industrial commercial made leather is not the same as indigenous made leather (traditional or even modern technique)

no actual vegan, when talking about the destructive nature of leather, is talking about indigenous people

we are always talking about commercial industries. And you should too! Remember this:

Scale and profit, supply and demand, necessity and moving towards more efficiency/sustainability.

Scale and profit: Who is directly making the profit, and in every step from 'seed to fruit to mouth' what is the scale of the operations (or it's impact) compared to the entire living planet. To the animals, humans, and enviroment. Think about it for a second and you will realize indigenous populations do not the same effect as industries. The scale of operations, and the impact of operations.

Supply and Demand: You pay for it which creates demand, and thus you are supplied it. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but, the biggest thing to remember is to do your best. Everyone can do that, and it looks different for every single person. Always check in with yourself and see if an alternative is better, for you and/or for others.

Necessity: Sometimes we can indulge in unnecessary things, but not at the expense of other living beings or the enviroment. Always check in and ask yourself if you NEED a product compared to WANT, and if there is a more ethical/sustainable alternative. Need is defined by you, and can change. Which is why i say to check in with yourself instead of assuming you'll never be ready for an alternative.

Moving towards more efficiency/sustainability: I dont like to say moving forward, because sometimes the best thing is to go back. The biggest thing we can strive to do and to always fight for is efficiency/sustainability. Always searching for better ways to do something, so as to cause the least harm possible to humans, animals, and the enviroment.

The argument cant be about animal based leather and vegan leather. Its not that simple, its too broad.

Are we talking brain tanned leather? which animal? which chemicals? where was this done? who made it?

Is the vegan leather plastic? is it a sustainable material? where does the money go? is it efficent/sustainable and long lasting?

Because not all vegan leather is plastic- but not all animal leather is produced by more small scale sustainable sources like by native vendors. When people talk about Leather vs Vegan leather, they are talking about commercial grade leather and pleather which is plastic.

Both are bad, but considering the enviromental impact of chemical in the water, the human rights violations and health issues, the enviromental imapact of feeding and water cows, and then ethical stance of the slaughtering of cows whether byproduct or not- Real leather would be worse than Pleather, which impact would be chemicals, plastic and microplastics, and depending on whos making it, possibly human rights violations BUT also: pleather isnt vegan leather. Not only vegans buy it, and seeing as there are not many vegans..

Its easy to get defensive over this, and on the surface it can seem like people are judging you and want to take away fashion that of which can make people happy.

But when you get that knee jerk reaction, just take a moment instead of riding off your emotions- which is something i also need to work on. Because whats better than going back and forth fighting through text on the internet knowing all we are doing is satisfying our negative emotions, is having a genuine conversation and voicing your worries and concerns and questions when it comes to veganism

You will have to read and you will have to click links. It sucks and no one, not even vegans like to have to fact check and read whole articles just to have a conversation, but imagine this: What if you have the wrong information, or even not all the details or the whole picture? What if there are options? or what if you could even find out some or even all your concerns are based off of misinformation of veganism.

I always ask myself that. Because where did my information come from? wheres the money trail? did i learn it from a parent who learned it from their parents in which now could be considered outdated information? or bias?

It doesnt stop at leather. Food and where it comes from and who profits and most importantly what is necessary- and can we make that necessity more efficient? sustainable? ethical?

The priorities are vast and complicated and that is why we need to have conversations. Ask questions! No one asks genuine questions anymore. If anything, whatever you think you know about veganism just pretend you dont. Ask every little thing so you can hear the community say it back in our own words. But please at least read and consider what we say- we dont want to keep talking AT you or you at us. we want conversation and questions PLEASE

#vegan ref #vegan #veganism #vegans #leather #i saw a post about leather #u know the one #or theres like 3 main ones that say pretty much the exact same thing #but its like its always at us never with us. always you vegans are the problem #you 1-3% of the population are the cause of microplastics in my placenta #like stop! vegans know sheep have to be sheared vegans know pleather is plastic we know u dont kill cows to get milk #where are you hearing these things!#this is why there needs to be an offical definition #a legal term or wtvr. to get rid of fuvking idiots who say they are vegan but arent #its not about gatekeeping its just about going by a definition like #AUUGJJ #vegans dont like peta vegans dont like that vegan teacher #yes theres vegans who grew up on a farm slaughtered animals were farmers in food deserts have EDs are autistic are homeless #are black are indigenous are poor have every allergy ever #because its not a diet. its #like philosphy or mindset or way of..view? ideology?#someone help me here #anywayyyy ill shut up now #also hope this doesnt come off as one of those posts that sound babying and condescending #i tried to avoid that. my voice just doesnt translate to text well #imagine me. who loves humans and humanity. and is also extremely left and anti capitalist anti colonialism etc.#when i say I care i mean it. thats why i focus a lot on those that cant eat plant based or whose culture or religion needs animal use #in order for individual to feel connected #bc i want to learn outside my experiences and that has already helped form the veganism i talk about #i mean possible and practical. but talking to ppl non vegans especially has helped me elaborate on that and to hold complex views

