alright here goes my exhaustive list of stuff that goes into my preworkout! i love to research the stuff that works, and then experiment to see how effectively they work for me, especially on keto.

1. 1 scoop of pre jym from bodybuilding.com - just because i don't want to add all those ingredients (good compared to most) on my own and it tastes pretty good (raspberry lemonade). it does, however, have 4g carbs per scoop - https://www.bodybuilding.com/store/jym/pre-jym.html
   
   
   
2. 1/2 scoop of optimum nutrition hydrowhey protein powder (about 15g protein) - fast digesting preworkout protein seems more logical than just bcaas. keeps me satiated during my workout and seems to boost recovery times because i have the full gamut of proper amino acids in my bloodstream as exercise-induced insulin rises. turbo chocolate and chocolate peanut butter are my favorites. vanilla surprisingly sucks and gets very foamy - https://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/platinum_hydrowhey.html
   
   
   
3. 1 tsp curcumin powder from bulk supplements - expensive but 1kg lasts a long time - go to examine.com to see the dozens of benefits it has across the board. i use this to help alleviate my disc issues, but it feels great for workouts because it reduces inflammation everywhere, especially joints. you can get pills instead, but they're not as cost effective and i like to blend it into my shakes. MAKE SURE YOU PAIR IT WITH BIOPERINE (already in pre jym but super cheap anyway) OR GET THE BIO AVAILABLE TYPES. otherwise, only your gut will get the benefits -
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GHY364A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
4. 1 digestive enzyme pill - research has shown that such enzymes not only help with what you'd expect, digestion, but also boost muscle synthesis, immune system, reduce soreness, etc. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RH5K26I/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   
   
5. 1 tbsp extra citrulline malate - because 1 scoop of pre-jym doesn't have the clinical dose of around 8g. research has shown that it reduces soreness and speeds up muscle repair. i believe it helps performance as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EYDJU50/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
6. EDIT: 1/2 tsp (not 2 tsp) extra beta alanine - because 1 scoop of pre-jym doesn't have enough. this stuff kinda acts like creatine, boosting the number of reps you can do. especially helpful on my high rep/speed days. great for crossfit types of workouts if you're into those. i like the tingly feeling as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EIO4I8E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
7. 1/2 tsp potassium citrate - i take electrolytes before and during my workouts -
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ENSA93S/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
8. 1/16 tsp magnesium glycinate - one of the most bioavailable forms of mg and doesn't mess up your digestion -
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F7OZJR8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
9. 1/2 tsp calcium citrate - Ca and Mg go well together in the body. also, multivitamins rarely hit the RDA for calcium -
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F8I5XPG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
   
10. 1/2 tsp pink salt - sodium! need lots of it because i sweat a lot - https://www.samsclub.com/sams/himalayan-pink-salt-5-lb-fine-grain/prod20131268.ip
    
    
    
11. 1/4 tsp vitamin c - i take a lot of vit C to help with disc healing. collagen synthesis requires vit C. of course, great anti-oxidant, great for skin, etc. -
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AYIM9Y8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    
    
    
12. 1/2 tsp ALCAR - i supplement this mostly for the nootropic effect (boosts the brain and concentration), but it supposedly helps with fat breakdown and energy a little bit. i feel razor sharp concentrated during my workouts with this. also, it's just plain old good for the brain. -
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E7H96DY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
    
    
    
13. 200 mg L-theanine - smooths out the jittery feeling from caffeine to provide more stable energy. also good before bed to get higher quality of sleep. -
    https://www.amazon.com/BulkSupplements-Pure-L-Theanine-Powder-grams/dp/B00E7GESLA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492089341&sr=8-1&keywords=bulk%2Bl-theanine&th=1
    
    
    
14. 100mg pill RALA - good for the nervous system and energy - https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Stabilized-R-Lipoic-BioEnhanced/dp/B000I4C19G/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492089382&sr=8-1&keywords=doctor%27s+best+rala
    
    
    
15. 200mg coq10 - good for the heart, boosts energy a bit - https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Absorption-Bioperine-Supplement/dp/B00HRGN36S/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492089466&sr=8-2&keywords=doctor%27s%2Bbest%2Bcoenzyme%2Bq10&th=1
    
