you need a sleep sack? Congratulations on becoming a parent! Well, my aunt is a former NICU nurse, and she swears by HALO, but I think once you get past wanting to swaddle, any brand is as good as another. Just see what you can get second hand, it'll be fine."

      Remember some post by the bullet proof coffee guy of how he life hacks flying on a plane and it was impressive how many products he managed to cram into a few sentences that he definitely wasn't grifting for.

    it's funny because there's good advice for proper sleep hygiene like not eating 2 or 3 hours before bead, no screens 30 minutes before bed, doing some breathing exercises and reading under a soft light, and then there's I SLEEP IN A 68 DEGREE BED AND KEEP MY ELECTRONICS IN A SAFE SO MY SLEEP IS NOT DISTURBED BY THE EMF ALIENS

    And also all of it is presented like a tech bro software stack. like bro i just hacked insomnia. The 1 percent betterers are truly the Patrick Batemans of twitter

        I got you:

        1. be young
        2. don't have abdominal tumors
        3. don't drink anything 90 minutes before bed
        4. drink until you pee almost clear (but not perfectly clear because then you're probably hyponatremic) literally the rest of the day to make sure you're otherwise hydrated

          If I don't drink water before bed I wake up dry and fucked up and have a headache and am congested

            when is your last food intake before bed? How much fiber and salt are in that meal? How well hydrated are you the rest of the day? Do you have any medical conditions that affect your circulation?

              I don't eat before bed it gives me acid

              It's just really fucking dry here, and I have allergies so I need to be hydrated before I spend 8 hours not drinking. I'd rather just get up and pee

                If it's from the dryness would a humidifier in your bedroom help?

      I actually have a solution for that you can get those little hospital urinals on amazon.

      It's not a solution I use, but it's a solution I have.

      Maybe the adult nappies don't even need to be mentioned and come by default.

    Ah, bless your hearts, nootropics community. You figured out why a cup of tea wakes you up real good, then somehow distilled that knowledge into chemistry that deduces that amphetamines ARE EXTREMELY GOODER!