Dairy intolerance =/= Lactose Intolerance

Dairy Intolerance =/= Lactose Intolerance

#stop telling me my child can eat things that are lactose free #it would be easier to call it dairy allergy but we haven’t confirmed via testing so #more than likely a continuation of her cow’s milk protein allergy in infancy

Danny needs a few...odd things. A few dietary and emotional requirements unique to his physiology. Meat is one of them.

But like, raw meat. He doesn't have to eat it often, maybe twice a month, but it does need to be completely raw.

He also needs to eat non-sentient blob ghosts, which are very different from sentient ones. Same amount, maybe twice a month.

He's weak to hot temperatures, where most humans require some sort of positive contact he needs to fight, if he gets too much sunlight his dopamine levels drop, and oddly enough as he got older milk or products with a lot of milk started to affect him like alcohol affects humans.

Now that he's made it to college, hiding most of these things is easy enough.

He chose Gotham, because of minimal sunny days and naturally cold weather. He regularly goes for walks at night, to fill his need for fighting. He says he has a milk allergy, and avoids milk products.

The blobs and the raw meat are a little uh. Those are a little hard.

He's taken to ducking into a bathroom stall to just swallow the blobs whole. But the meat...

He decides to sear the outside and leave the inside entirely raw. Does this detract from the nutrients by cooking them off? Yes. Does it mean he needs to eat raw meat four times a month instead of twice? Yes. Does it mostly hide that he's doing this in front of humans? Kind of.

Until he got a vegan roommate.

Said roommate is far too sharp-eyed for his own good, and now the guy is being weird.

Or: Damian's roommate is a meta who clearly has dietary restrictions outside the norm. It's fine; Damian understands that like animals in the wild, people have different diets. But the cuts of meat Fenton is eating are...subpar. Damian isn't sure how to be...civil, or appear polite, or not be a "snob" if he suggests Fenton allow him to procure farm fresh cuts of steak from cows raised in an open pasture and were well taken care of.

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #affect vs effect #i still have problems telling the difference #damians breaking point is when danny uses a toaster to lightly toast the outside of the meat and can't understand what's wrong #goes and calls jon and just #“have your parents recently hosted a slaughter? have any of their neighbors? jon please”#cuz the meat is like offbrand gotham walmart meat #kinda grayish and def not healthy for fenton #he has taken care of many animals and he can force fenton to eat healthy #in the realms frostbite feels a surge of satisfaction #he has no idea where it came from

SMA Althera: First-Line Relief for Cow's Milk Protein Allergy

Introduction: Welcome to the All Chemist, where we provide valuable information on healthcare and pharmaceutical products. In this article, we will explore SMA Althera, an extensively hydrolysed hypoallergenic infant formula designed to alleviate the symptoms of mild to moderate cow's milk protein allergy (CMA). Please note that Althera should be used under medical supervision and is suitable for infants from birth.

Understanding Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMA): Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMA) is a common condition that affects some infants. It occurs when the immune system reacts adversely to proteins found in cow's milk, leading to a range of symptoms such as colic, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin rashes. CMA can be distressing for both infants and parents, necessitating an appropriate solution to alleviate its effects.

Introducing SMA Althera: SMA Althera is an extensively hydrolysed hypoallergenic infant formula specifically developed to address the symptoms associated with mild to moderate CMA. This advanced formula undergoes a unique process known as extensive hydrolysis, which breaks down the proteins found in cow's milk into smaller, more easily digestible fragments. By doing so, Althera reduces the likelihood of triggering an allergic reaction while providing essential nutrients for healthy growth and development.