    
    
16. 320mg saw palmetto extract pill - good for men's prostate health, keeps good testosterone high (instead of DHT), and for me, prevents the hairloss that creatine (i think) has induced. not just bs bro science, go to examine.com for research. i personally have regrown a lot of hair by taking 2-3 three of these a day for the last three months! - https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Palmetto-Softgels-Count/dp/B006RQ6TAG/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492092375&sr=8-1&keywords=doctor%27s+best+saw+palmetto
    
    
    
17. 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder - keeps my digestion on track, prevents the indigestion i tend to get from MCT oil - https://www.amazon.com/Bulksupplements-Pure-Psyllium-Powder-grams/dp/B0100QRXOO/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1492092483&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=psyllium%2Bhusk%2Bpowder&th=1
    
    
    
18. 10g MCT oil - i either use brain octane or miCkey T Eight because they are pure C-8 caprylic acid instead of blends of the crappier acids. definitely boosts energy during long workouts. careful, it tends to mess with your stomach if you don't ease into it. if you're good with coconut oil, you're probably good with this. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RUCHISS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    
    
    
19. 100mg hyaluronic acid - helps with joints and skin. i have noticed my knee and elbow pain going away while taking this. skin complexion also improved. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00663G8WO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    
    
    currently experimenting with:
    
    
    
20. clear muscle - i usually supplement HMB, but this is the newer liquid variant. its pricey, and i haven't noticed anything bad about it, but it's hard to say if it's working better than the much cheaper powdered HMB. studies are probably very biased, so i can't really trust them - https://www.amazon.com/MuscleTech-Advanced-Strength-Building-Capsules/dp/B00JQ3WXS4/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492094034&sr=8-1&keywords=clear+muscle
    
    
    
21. phospha muscle - phosphatidic acid has shown some promise in studies, but again, probably biased research. also cannot tell yet, but i have seen some decent strength gains pairing this with clear muscle. we'll see! - https://www.amazon.com/MuscleTech-Phospha-Clinically-Phosphatidic-SoftGels/dp/B00UVAG1PM/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492094155&sr=8-1&keywords=phospha+muscle
    
    
    phew! making this list made me realize how much time and effort i put into the trial and error of my preworkout. of course, i supplement a lot of this stuff with my other meals as well. as you can see, i'm very big on supplements, biohacking, and nootropics. i read up a lot on research in my spare time.

Hello 💙 might sound weird but this salt lamp would help me relax 💖 they clean the air and I feel like that would help me stay calm in my home 💙

I also have this essential oil diffuser on my random wants list that would help me relax by releasing calming scents into the air 😍😍

The last thing I have is a sound machine on my list that I would love because I need sound to fall asleep, but the TV is distracting, plus the light keeps me up. This would allow me to fall asleep to sound, without the light 💖

Good luck with your surgery 💖 I would take a good book with you to read if that's your thing 💙

Thanks for the contest 😊😊

CarlieScion (8): A solid closer

CarlyRaeJepsensBitch (8): A great album closer, but the one song on the album where Kesha's voice is a bit grating

DoctorWhoWhenHowWhy (8): This song is longer than it needed to be but this is an excellent song to close the album. It's so heartfelt and you can tell her passion of aliens in this song.

ignitethephoenix (8): Love the country vibe this has mixed in. Also love the random spaceship noises at the end!

ImADudeDuh (8): A fine enough closer, but still a weaker track on the album.

MashLuke (8): nothing to say, just a cute song

melodyllic_ (8): the spoken word section is amazing and makes this a great closer to the album. queen of dematerialising into nothing

Nerdy_boy_chris (8): I would've given this a higher score, but the outdo runs a bit longer

VeganSquash (8): great spoken outro

crowlily (7.8): I like this! I'm not saying much rip but this is great! The guitar sounds great! The spoken bridge! I love the whole mood! I'm nothing more than recycled stardust!!!

deadspiderwall (7.8): Kesha is more country than Taylor Swift ever was, holy shit

robbiec_ (7.5): CANNOT put my finger on what old song this reminds me of. Also love when she says "and I know nothing" and the ship takes off among the perfectly subtle choir

stardustanddinos (7.5): It stretches a little longer than it should, but is a perfect closer. Sometimes you just want to not live on this planet anymore, and yeah, she bottles that into a song too. Wonder how she does it so well, this is really impressive. The ending is just unsettling and haunting. Well fucking done.

