Explained what a surface nap (my definition of what I’ve always called it) to my sis and gf a bit ago. Halfway through explaining it I was all ‘Bam this is so simple why you explaining it??’ And then Babe and Sis weee like ‘???????’

Anyway. Turns out that might have been an autistic superpower.

You know how some picky eaters can tell when you change a single ingredient out of hundreds in a safe-food. Yeah, I’m not that, but I’m like that. But only with my sleeping situation.

I sleep with two comforters, 7 pillows minimum, sometimes a fuzzy blanket or two, sometimes a squishmallow propping up an arm, never on my stomach, and with two (not one; but two) of those ear muffs you buy that’s a headband??? Yeah I get two of those, put them on my head and it covers both my ears and eyes to muffle sound and block all light. It’s important to have both pressure and muffling. These are only the physical requirements to being able to sleep lol I’m so picky as a whole.

Anyways. How do I take a surface nap? I take the comforters, lay them over top the 3 (yes, three, all condensed into one pillowcase) pillows that I always stick under my knees (alleviates back pain for my messed up spine) and lay on top of all of it, comforters included.

So what do I cover myself with? A fuzzy blanket (actually two, one on my legs and one on my body so I can ditch one half and keep the other at any point) and my regular sleep mask.

Because. I fucking know if my legs are higher than normal, and my blankets aren’t smooth. I fucking KNOW.

Why does this create a surface nap experience? Because I am literally incapable of not thinking about it, even in my sleep. I literally dreamt of Fuzzy World while I tried to find out why things were fuzzy and no longer smooth. My brain did NOT let that go. This means your brain won’t be deep at all if you have to wake up in less than 2 hours off of 21 awake already.

Also change your alarm tone to a song already!!!! Not a loud one, but like a super soft one, it’ll take your brain a few seconds to catch up that it’s a song and then you’re all ‘wait, what?’ This probably doesn’t work if your a clubber or something idk y’all fuck up your ears too much.

I went from solidly asleep to fully awake in less than 4 minutes. That’s impressive for me.

I have now consulted 3 whole people and they said this method is batshit I’m dead 😭😭😭 I thought I was stupidly explaining a well known idea lmao

Okay here you go for those of you who physically cannot sleep for less than 4 hours without intervention like me (insomnia and fatigue mixture is a wild ass crackhead cocktail) and are sensitive to your surroundings while sleeping.

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

#this is just me ranting sorry #im very tired and hungry #and i want to sleep but brain go brrrrr #well i used to be nice and smart and now im neither of those or however the song goes #pretty sure he was exaggerating cause looking back. it was good. but some of the wording was a lil wonky #adhd #actually adhd #executive dysfunction #actually neurodiverse #adhd paralysis #adult adhd #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #adhd hacks #academia #neurodivergent #adhd skill regression #confessions of a burnt out gifted kid #<< i guess #former gifted kid #burnt out gifted kid #gifted kid burnout #realizing i sound rly pretentious here sorry -- formal speech patterns i picked up as an autistic child and never put down again haha

Horror movie fans are so funny because you'll bring up the biggest actor who's in 10,000 iconic roles, and they'll go, "Oh, the guy from Blood Burger 4: Keep Flipping." and that's the only thing on their filmography that they've seen.

