To some of you:

Do y'all just not sleep? Is it drugs? Are you using the drugs?

More importantly, can I HAVE some of the drugs?

It's not drugs, it's insomnia. I wish I could sleep more peacefully. ;_; @Fist_of_Bob
@byterhymer I've got the same condition, but the people I'm seeing are hardcore. Seems like they've been awake for three days now.
Yikes. I have tried drugs *to sleep* on occasion. Melatonin was weird, I felt like I was tripping the next day. Not recommended. @Fist_of_Bob

@byterhymer I've got prescription stuff that sometimes doesn't work, and that is truly awful.

Dunno if you'd be into it, but I recently discovered a podcast called Sleep With Me. Now, that guy's voice often knocks me right out...so long as it's not one of the STNG episodes (only because I follow along with the plot). He tells these rambling, pointless stories with lots of tangents. It reminds me of a chemistry teacher that I had. I learned NO chemistry, but I did sleep well for an hour a day.

Hahaha, more boring than counting sheep I guess? If I'm desperate perhaps I'll check it out sometime. @Fist_of_Bob

@byterhymer If it helps as a recommendation, I honestly found it effective enough that I'm one of the podcaster's patrons.

Yes. If you help me sleep, I will help pay your bills.

@byterhymer that usually means you took too much, which is easy to do bc of how it's sold. you should only need to take 1/2 mg or less @Fist_of_Bob

@Fist_of_Bob Green Tea, specifically the one that's grown in the shadow. And a tea kettle with temperature regulation and brew timer, and a place to store the leaves for a second flush.

Caffeinates just right, and doesn't dehydrate as much as coffee.