ClocktowerMaria (7): Pretty good too

patronsaintofaspies (7): Yeah, sorry, this is sad, but Kanye did this better. Kesha's statement at the end is actually kind of depressing, though, and I'm certainly not complaining about this being the closer.

SkyBlade79 (7): not bad, a bit long but doesn't feel like it drags

thetimidmartian (7): kesha closes on an appropriate note that supports her tenets of hope and defiance.

vayyiqra (7): good but enough country

wanderingimpromptu3 (7): "Don't lay me down with the dirt on my head" is such a beautiful line. I really love the message of the song & identify with it. I do think it goes too long though and the outro is cheesy

Alien Haters

twat_brained (6.2): This one is quite long and it feels long too. Also I understand the song's outro but it still doesn't feel necessary.

izeasklapaucius (6): The concept is interesting but the execution kinda falls flat for closing track.

ThatParanoidPenguin (6): https://www.amazon.com/ZzzQuil-Nighttime-Sleep-LiquiCaps-Package/dp/B007MB60CC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1518379133&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=sleeping+pills&psc=1

topesmachine (6): this song is really weird and it kinda works, kinda doesn't

dirdbub (5.5): cute enough

acedino (5): Usually end up skipping this song after the first chorus

hikkaru (5): gotta blast

Glennishill (4): I hate the instrumentation but I like the lyrics. Not a fan of the knock-off Bowie ending.

kappyko (4): Haha Kesha what

Elitefourbrad (3): I don't really understand how this album relates to Spaceships but okay.

itsboogiepanda (3): Latter half of Rainbow really hasn't impressed me

letsallpoo (3): i wanna go hoooOOOOoooOOOOOooome

MrSwearword (1): do UFOs run on ethanol? this spaceship is cornfed as fuck

Piccprincess (1): when i heard the ending of this song a UFO flew over my house and abducted my family

SendMeYourSATScores (1): i just remembered why i didnt like this album

Congratulations.

Though I'm not a parent myself, I work for a high end newborn photographer so I'll just give you tips on my observations.

• Swaddle tight with stretchy materials and hold the arms down to the sides when swaddling
  
  
• if mom is nursing, stay away from gassy vegetables and acidic foods as well. From our experience when the mom eats these things the baby is miserable the next day because of gas. We basically just recommend a boring bland diet. Only for the first few weeks though. After the first 3 or 4 weeks and then its usually ok. Every baby will be different so your mileage may vary. But from our experience 99% of the time we have cranky crying babies for the whole session is because mom had like spicy food or something else. Rule of thumb for us basically if the food has the potential to make your stomach uncomfortable sometimes then it might make baby uncomfortable as well
  
  
• Get a yoga ball. trying to sooth baby, hold baby with head to your heart, sit on ball and start bouncing gently. Get yoga socks too if you have slippery floors.
  
  
• diaper rash. Use huggies or honest brand. 9 out of 10 babies that come in with a rash are using pampers. Kirkland brand wipes from costco are great too. Our studio is stocked with huge packs of them.
  
  
• Formulas. I'm not sure on the brands for this but don't go out buying huge amounts right away because some babies might not like them very much. Might make them gassy too so you may have to try a few brands before you land on the one that is right. There are also ones for sensitive stomachs ( more expensive though)
  
  
• get a baby shusher or white noise, either this or this one, we use both in our studio.
  
  
• get chux from amazon (basically look like puppy pads but are not scented or no chemicals) you'll probably seem them at the hospital. use them on your changing table, keep a few in your car. everywhere really so that where ever you are you can change baby an hopefully avoid soiling a bed/car/couch etc.
  
