Currently listening through the dungeon crawler Carl series with the missus, we're currently on the dungeon anarchist's cookbook. On my own, I've just started the blacksmith's son, the first book in the mageborn series.

This is honestly something I miss doing after moving to the city. Screaming is apparently frowned upon among other people.

Not sure if I'm just weird or if this is a general rule for insomnia, but for me, what works will vary and there's no foolproof recipe to make me sleep, but below are some things that do help me.

  • Exercise
  • Consistent wake up time
  • No screens 2 hours before bed
  • Blocking sunlight early (sun currently sets after 10 pm)
  • No food for at least 6 hours before bed
  • Stop liquids 3 hours before bedtime
  • White noise during sleep (I prefer the sound of rain)
  • Don't leave things unfinished before bed, especially tasks that will make you worry or have anxiety
  • Decluttered bedroom
  • Clean bedsheets
  • Air purifier
  • Aromatherapy diffuser with lemongrass
