actually i think it is? when i sleep well, usually my body sets a specific time and that's always roughly the same every day. yeah i'll try:)

that's a nice way to put it:)

a little:)

@Schizophonia yeah i figured i'll just get up when i can't sleep and pretend there's no need to sleep at all and if i want to, i can stay up all night and keep myself busy. if you ever wanna hear a German girl attempt to speak French, let me know:)

i've never had a beer in my life:) and i think i remember seeing you're French?:)

@Princess Arabia got it:)

yeah i think you're right about this. it's probably safer (more reliable) to order supplements online.

i live in Germany. as far as i'm concerned, everything's regulated here lol. but i get your point:)

i hardly watch YouTube shorts anymore and i started doing more things offline. music is helpful, i believe, so i won't cut that out. not really fond of meditation rn.

yes i think it's just uncomfortable to be lying there and be by myself with my own thoughts and no distractions. i tried having a YouTube video play in the background (without looking at the screen) to hear some noises cause i thought this might help, but then i worry about needing to turn it off when i feel sleepy...although i guess i could work around that on spotify with a sleep timer. i live in a single bedroom apartment, so my bedroom is my office, my kitchen, my living room...and if i want a couch throughout the day, that's usually my bed. but it's been this way for years. i had some insomnia when i first came here, but it resolved on its own after a while and i got used to it. also i got a night light. it's around the corner and not too bright...the reasoning being that i don't want to get scared or disoriented when i wake up from a bad dream or something. although sometimes i wonder if it would be good for me to have complete darkness during sleep.

for example last night i kept myself busy working on my embroidery until i felt very tired. then i went to bed and suddenly felt wide awake and it took me until 3am to fall asleep. it's like my heartrate goes up again just when i decide it's time to sleep?

@Michael569 okay:) thanks again.

@Schizophonia i'm struggling with that.

@gettoefl i think the moon also got quite close to earth last week? might be that that had some sort of impact, who knows.

@Schizophonia yes. i guess it's especially bad at night in bed because there's not much to distract me.
