Been there.... skip caffeine after lunch. Drink lots of water to clear it up. Asianometry videos are pretty relaxing! |

you can prep food in the evening to tire yourself out in the kitchen for the next day. Cleaning wakes me up though so be sure to use a dish washer, or be very careful about exposure to cold water. Obviously only works if your not starving. This could realistically get you two good nights of sleep per week. Something time consuming like french onion soup, risoto, separating fresh herbs leaf by leaf, properly pan frying food in small portions for correct cooking (not over loading the pan so you need to stand there longer), grinding your own meat, flour, making pasta, doughs, meat balls (actually pan sear small meat balls and finish the next day in a sauce) etc.. so you need to do fairly comprehensive labor for a while. Requires some prep for rapid cooling of partially cooked food and knowledge of the kitchen. Time consuming but it does make you tired. fast time saving cooking is obviously the opposite of what you want... try it without hacks. There is always a trade off between quality and time, even something as simple as making your own powdered sugar or maintaining freshness in the kitchen (keep track of vegetables in the fridge, flip lettuces to avoid compression/soaking, etc). Add a few minutes to every step improving quality with labor and two hours of fairly tiring work passes by rapidly. Its also cheap if you have the tools and sustains you, unlike medication... getting warm lights in the kitchen helps too. |

I always fall asleep watching youtube. Documentaries, electronics, history, retro computing. If person speaks too fast, I find it helpful to run it at 75% speed. |

I've had insomnia for 5 years. One of the reasons I decided not to finish my PhD. I've yet to find a fix. Strong medicines like benzos are really the only thing that can put me to sleep but even then those don't work all the time. Medications are not a good long-term fix though so that's not viable. I don't know what to tell you haha. I just suffer with it. |

I find that one of the most important thing for me in order to fall asleep is going to sleep at the exact same time and waking up at the exact same time (on weekends you can push the limits here). |
