Does anyone have any tips on falling asleep that aren't mindfulness stuff, meditation, medication, breathing exercises, being active, white noise, music, or temperature relation?

 

Cause I haven't slept nearly at all in a month and I would really like to know if there's just something I'm missing

Hey you could probably use this too!

Something my mom told me years ago is to make a grocery list alphabetically in your head. You’d start at A and name everything you can think of that starts with A that you can buy at a grocery store (think something more like a super or hypermarché than the smaller specialty shops for this). Like in English I would think “Apple, avocado, asparagus-“ and keep going until I ran out of A’s, then move to B and so on

My sister has one that has raised pads around the eyes to.keep that from happening, so they do exist.

Thanks! It's from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, one of my favorite anime! Though the specific picture is an illustration from the manga, I think.

I just started the manga!

I do have diagnosed chronic insomnia, which i forgot to mention in earlier post

Just trying to combat it a bit

yeah, sounds right. That used to work, but hasn't for a bit

Ahh, ok. Well, I'm glad you got it checked out at some point, though I'm sorry that the diagnosis is one that's not very helpful. I hope you find things that help. Sorry I don't have more ideas; insomnia is only an occasional thing for me, so I haven't needed to dig deep to find unusual tricks for it.

Frieran! I'm reading that right now too! Manga, not anime - I don't sit through tv well for the most part, and reading lets me go fast. 

I messed up though - I'm borrowing the books from the library to read. I put the whole series on hold (I thought), picked them all up, got home, and started reading...only to discover that I never put volume 7 on hold. And now I'm stuck in the middle, waiting for that one to arrive T-T

Just bc you've seen some mature stuff doesn't mean it's a good idea to watch more. The labels are there for a reason xD

*sigh* but fighting. I like the fighting parts of it.l but apparently if you kill to many poeple its rated 16+ for violence and gore. I WATCH JJK FOR GOJO ONLY . Hes the only reason im watching that show. I heard the plot was easily predictable. And hazbin is for my boi Alastor. I wanna know bros backstory! I skip episode 4 for obv reasons. Cause thats angel dusts episode. But i never skip welcome to heaven cause thats gotta be the best espisode ever. Also has the best song ever!

Gojo do be hot xD
Not to be a boring nerdy adult here, but there are scientific studies proving correlation between watching violent shows/media and increased stress levels as a teenager. (In this particular study, they found that this peaked at age 16 and then declined a bit. So there's a reason some stuff is 16+ for violence) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0193397317300291?via%3Dihub

I think watching a show with fighting in it is totally fine, just less so if it's got more blood/gore. So basically just follow what the age ratings say  Ofc those ratings are just guidelines, but I'm just saying that they're there for a reason, and there's a lot of thought that goes into that.

I still recommend the anime, it's really well done and super engaging. I also have a hard time sitting through longer episodes, but these ones are only 20 ish minutes each, and easy to step away from and come back to.

Oh . . . whoops  I've definitely done similar things in the past.
