Less detail=more relatable

Could not agree more!

I used to be someone who talked a lot without ever listening. Learning a language made me start to listen to people all around the world… And wow did it change me. It was especially cool to hear people with completely polarizing political views speak for themselves, instead of me hearing them through the lens of news and memes.

I’m the opposite of an insomniac - I’m a rabid sleeper and love sleep. I usually hit 9 hours a day, sometimes more.

Here’s what works for me - most obviously won’t work for you, but give some another try if you haven’t done them yet -

• Clean your bedsheets every couple days. Clean sheets = 😍
• Wash your hair well and shower right before getting into bed. No smell = 🥰
• Use white noise. You’ll never get perfect silence, so drown out noise instead
• Turn off every single LED and light in your room. Don’t have a single light source visible while you’re in bed.
• Get an eye mask - a high quality one - if you can’t do the above.
• Do the workout of your lifetime - Do an all-day hike or something. You can clock out from physical exhaustion
• Get in and out of bed at the same time every day. Start with less sleep time than you need. Force your body to recognize “I only rest in this bed”
• Conversely, don’t do anything in your bed besides sleep. Especially don’t use your phone with the nasty blue light

The crazy thing to me is that people devoted thousands of hours to film some of these beautiful, low budget documentaries and films and just… After so much commitment, not even the company you sold the copyright to cares anymore. If not for these beautiful seeders, I wouldn’t have ever seen their work.

Better than dumping into ~/
