must haves before going to sleep every night?

[Gordonson]

Sidenote, anyone here actually go to bed but take an hour or so before you fall asleep? Random thoughts ftl

3+ hours lol, hence why I have sleeping medication at only 19 years old. In another bed I straight up don't fall asleep at all.

This usually, minus the sleeping medication.

My must haves:

Water
Chapstick
My Phone with an alarm set
Complete darkness preferably
No socks depending on how hot it is.

Why do you all watch TV and go on the computer before going to bed? You're just setting yourselves back in terms of sleep quality.

I'm usually not tired unless I've done a lot in the daytime so I browse until I get tired, plus my sleep schedule is Fcked.

My must have is:
Bottle of water
TV on timer
Room is cool

Think I have insomnia sometimes though, just be up thinking about life like I don't have school in a couple hours.

Whats the science on setting the timer on the television? Do you watch it till it turns off so as to meter yourself? Or because it helps you fall to sleep?

Helps me fall asleep, I like hearing the tv just on volume 1. Plus my parents hate it when I used to leave it on all night. With that, i'm off. Peace NT.

Take a piss
Remove all clothing except boxers and ball shorts
Drink some chocolate milk or hot chocolate in the winter
Set alarm
Proceed to sleep.


Side note, I've gotten so used to my bed falling asleep anywhere else is a hassle. I've had 12 hour flights where I was in desperate need of a nap but couldn't sleep. Also hotels are a struggle for me too