First-Line Relief for CMA Symptoms: Althera serves as a first-line solution for infants with CMA, providing relief from its symptoms. The extensively hydrolysed formula minimizes the presence of allergenic proteins, reducing the risk of adverse reactions in sensitive infants. By using Althera as directed by healthcare professionals, parents can effectively manage CMA and promote their baby's well-being.

Benefits of SMA Althera:

Nutritional Support: Althera is fortified with key nutrients required for proper growth and development, ensuring that infants receive adequate nourishment while avoiding allergenic proteins.

Easy Digestion: The extensively hydrolysed proteins in Althera are broken down into smaller fragments, making them easier for infants with CMA to digest and absorb.

Symptom Relief: Althera helps alleviate the symptoms associated with mild to moderate CMA, such as colic, vomiting, diarrhea, and skin rashes, providing relief to both infants and parents.

Suitable from Birth: Althera is safe for use from birth, allowing healthcare professionals to recommend it as an early intervention option for infants with suspected or diagnosed CMA.

Medical Supervision: It is important to note that Althera should only be used under medical supervision. Healthcare professionals can provide guidance on proper usage, dosage, and any necessary dietary adjustments.

Conclusion: SMA Althera is an extensively hydrolysed hypoallergenic infant formula designed to address the symptoms associated with mild to moderate cow's milk protein allergy (CMA). By opting for Althera under medical supervision, parents can provide their infants with relief from CMA symptoms while ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and development.

Always consult with healthcare professionals for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of CMA. At All Chemist, we are committed to supporting your family's health and well-being.

Jay Halstead- Allergies

When Jay asked me out on a date I was so worried he would take me to a restaurant, luckily he didn’t, instead we went just went to Mollys and had a drink. After how well our first date went Jay asked me on another, which meant I couldn’t hide my allergies from him anymore. Thankfully he understood and so once again we didn’t go out to eat.

Now here we are married with a 5 year old daughter who fortunately doesn’t have as manny allergies as I do, except for the fact she’s allergic to cows milk. Anything containing said product could send her into anaphylaxis, this is why we have many vegan products just to be on the safe side.

I sit at my desk opposite Jays as I fill out paperwork from my last arrest when my works phone rings

“YN Halstead”

“Mrs Halstead hello, this is Mr Martinez I’m calling you to let you know that I will need you or your husband to come and pick up Layla from school. She’s unfortunately been sick and says her chest hurts”

“Ok” I sigh looking at the clock on my computer 12:34, “I’ll come down and get her. Has she eaten anything at lunch?” I ask standing up. Jay then looks at me confused

“Yes, she didn’t say she felt ill, in fact she ate all of her lunch”

“What was it?”

“It was macaroni cheese, but I’m not sure what Layla had instead. I’ll find out from the cook and let you know what it was when you arrive”

“Ok I’ll be about 15 minutes” I sigh putting the phone down

“Everything ok?”

“Laylas been sick, I’ll go and get her, you think Voight will let me bring her back here?”

“Never had a problem with it before. I’ll come with you” Jay says getting up “go get the car ready and I’ll let Voight know”

We arrive at the school, but as we park up there’s an ambulance with blue lights flashing. Quickly we get out of the car and rush into the reception area

“Oh thank goodness Mr and Mrs Halstead your here” the receptionist walks round her desk to us “please follow me”

“What’s going on?” Jay says worriedly

“After Mr Martinez rang you he spoke to the cook. They’re new and turns out that she gave Layla the macaroni cheese”

“What?!” My eyes widen and panic sets in

“She was given her epipen and we phoned an ambulance. She’s in here” we head into a room where I see my best friend Sylvie sat next to mine and Jays daughter

“Momma!” Layla yells crying

“It’s ok momma and daddy are here”

“Why the hell did the cook give my daughter something she’s allergic to? Do you not have a list of all the childrens allergies?”

“Of course we do Mr Halstead, but as this cook was new she didn’t know their allergies”

“How did she not know? Surly she would have see then list?”

“She never come to the office to get it” the receptionist states

“Then why didn’t you take it to her?” I shout

“I understand your both upset, but I have to remind you that we are still at a school” the headteacher now walks in

“And how are you going to make this better Hm?” Jay asks crossing his arms

“We have asked that she go to an allergen awareness course, and we will be making a list to stay in the kitchen”

“YN, Jay? Layla is ready to move to hospital. You know the drill”

“Yeah course. Babe let’s go” Jay sighs at Sylvie “but this isn’t over. I want to know how your going to prevent this from happening again”

Jay and I head to the hospital where we’re told that Layla will be ok but no school for her for the rest of the week.