• newborn size clothes is often too big for actual newborns
  
• If you are getting photos taken 7-10 days is ideal. Most of the newborn photos you'll see are of 7-10 day old babies. Time will vary if preme or multiples. Don't wait several weeks and then still expect to get the same type of photos. at the very least try to book within 24 hours of giving birth though that may only apply to the photographer work for because most of our clients book well in advanced but there's always a few every now and then that call in trying to get in the same day and we have to behave ourselves when we explain that wont be possible.
  
• Gripe water, buy it
  
• Don't touch her stomach after she's given birth.
  
• Get her a push present
  
• have your go bag and car seat ready in the car even earlier than recommended. honestly not sure what's recommended but just do it as early as you can. a lot of our clients have been going early recently.
  
  That's all I can think of for now. Good luck to you and don't worry nobody knows what they are doing the first time. Just by making this post looking for advice you will probably be more ready that many of the first time dads that come into our studio. Just enjoy your time together as much as possible those first few weeks and take lots of photos and videos even if its just on your phone. and back them up. babies grow so fast the first few weeks so they will never be that tiny again. Blink and its over. Oh and for the future, age 2 sucks but 3 should be good. you can usually start bribing them by 3. Again I want to reiterate that I myself and not a father (but I hope to be) so take all of this however you like. I've been working at this studio for almost a decade now (i'm 30) and these are just the things that I've seen and learned from all the parents that come in. Also, Asian babies are the best, have one of those if you can, they're usually prefect for their sessions...
  
  (sorry about typos, too lazy to go back and fix)

This is one of the better lists I've seen, so I'll add some value.

SLEEPING 101:

Best sleep aid: https://www.amazon.com/Melatonin-Tablets-L-Theanine-Chamomile-Valerian/dp/B014X22IUA/

Max 2 pills and only if you're a big guy! You'll know if you took too much because your dreams will be very intense.

Here's my routine. It's solid. You get back to the room and call up room-service. Keep it low carb and only a tiny bit of complex sugars, you're going to be sleeping with this in your gut. This is your only meal for the next 24 hours, so shoot for 1500 calories AT LEAST. Burger with cheese and bacon, but only eat half the bun and get fruit instead of fries. Maybe some breakfast food, but skip the toast and hash browns. Food is on the way, now jump in the shower (don't forget about your sinuses). With another 20 minutes to kill, I recommend stretching (or sexing). I like to rub a tennis ball all over my sore leg muscles (google it). When the food arrives, take a melatonin tablet (+postload), drink your pedialyte, and eat your meal. Now comes the hardest part, shutting off your brain. It wants to replay every moment of the amazing night and if you let it, it will spend hours of time doing just that. I put on a 20 minute guided meditation. Headspace app works great for that. Put all your focus into your breathing and let the melatonin do its job. If you're not accustomed to sleeping until 6pm, I recommend taking a second pill after 4 hours of sleep. Just have it ready by your bed and when you roll over after coming out of a REM cycle, take the pill. MOST IMPORTANT TIP -> Don't get anxious or worry about not falling asleep. Just closing your eyes and being calm will repair your body. Instead of thinking about getting 8 hours of sleep, change your goal to just 'being relaxed in my bed for 10 hours'.

Couple tips if you're having insomnia. Listen up cuz this is the real deal, this WILL help get you through these first few days (take it from someone who just got through it and is feeling great now).

1. Start taking magnesium. Like, as soon as humanly possible. Get this brand here, there are a million types of magnesium, and the most common ones won't do jack for you. I've done tons of brand research and this is the good stuff.
   
   Take two pills as soon as you wake up, and more importantly, take two 30-60 minutes before bed. When you take it at night it will make you sleepy. You can take it on an empty stomach, it's super easy on the stomach.
   
   Magnesium is the 2nd most common deficiency in the developed world, AND alcohol flushes magnesium out of your body. So chances are that your body is WAY low on it, and that will mess up your sleep AND it will make you depressed. Getting your magnesium levels back up is proven to lower symptoms of depression and improve your mood, something I've experienced first hand, so it should make your moods a little sunnier.
   
