Marijuana

i haven't smoked in a while

i'd like to but none of my close friends are into it
---

I listen to some ASMR. Either soft talking, rambling, or light tapping.

Then throw my phone away when they start doing mouth sounds.
---

I get Alexa to play some rain ambience on my echo and tell her to stop playing after a couple of hours. Knocks me out every time.

Having a window slightly open, unless it's blowing a gale of course, I dunno I always sleep better if I have some fresh air circulating - oh and I don't like complete darkness, so I have the light on in the hall which let's a little light into my room without being enough to disturb me

used to be benadryl, but I've been mostly off that stuff for the last 18 months.

now, nothing. I just go until I can't go anymore, and deal with getting however much sleep I managed to get.

Drugs and alcohol mostly.

Sleeping pills

i took sleeping pills for approx the first year when i got my first job because i was so stressed/anxious that i couldn't get to sleep thinking i'd screw up

it wasn't great because sometimes they didn't work and i'd feel even worse

Can be lots of things. I mostly listen to stuff thst helps me relax rather than "head tingles" myself but can be stuff to stimulate you (non sexually mind, even as with everything in existence some do sexual versions of it)

Both of these although tried to cut down on the alcohol. It's not just sleeping, having a fan on me relaxes me when I'm awake so it's usually on then too.

Maybe 4 to 6 beers a night.

Sometime 2 or 3 double shots of Scotch.

Cold milk, rain noises (Maybe air conditioner noises), doing something really boring while in bed.
---

i use a fan for both the white noise and the soothing feeling of the breeze blowing over my face

while im laying there i basically do what i do when i meditate -- focus on the breath (mindfulness of breath)

This. Sometimes I have to use Melatonin when I can't smoke. I also use background noise. Shows I can watch in my head cause Ive seen them so many times. I pull my blanket ir pillow over all of my face except my mouth so it's dark and warm but I get fresh air