Southern Colloquialisms To Enrage ESL Bloggers:

I see a few posts asking international and other tumblr bloggers to supply the literal English translations to common colloquial phrases for the sake of the sheer silliness, strangeness, and outright lunacy of what happens when you take a colloquialism and take it literally (Factoid: linguists refer to this process as “Pidgin”)

But what about Southern colloquialisms from the United States that don’t even make sense in their native language? Hello! My great-great grandmother was born in a ditch outside of a mud house with mud floors in the Dust Bowl in the United States and I didn’t know I had a Southern accent until my friends in the Pacific Northwest pointed it out!

I have relatives from all along the Bible Belt, aka the “Old South” that, you know... Yeah. A few of my cousins are awesome people and we trade notes over ridiculous phrases our relatives and elders used that we never understood, but accepted on a spiritual level. Here are some I grew up with:

“Got myself a short cold.” - “I have seasonal allergies and just mowed the lawn.”

“Oh, crap and molasses!” - “I forgot something at home and we’re already almost to our destination and I don’t want to swear in front of polite company and small children.”

“Eating high on the hog tonight!” - “We’re not eating scrap cuts and offal for dinner because steaks were 2-for-1 today.”

“Hoecake” - A form of pancake or “Johnny Cake” made from corn meal instead of flour. They’re delicious.

“Catawampus” or “Cattywampus” - “I’m gonna have to wash that off the ceiling but at least it worked. It’s messy.”

“Piddling” and “Piddly” - Any worthless or time-wasting endeavor or result that helps no one. “This paycheck is plum piddly, hoss. Quit piddlin’ ‘round and gimme that re-GI-nal manager’s job y’all know I’m qualified for.”

“Hoss” - “Boss” that you also think could probably beat the crap out of you behind an alley for catching you cheating at pool.

“That boy’s bigger’n a brick shithouse.” - “Your physique and muscular stature is intimidating to the degree that I am complimenting you by comparing you to a solid structure everyone would regret trying to knock down.”

“Crazier’n a shithouse rat.” - “Dude, please talk to a psychiatrist.”

“Doohickey” - Any object or concept you can’t remember the name of but need urgently. Often accompanied by aggressive hand waving in the approximate direction of said object without actually looking at it.

“Y’all better hush up back there!” - Your grandmother’s polite way of warning you she’s going to take a flyswatter to your ass if you don’t shut the fuck up in Church.

“Y’all’d’ve” - A real contraction I can’t even stop myself from using meaning “You all should/would have” and am leaving here just for the English majors out there.

“Dude” - A completely urbanized individual who has no idea how to live or function in a rural or wild setting without technology and utilities and can’t ride a horse or milk a cow.

“Proudboy” - Oh yes, it was already a thing. In Southern slang, a “Proudboy” is a neutered male horse that still acts like he’s a badass stallion the mares will want to mate with. “Poor proudboy ain’t noticed yet, bless his heart.”

“Bless his/hers/your heart.” - “Because the Good Lord sure didn’t bless your head.” It’s also used as a heartfelt form of “Thank you” when someone goes out of their way to offer you a kind and thoughtful gesture. Context is important.

“Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.” - “You are no longer welcome in this space and if you don’t leave now I’m literally going to slam the door on your ass.”

“Living in high cotton” - “I have achieved fiscal success and am using a colloquial term to refer to it without considering the fact that the term originated out of slave plantations.”

“If the creek don’t rise.” - Basically “Knock on wood.” A term meaning, “I’ve prepared for everything but what I can’t prepare for or anticipate and will achieve my goal so long as it is within my power to do it.” Bonus points if you pronounce “creek” as “crick”.

“Fixin’ to” - Another polite way of indicating you’re about to aggressively undertake a task. “I’m fixin’ to whip ya ass, son.” This is not to be confused with “Fixin’s” singular, which refers to the ingredients or catalysts required to cook or complete something that requires assembly.

“Doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.” - A hill of beans is a Southern unit of measurement for anything that remains worthless regardless of how much of it you have, much like NFTs. “Your anti-TERF ‘sources’ don’t amount to a hill of beans, proudboy.”

“(Way) Over yonder” - “It’s over there, and the number of times I repeat the word ‘way’ prior to ‘over’ is indicative of how much yonder is between you and there. Sorry, what’s a yonder? You just asked me to show you! It’s way, way over there! Bless your heart...”