   
2. If the above doesn't work for getting you to sleep, and you want to bring in the big guns, take some melatonin at night about 30 minutes before you want to go to bed. I like this brand but there are lots online to choose from.
   
   BIG POINT FOR MELATONIN: Most melatonin pills are 5mg. I don't know why this is, because that's actually a massive dose. Break off about a quarter of a pill and that should be a good dose (.75-1.5mg). Also, if you go the melatonin route, try to limit your usage to 1-2 weeks of daily usage. If you take it too often, then when you stop you might have trouble getting to sleep again, cuz your body got used to it. So just take it for a 5-14 days while your body heals itself and naturally learns how to fall asleep without alcohol.
   
   In general, you may have to take it on faith that it gets better for now while you're hurting, but it's the OVERWHELMING experience of everyone that it does get better. Nobody, ever, in the history of the world, was having a shitty life, and then they started drinking more, and then things got better.
   
   But if you go to an AA meeting (which I highly recommend doing), you will meet people with 1, 5, 10, 20 years of sobriety, and every single one will tell you that their lives got insanely better when they stopped drinking. You'll hear a lot of people saying stuff like "back when I was drinking, I couldn't possibly imagine my life being as good as it is today". And I've had people close to me quit, and I've seen them go through a similar situation.
   
   Hang in there friend. What you're doing right now is worth every bit of effort.

Man, I worked thirds for an extended period in my 20s and it blew hard. I'm going to give you a crash course in shit to do (and not do).

Respect your new sleep cycle. Yes the rest of the world runs from sun up to sun down but you don't anymore. As weird as it will feel the middle of the day is your midnight. Resist the urge, at all costs, to stay awake for things and treat it like it's staying away to 3AM or whatever. People who don't work 3rd shift will not understand this and will, at some point, be short/shitty with you over your inability to attend their "4AM" gathering.

Resist the urge to eat. Third shift workers the world over will tell you that the doldrums of the middle of the night, the monotony of most third shift jobs, the lack of sunlight, etc. will all conspire to make you want to eat. Weight gain for night shift workers is a real issue.

Pick up some doxylamine succinate tablets. It's essentially the shit in Nyquil that makes you fall asleep (but isolated from all the other compounds in Nyquil). It's a great non-addictive sleep aide that will knock you the fuck out. Seriously, if I take a full tab, even after slamming back shots of espresso all night, I'm out cold in 20 minutes or less. There will be mornings you cannot get to sleep because you drank too much coffee, you caught the sunrise and it gave you a second wind, people are working on your apartment complex, whatever... and you'll want a good sleep aide.

Do everything you can to improve your general health. There are studies after studies that pile up evidence that third shift is horrible for your health and shortens your life. Drink lots of water. Make sure you're supplementing Vitamin D because your daily sun exposure will be radically decreased (especially if you're working thirds in a northern winter climate). Get adequate sleep (and stick to a schedule just like you would if you weren't on third shift); resist the urge to sleep late into the day. Pack good meals/snacks for your shift so you're not living off Mountain Dew and candy bars. Exercise (and if you can, incorporate exercise into your night shift to help keep you awake and your body in an alert state).

Edited to add: I just reread your post after I submitted my comment and saw you're working a rotating shift. Man. That's the worst of all shifts. My third shift advice still stands but good luck getting any consistent sleep for the duration of your job.

I have bipolar 2 and am on meds, but use supplements to support me.

This website has comprehensive information about lifestyle and supplements that make a difference. I highly recommend that you explore it completely. (It looks clunky/unsophisticated, however I have researched the MD who created it and he is respected in the field...although considered a bit of cowboy.)

Fundamentals you may have already addressed: Exercise, bipolar specific cognitive behavioral therapy, establishing a consistent daily routine (an ongoing process for me).

Most effective for depression is light therapy; it can actually trigger mania, so be careful. It has rarely failed me. I use a dawn stimulator and morning lightbox. The combination of light and dark therapy I think is ideal but I haven't added dark therapy (I'm on reddit at night and can't break the habit).

Re: your stack:

• Make sure you are taking a EPA /DHA combo of at least 60%. And the DHA is important. Don't just take EPA.
  
• Assume you're on methylfolate 15mg?
  
