things are in fact going extremely badly but we’ll see if they pick up starting tomorrow night for reasons that will preclude me being here for about a week (seeing my SO)

    That’s great. Yes as I mentioned look up sleep hygiene. People underestimate it and often ignore my advice. I had to learn it due to some meds I took a long time ago that kept we super awake.

    Ear plugs require some practice, and there’s many different kinds. I prefer wax. And if you have curtains that let any light through it is really worth the investment. IKEA has good ones for like 50 eur.

    If you must drink coffee, just take a single cup in the morning. You can also replace it with decaf like I did. Tea you can replace with ginger and mint. And like I said avoid alcohol. Like even a beer before bed will have negative effects.

    Of course your tech usage matters too. At least start using the blue filter setting on your phone and pc.

    Then regularity goes without question.

    There’s a bunch of other things that help if you look it up. It’s really a matter of trying everything out.

    Finally you might want to look into meditation. Stress means bad sleep. Even a simple body scan can help here.
