Hibikiover 11 years ago
actually that would be impractical right now. but if u wanna play give me 10 mins & i can

actually the whole 'stay up so i can get back on track' mindset is broken because you're depriving yourself of sleep for no reason which will likely you up more

those are great practices in theory shane when i dont have dopamine coursing through my veins and i cant seem to shut my mind off per say

i usually get comfy with a youtube video after dinner and unwillingly nod off. kerry lets it happen because she thinks its cute. today we had work to do so she didnt let me fall asleep and now here i am

how does one sleep again
it all seems like a blur
close your eyes for a while and force yourself to stay. I find that having a sleeping mask for your eyes and then earplugs puts you at a state of silence. Once you have freed yourself of noise and sight, empty your mind until the memories of the day disappear into nothing.

Hibikiover 11 years ago
take 20-30 minute naps 4 times a day and achieve maximum free time

frankly i dont even care about dreams any more. sleep is for fatigue
I've come to appreciate so much the little amount of sleep my body lets me have that I guess wishing to be able to lucid dream as well is just wishful thinking

Well that's good ^-^ and hey I'm no expert or anything and I haven't walked in your shoes but I think it'll get better for ya.
But wait you lucid dream?? I have always wanted to do that! It seems so interesting I am super jealous of you right now omg!
i only did it once. it was really surreal at first because i didn't think i was lucid dreaming. i literally had a dream where i was sleeping in my room and i woke up and suddenly i realized that i wasn't actually awake while exploring my house because the time of day was different
i only got to explore a little bit, then i had a weird shift where i didn't really get to explore anything but i was playing out different set pieces of my memory, and then eventually it broke when i realized how unrealistic everything was and i immediately woke up
Ah I see.. Idk it might just be me being weird but it just seems like something I would love to be able to do.. could you imagine the possibilities to do whatever you wanted? Feel the way you would if actually doing it yet be sound asleep?

My eating schedule has been messed up ever since living in a dorm room. I usually sleep at 3 or 4 am now usually. Yesterday I didn't have anything to eat until 9pm and I wasn't really hungry the entire day.