• Probiotic: I'm not familiar with Symprove. However you need to choose the probiotic strains (name and number) that have research backed evidence of helping with depression. I used the resources of r/HumanMicrobiome and this spreadsheet to choose these strains to take: Lactobacillus casei DN-114001 - mood (NOW probiotic-10). Bifido. Longum/Infantis 35624 - Immune modulation incl. TNF, IL-6, CRP, depression (Align Digestive Support) because there was crossover with my other problem, rheumatoid arthritis. With some work, you can find something specific for you.
  
  Personally, I would stop all supplements except methyfolate, NAC, fish oil (EPA/DHA >60%) and maybe theanine if it helps you sleep. Add a light box in AM. Make sure you are taking melatonin 300 mcg (not more than that) every night (add a low dose time release melatonin if you still wake at night.) Give it one month of consistent use then re-evaluate.
  
  Good luck and feel free to DM me!

Well I balance it out with being active. I work out before work. I don't go home and get on the computer after work. Nothing says I can't go out for walks in the woods or go rock climbing or camping on the weekends. In the winter you can't really do all that except on weekends cause it gets dark soon after work but there's all sorts of indoor stuff. Like indoor soccer, swimming, indoor rock climbing, board games. Plus fire pits are awesome in the winter. Also, more and more jobs in tech are allowing remote work which means you could be anywhere in the world. I do like an office though as a regular place to go to greet friends and employees and give/receive help. Some tech offices are really nice and I have looked forward to going there in the mornings. Also these help a ton with headaches/eye fatigue https://www.amazon.com/Compression-Headache-Migraine-Patented-Universal/dp/B001HTYJLO/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1539168600&sr=8-3&keywords=imak+eye+mask I put them in the freezer in unsealed ziplock bags (so some air can get in but they don't physically touch anything in the freezer) and when I get home I lay down and put them on for 15-30 minutes and turn on a podcast or something to listen to and man it's refreshing. I dunno if being a park ranger in yellowstone will ever stop being appealing though :p

I'm going to second the eye mask -- You know how "weighted blankets" are pretty popular right now (I have one and LOVE it), well you can get weighted eye masks. I travel a lot and this thing is a game changer for me. It completely blocks out light (because it's filled with glass beads it contours to your face so no light seeping in), it's super cooling and comfortable. It also reduces puffy eyes from jet lag, etc. You can get them on Amazon, this is the one I have and I use it every night even though I don't have a light problem like you. It may be a good solution for you if you cannot get the lights changed.

So eating Paleo (read Grain Brain) is a diet all about reducing inflammation in the body. It also gives a list of supplements that are recommend by the neurologist that wrote the book. A lot of people with Autoimmune, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Diabetes, Gluten Intolerance and other allergies have had amazing results on this diet. All of which are linked by inflammation. This changed my life (Gluten & other allergies) and my Dad's (Parkinson and arthritis) life. Grain Brain

Two additional things that will help.

1 order gluten free gelatin from Amazon and make home made jello. This will help your joints like a miracle.

Gelatin Supplement

2 Take a melatonin supplement. It's what your body makes to help you sleep but sometimes when are bodies are sick and exhausted it doesn't produce enough. It will force you to get deeper REM and wake up more rested. Start with 5mg and tweak it to your needs. I have been taking it for about 10 years and I now take 20mg. I am 30, 5'7" & weigh 155.

Melatonin Supplement

Remember just like meds you may have to tweak brands and dosages in order to find the most effective results. But you should get relief within about a week of doing at least these two things.
A combination of all of this though took me from incapable of functioning and working a job to almost completely normal and now very successful at work and still improving.

TL;DR Cheap HDM lippage solution
If anyone has been in Rec Room Dodgeball or tried Out of Ammo, HDM slippage can be a problem especially if you are using a modded face cushion, i.e. sleep mask. Two solutions, one is tear apart an old bicycle helmet and use the rear strap for an adjustable fit. While this worked well for me, when I demoed I would run into a person now and then that wasn't comfortable with it. I needed a softer more elegant solution. Holy shit, it was right under our noses. I kept the straps I had cut off of this mask ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0142TUPE0 ) slipped it through the buckles on the Vive and viola, a beautiful, comfortable, adjustable, and CHEAP solution. I can attest it works well and I will trim and fine tune the ends on the buckle side to have a more elegant and fixed attachement. Hope this has some value to the community that has given me an incredible amount of value.

