insomnia

just get more sleep

thanks, I'm cured (:

but I read that as genuine concern, as you didn't know why I didn't sleep much.

Trying to get more sleep today, but either people keep me from sleeping (being loud outside, being my boss and thinking I need to work) or my organism decides to pump out cortisol or adrenaline and that keeps me awake.

Oh damn I’m sorry to hear about that, hoping things get better for you

idk if this helps but when there’s too much noise outside or too much stress inside I like to put on the radio quietly to drown it out, there’s something about being tuned into static-laden local broadcasts that makes me feel less lonely and more connected, not caught in the crazy buzz of the global internet but also not wallowing away by myself. It’s very comforting for me.

I do something like this, but instead listen to recordings of the animals from where I grew up. (Frogs chirping, rain in forest, and Barn Owl calls. Really relaxes me.) Also, I have found that if I watch a bunch of something that will make me laugh before laying down it helps. (Stand-up, comedy panel shows, Try Not to Laugh videos, etc.)

laughing helps because it makes you breathe.