“Madder than a wet hen.” - “Oops, you have reached ‘yikes’ level of pissed off. Better skedaddle!”

“Skedaddle” - “RUN AWAY FAST NOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

“It’s blowin’ up a storm.” - The sensory indicators of an oncoming heavy storm or hurricane that presents with the smell of ozone, high humidity, and an abrupt drop in temperature. Yes, it’s a thing; I can also smell when a storm’s gathering and it is a distinct set of very subtle odors.

“Pretty as a peach.” - “That individual whose pronouns are irrelevant but is most commonly a woman or proud of rocking a femme aesthetic is exceptionally beautiful and I admire them.”

“Busy as a cat on a hot tin roof.” - “We’re overburdened and understaffed to the point that I am numb to all forms of communication that don’t involve someone being on fire.”

“Aren’t you precious.” - Not a question unless it begins with “Well,”. Depending on tone, it either is a high compliment toward someone’s appearance or behavior being exceptional, or as a sarcastic response to when someone says something insulting to you. “Awww, you’re so sweet, baby sister!” vs. “That insult was just adorable.”

“Yes Sir/Ma’am/Mx” - Also applies to “No”. Answering a question with “Sir”, “Ma’am”, or “Mx” to someone that is your age or older is just considered universally respectful in polite conversation. If a Southern person suddenly stops answering your questions with your preferred pronouns or never does at all, it probably means they have 0 respect for you. When the small niceties disappear, you’ve fucked up.

“Frunchard” - “Front yard”, the opposite of the back yard.

“Quit being ugly.” - “Stop being an asshole.”

“He thinks the sun comes up just to hear him crow.” - “You’re so stupidly full of yourself you’d probably honestly believe the sun rises and sets just for you.”

“That dog won’t hunt.” - “I know you believe it’s a good idea, but uh... it’s not.” Also used in place of replying to a person’s excuse you know is 100% bullshit.

“Well, I declare...” - “I am about to obliquely reveal broad adjectives reflective of my emotional state or opinion about this state of affairs and you should probably prepare yourself for more nonsensical colloquialisms.”

“My eyeballs are floating.” - “I need to pee so badly it isn’t going to be an option very, very soon.”

“Can’t never could.” - “Can’t never could do nothing!” That’s... that’s literally it. I can’t elaborate any more than saying it’s a term indicating you’re feeling optimistic.

“Give him two nickels for a dime and he’ll think he’s rich.” - “This person’s stupidity is physically painful to experience.”

“That makes me wanna slap my mama!” - “I am so impressed/pleased with that experience that we’ve circled around to domestic violence somehow.”

“You could start an argument in an empty house.” - “Go to anger management classes.”

“Ain’t got the good sense God gave a rock.” - “I cannot fathom this level of lack of common sense and forethought and require divine intervention immediately.”

“Slicker than pig snot on a radiator.” - “That person is the Webster’s definition of a scumbag.”

“About as useless as a screen door on a submarine.” - I think that one is pretty self-explanatory.

“There’s not a pot too crooked that a lid won’t fix.” - “There’s someone out there for everyone. Don’t give up on finding love and companionship just because you’re different.”

What if the diasomnia boys heard their handler admit they prefer almond milk over hucow milk along with their handler admitting that they’re not allergic thus only liking it because of the taste? What if they know their handler tried their milk before? Would they get jealous?

cw: hybrids(hucows), male lactation

malleus:

I mentioned this in a batch of hcs I have yet to finish and post so ill say it here too: I imagine malleus being the type to be very close to his handler and follow them around even during non work related tasks. So he would have noticed early into your employment how you have almond milk with your cereal in the morning and never eat things like yogurt or sour cream.

though it not being an allergy and simply a preference was a bit surprising to him. ESPECIALLY if you had tried some of his before knowing you have an unlimited supply right in front of you. maybe, he proposes, its just because you tasted it from a cold glass and not warm and right from the source. but that's an easy fix and he doesn't at all mind.

lilia:

really? you prefer that over his own? that he produces so lovingly? he couldn't possibly understand why. surely something so heavily processed and watery couldn't taste half as good as his rich and subtly sweet milk but whatever suits your preference. it's not as if he's jealous or anything of the sort that would be silly.