8 Expert Sleep Hacks to Try Tonight for a Better Night's Rest

<h1>8 Expert Tips for Getting a Good Night's Rest</h1> <p>If you want to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day, it's important to make sleep a priority. Getting enough zzz's has all sorts of benefits for your mood, focus, health, and more. But sometimes it can be tough to shut off your busy brain at bedtime. Don't sweat it - with these expert-approved tricks, you'll be snoozing soundly in no time.</p> <h2>Don't Stress About Hours Slept</h2> <p>How much sleep you need can vary from person to person. Teens usually require more sleep than adults. Rather than stressing over hitting 8 hours on the dot, focus on listening to your body. Aim for whatever amount of sleep leaves you feeling rested and energized come morning. As long as you avoid regular short nights, don't force extra time in bed if you're just tossing and turning. </p> <h2>Wind Down Before Bed</h2> <p>Your brain and body need time to transition from "go" to "whoa." At least 30 minutes before lights out, stop intense workouts, meals, or phone/screen time. Instead, do something relaxing like taking a warm bath, reading, writing in a journal, or light stretches. Listening to soothing tunes or a meditation app are also great natural calming techniques.</p> <h2>Make Your Bedroom R&R Central</h2> <p> Create a sleep sanctuary that's dark, cool, and clutter-free. Blackout shades or thick curtains are key for blocking early morning sun. Use a sound machine or white noise app if outside noises distract you. Optimize comfort too with cozy sheets, a supportive mattress and pillows. Your bedroom is for sleeping and relaxing - leave stress at the door!</p> <h2>Watch Your Diet and Exercise</h2> <p>What and when you eat can affect your sleep. Avoid heavy meals, spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol before bed, which can disrupt rest. Some light physical activity during the day tuckers you out naturally. But save high-intensity workouts for earlier as they may leave you too energized to drift off.</p> <h2>Try a Bedtime Routine</h2> <p>Having a consistent sleep schedule and pre-bedtime routine signal to your brain that it's time to wind down. Even on weekends, stick close to your regular bedtime. A few relaxing activities like a warm bath, reading or light stretches will program your body for bed.</p> <h2>Limit Daytime Naps</h2> <p>Daytime snoozing is great if you're drowsy, but long or late naps can disrupt nighttime slumber. Limit naps to 20-30 minutes if you need one and avoid them altogether within 6 hours of bedtime.</p> <h2>Make Your Bedroom Phone-Free</h2> <p>The blue light from phones, tablets, TV and computers suppresses melatonin and can delay sleep onset. Power down devices at least 30 mins before lights out. You'll drift off easier without stimulating distraction.</p> <h2>Relax With Calming Activity</h2> <p> When worries creep in, counter them by doing something that helps calm your mind, like reading, gentle yoga or meditation. Taking deep breaths or visualizing a relaxing scene can train your body and brain to unwind naturally each night for better sleep. With practice, you're sure to get your zzz's on track.</p>

Getting a Good Night’s Sleep: 10 Products to Help You Rest Better

My personal journey to better sleep Photo by Anna Nekrashevich on Pexels.com I used to be a terrible sleeper. I would toss and turn all night long, and I would often wake up feeling tired and unrefreshed. I tried a number of different things to improve my sleep, but nothing seemed to work. Then, one day, I read about weighted blankets. I had never heard of them before, but I was intrigued. I…

ghouls have fur and toe beans

that means they probably clean the spaces in between their toes like cats do

ghouls groom themselves and each other to bond and for comfort

that means there will be hair balls

can you imagine you're a sibling sneaking through the ministry at night and hear the typical cat hacking sound only to see swiss on all fours on the ground, his body doing the 🦗🦟🦗🦟🦗 , dry heaving and hurling up a huge hair ball

after that he just scurries off and you're left in the dark hallway with a hairball the size of a golf ball

the best night routines start in the morning

tips from an anxious psychology student who loves sleep 💤

🌅 todos whenever you wake up:

our brains are wired to notice contrast, so take this time to show your brain what it's like to be awake! the more you wake up, the more you can wind down later~ some suggestions:

wash your face

brush your teeth

eat something!! (then take your supplements, don't take them on an empty stomach)

make your bed (for max freshness when you go back to sleep though, i recommend you leave your bed to air for at least a few hours)

☀️ todos throughout the day:

now our goal is to tire ourselves out enough so that we can have happy sleeps later! we need to focus on both the mental and physical aspects of this. some suggestions:

exercise

learn something new

get sunlight (no, vitamin D doesn't count, although you should be taking your required supplements)

experience an emotional rollercoaster (not exactly recommended as it may backfire in the form of keeping you awake with a spiral of uncontrollable thoughts)

🎑 todos before bed:

the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived! while going to bed at a regular time helps with conditioning yourself to fall asleep, sometimes that's just not possible, so here are some other suggestions:

check your wake up alarms (are they set for the latest possible time? do you actually need an alarm?)

lie down in the dark while having a nonsensical conversation with yourself (our brains automatically tune out stuff that don't make sense, so trick your brain into tuning itself out — especially helpful in the event of an emotional rollercoaster kind of day)

use a comfortable sleep mask (blocks out all light even from peripheries but still allows you to breathe comfortably, isn't too tight around the head)

earbuds make pretty good earplugs or you can play white noise/soothing music/etc. to block out louder noises

feel free to add your own suggestions in the reblogs/comments~ sweet dreams! 🛌
