Quitting/Taking a long break from cannabis, and my sleep has been awful for the last week and a bit. What do you folks like to do to get ready for bed? (self.casualconversation)

Been through this before, so I know it gets better eventually, but what do you folks generally do to optimize beddy-bye time? To the insomniacs, what are some things you do in the wee hours/early morning for a relaxing start to your day?

This morning's choice is checking out the music of Casiopea - saw them mentioned in a meme here recently, then later on saw one of my favourite gig spaces has a great local fusion jazz band doing a show covering them at the end of the month. Very chill, feels like menu music of a mid-90s Japanese 3D game in a very good way, lol. Funny how these things happen sometimes, kinda like seeing the car model you just bought everywhere on the road shortly after purchase.

I think that only works for individuals with penises. When I have sex or masturbate, it immediately gives me energy and I'm inclined to jump out of bed and be productive.

...this is embarrassing to say, but I never considered that this could be the case for vagina owners. Without going into too many details (not really my place to share), hasn't come up with my partner and I re: sex, and I've never thought to ask her re: masturbation and sleepiness or lack thereof.

Could always just be an element of personal make up, though. I learned something today! Legit appreciate the added perspective!
