I try to go to sleep, lay there with nothing but brain noise to distract me and come up with ideas I am compelled to do something with right when I get them. And the worst part is that I can do something with them. I can't just lie to myself and say I cant because all the tools I need to do something with them (eg. Computer, notepad etc.) are right there and easily accessible. So I end up spending an hour or more working on something instead of sleeping and only manage to sleep when I am too physically exhausted to remain awake. Rinse repeat forever.

This is why i listen to audiobooks or radio plays to fall asleep to.

They are engaging enough to stop the noise but i can still fall asleep listening.

Works good for me, atleast most of the time*.

*Damn you Will Patton for reading Stephen King novells in such a gripping way, you are banned from bedtime listening!

I'm looking at this at 4:31 AM. 🥲

Telling from my own experience, looking at your phone is not going to be helpful.
My advice would be to do something entertaining, but tiring. Like solving a sudoku if that floats your boat. Or reading. At least that's what sometimes does the trick for me.

Weed: I got ya bro.

Would this work? And how does weed go together with Vyvanse? I'm hesitant...
