Shoutout to my friend who watched me go from “I feel like I’m going to throw up” to “I think I’m going to have an anxiety attack” to actively hyperventilating on the floor in the space of 1 (one) minute and somehow responded effectively.
Significantly less of a shoutout to my body for APPARENTLY having the exact same physical cues for both “going to pass out from low blood sugar/dehydration” and an anxiety attack

I've always struggled with sleep. Recently, I started avoiding electric lighting as much as comfortably feasible the last couple hours before bed time. I use candles instead.
Candles lighting up the bathroom while I take my shower, wash my face and brush my teeth.
Candles in the living room, even if I might still watch a bit of TV or be on my phone (and with my phone I apply blue light filter).
Candle lit hallway connecting my bathroom, living room and bedroom.
Candles on my night stand instead on a night light. Reading is a bit more difficult (and potentially more dangerous than using a lamp) while holding a candle between myself and the book to read it, but reading fantasy works in candle light just feels more magical than doing so under a lamp.
I've never had an easier time not just falling asleep but falling asleep early enough for me to get enough sleep during the night.

He sh*t in the bath today. I was sitting 2 feet away reading while he poured water from one cup to another, everything hunky-dory... and then I looked up to find a giant turd in the bottom of the tub 😭😭😭