just don't be surprised when your almond milk cartons turn up missing the day after you bought them and replaced by a glass jar full of pink tinted milk and a little bat sticker for a seal.

silver:

honestly? probably the most normal about it. he's just genuinely curious as to why and how. he knows of people that will come half way across the country to have just a taste of the milk produced by the cows of this farm and you have access to it for free and don't really care all that much? strange. would probably just ask you to try some of it for himself, down the glass with a hum, think about it for a second and then never bring it up again.

sebek:

why would you tell him that? like actually he's never going to stop pestering you about it until you change your mind. sure you've tried his and silvers milk but maybe it's because you never had anything made by malleus and that's why! yes it must be.

good luck getting him off your back

#twst #hybrid au!#lilia vanrouge x reader #malleus x reader #sebek x reader #silver twst x reader #ask!#wrk!#hcs!

I understand you milk likers now. I no longer find you abhorrent. Cow's milk had made me incredibly ill since I was a kid, like to "worried about failure to thrive" levels, and so I have always been "lactose intolerant" but it turns out that was my gallbladder. For 36 years. Which went unchecked because we assumed it was a food allergy that's common in people. But now dairy no longer makes me feel like the devil has my small intestine in a vice grip and all I do, all day. All day. Is drink my fun little espresso shot with a bunch of frothed milk. And my god. Lord in heaven. You motherfuckers don't know how good you've had it on this wretched stain of a planet

#GOD warm milk is GOOD #it tastes so BUTTERY so RICH so FULL #HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS? FOREVER? IS THIS WHAT MILK IS WHEN IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE DEATH

I just saw a post on life pro tips asking how to wake up when you want to instead of sleeping through the alarm or hitting snooze a bunch of times, and was seriously unimpressed by the answers, so in addition to posting there, I'm going to post here.

For reference, I've had to change my sleep schedule several times in my life because of things like milking the cow when I was a kid or being a teacher, though most of these "tips" I learned in the process of helping my spouse who is insomniac to the point that there's no recognizable circadian rhythm. We also both have ADHD, so yeah, definitely understand why this is so hard to do, but it makes such a huge difference. And, as always, what works for me might not work for you, these are just what we've found helpful.

1. Read up on circadian rhythms, because that's what 90% of this is about. Our society really messes with circadian rhythms and makes getting good sleep stupid hard.

2. Figure out when you want to wake up. Figure out how long you think you need to sleep. Add an hour, and subtract from your wake time. So say you need to be up at 5:45. And you think you need 8 hours. So give it 9 hours. Well, congrats, you now get a bed time of 8:45. (Is possible that you don't need this much, so if you find yourself waking up before you need to, congratulations! You can stay up later. Woo!)

3. Go to bed, and get up, at the same. time. every. day. This sucks but makes getting up when you have to do so much easier.

4. Now for the hard part (ha). Stop eating a few hours before your bed time (ideally). No midnight snacking, eat enough during the day so you're not hungry. Stop looking at your phone or other electronics an hour before bedtime. Don't do vigorous exercise in the evening. Drink a cup of two of water (with non-caloric* electrolytes if you have trouble waking up in the middle of the night because you have to pee) before bed.

5. Eat asap, at least a little, when you wake up. Even just a bite will get your circadian rhythm going. I know some people have a hard time in the morning, but if you're consistent, it'll get easier.

6. These two cost money, but are worth it if you have to wake up before the sun or if you struggle: get a dawn simulator alarm clock (life-fucking-changing when I was a teacher and had to get up way before dawn) and one of those lamps for seasonal affective disorder. Use the S.A.D. lamp early in the morning to, again, convince your circadian rhythm that you should be awake.

7. Get some movement in daily if possible. Like, a walk. Dancing in the kitchen. Whatever physical activity you can do healthfully.

8. During the day, practice getting out of bed when you hear the alarm. Like, literally, get in bed, set your alarm to go off in life 3 minutes, act asleep, and then get up when the alarm goes off. Train yourself like a dog. I know it sounds goofy, but my spouse says it helps. I didn't come up with this one, btw. Don't blame me.

9. If you have allergies that effect your breathing, consider running an airfilter at night. Helps me snore less and helps him not hear it as much :p

10. Make sure your room is dark, cool, and quiet.

11. If you do all this and still struggle... see a doctor if you can. Sorry.

*non-caloric because of your circadian rhythm, not because of diet culture. I use a bit of salt, because it does the job and it's cheap.
