Bad dreams, but mostly just....the sleep quality isn't there.

*nods* Understand. Been there before.

Thankfully, after I put a piece of rose quartz by my bed, I've been having some pretty great dreams.

Recently, most of my dreams have been playing on my real-life fears. They aren't as fantastically horrifying as some of my nightmares from years ago, but they've been...much more realistic.

Ouch...that definitely has to suck. Maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you something?

Did you see my FB post from yesterday? I think I'm having such shitty sleep quality because 1.) I'm not eating properly and 2.) my brain isn't shutting down for the night.

Nyquil? Teas meant to encourage relaxation? Heater pillows?
What is keeping your brain from relaxing? I know on my end it is a fear of sleep/missing out on something.

I just...it might be genetic, to be honest. My dad has the same problem of getting his brain to shut down for the night, and since I get most of my genes from his side...

...That worries me.

Trick it? Exercise until you are tired at night? As to genetic...that was a possibility for the oxygen/on your side thing. (Recommended for my apnea)

...Dim the light on your computer monitor. I recall something about the blue of monitors impeding sleep...

My monitor's always at the second-to-lowest setting on this rig.

Find something that wears you out? Were I there, I'd work on karate, or walk for miles.

I have no idea what could help you. All I know is I love my pillow.

Ugh, I would if it weren't twenty below freezing here.

...you have the exercise room on the bottom floor of the dorm...

Exercise is normally good, but reading and other such activities can do quite well dependent on your personality.

It's that here as well!!! <3 I was just walking the dog in it. Its cold.

Not below zero here, but it's definitely below freezing...brrrr....

Same here. No snow though, so the ground is just frozen solid. :-(

We had snow. It melted some today though. Was nice last night when it was fresh and not frozen.

It's cold as all get out here and I have to go feed a cat tomorrow in this weather.

Eight degrees, and in shorts and a short-sleeved polo...
How am I typing?
Suze! I think your black cloud of not-feeling anything visited me! (in other words - I'm numb from cold)

Law, you are going to catch pneumonia!

.....oh my god law how many times have i told you that you never fucking wear enough.

I think that goes for most people who are used to the snow though.

I LOVE and adore the snow ~ But I still wear pants! or at least tights! outdoors in this weather.

Well...I hadn't planned on spending that day outside much, but the gas ran on empty, and the buildings I learned to cut through were locked.

Umm... ix-nay on the neumonia-pay. (Walking pneumonia for months a while ago)

In that situation, it wouldn't be eumonia-pnay?

Also! WEAR CLOTHES IN COLD WEATHER YOU SILLY GOOSE!

Well...it is one way for me to break out/loosen up, in truth. Some drink, some play games, I run around daring nature to freeze me to death. (hyperbole - I do not have any intent of actually freezing to death, and only by accident does it ever go further than it should *coughs* locked out of dorm at 4 am *coughs*)

Uh huh...last thing you need is to be stuck out or at least stuck inside without power/warmth.

Law. Do I need to send you some mittens?

Nah. A brain that makes sense would likely be more useful.

I don't have any of those to spare. :D

Holy hell it's been awhile.

Oh! More people come back from the outside world!

O.O
*All eyes on new oldie*

*pokes head in* I really can't sleep right now...just re-read a creepy story...

I can't ready creepy before bed. Oh no!

I normally can, but this one is just...way beyond normal levels of creepy.

*curiously looks in* May I read it?

Give me a minute to find it. Was on my tumblr so I have to dig around a bit.

And here it is: Read at your own peril
