    I got really good at timing my meds so that the crash (never use XR) would match bed time.

      Astoundingly, going to sleep is the only thing I’ve never had much of an issue with. Staying asleep is something else but I’m usually unconscious in 5 minutes. I just start daydreaming about something random (like flaying Netanyahu on a public stage or throwing Putin into the sun with Superman strength or plucking the eyelids off of Trump… nothing specific) and I’m out pretty quick. I think maybe it’s the NSA trying to stop me planning.

        I didn’t back then but eventually I messed with my sleep.schedule so much that I developed that type of insomnia. At my worst I would sleep 90 minutes in a 24 hour period. Within two weeks you are not the same person. Literally insane. I fixed it by eating a piece of plain tofu and a microdose of delta-8 (not 9, 10, or weed) right before laying my head down to sleep. Now I get 5-6 hours, which is nice.

          Hey, if it works it works. I get that level of insomnia though. I started to develop it somewhat recently and had to forcibly fix it and fight against it. The weird part for me was that my brain wasn’t getting tired but my body was fucked.