That's awful. I'm so sorry that's happening.

There are others who post on here about their Nparent(s) purposely being loud and making noise to keep them on edge and anxious.

It is probably on purpose, or it's some kid of subconscious or habitual thing he's gotten used to.

You can do few things to mitigate the sound if leaving the house isn't an option, but you're really going to want to make sure he isn't aware you're doing any of them, or he will probably start paying attention to when you're trying to block him out, and escalate accordingly.

•close your door (pretty obvious)

•get noise-canceling headphones, or normal ones that go all the way around your ears and listen to music (I think they make some for listening to music that are also noise-canceling, but they might be expensive)

•get a fan (a big box fan makes the best white noise imo) or a white noise machine

I hope some of that helps. Keep us updated.

Edit: clarity
Edit 2: small typos

When I had my first aura I freaked out too- esp since my family has a history of eye issues and brain tumors. (this was after I had migraines for awhile too) In a panic I called my doc who said I should call my neuro, and he said they are pretty normal. I still went to the eye doctor just in case the next week as I kept having them, but it seems they are linked to my chronic migraines.

For me, I take a break from being on the computer/reading/watching tv and relax. If I'm having a full on migraine, I lay down and close my eyes, and I have an eye pillow that you put in the freezer that I put over my eyes, and try to take a nap if possible. If I just have the aura (which does happen) I know that I either have a migraine coming or just need to get somewhere dark, so I just try to relax somewhere not as bright.

Also, sunglasses with the UV filter seem to help me when I go outside, since for me I get the auras mostly with bright light or eye strain. Hope that helps!

Whenever I've been slaving away in the studio for a long time, and need to zonk out for the night (or day) and can't seem to do so naturally or in a timely fashion, I just take a single 25mg tablet of Doxylamine Succinate (brand name: Unisom). It's an antihistamine similar to Diphenhydramine HCl (brand name: Benadryl), but quite a bit more potent in my experience, which is why I prefer it over diphenhydramine.

First generation antihistamines like doxylamine and diphenhydramine were originally developed to treat allergies, but since they (unlike their more recently developed chemical compound cousins) also tend to have the side effect of causing mild to moderate drowsiness, they're also frequently packaged and sold as sleep aids. You can find drowsiness-inducing antihistamines like doxylamine and diphenhydramine at most drug stores, in either the sleep aid or allergy section. If you are feeling scientific, you could buy a travel package of each, and see which one works better for you before buying a big bottle.

If you end up going with doxylamine as your knock-me-out pill of choice, want the best available price-per-unit, and don't mind waiting a couple days for shipping, Amazon has a killer deal on them.

Hope this helps!

I bought this recently on Amazon and love it. It's usb chargeable and lasts like 16 hours and if you travel to a place with different electricity it's easy to charge unlike the momo or whatever the big white ones are. I used a phone app for a few years but I like this one because it doesn't have the looping sound and it's super small. Fits in the palm of your hand.

Well first off build yourself a top of the line pc with the new i7-7700k and GTX 1080 (or if money really isn't an issue get a GTX Titan XP and upgrade it to the 1080 Ti when it comes out lol).


Then make sure you have enough room. I only have 1.7 x 2.2m and it works great, but you can get up to 3x3m and over if you have the space.


The cord isn't too bad in most games, you will learn to just step over it. Certain games like Holopoint and Racket NX will have you spinning and getting tangled, but you can download a program called Advanced OpenVR Settings that will tell you how many spins you made in a certain direction so you can spin the other way ingame.


You will have a lot of add-ons to buy in a few months - Wireless (TPCast) , Hi5 Gloves , deluxe audio strap for added comfort , VR15 Rifle Accessory


And I 100% suggest that you buy a few of these sleep masks, cut out the middle, and use them as faceplate cushions instead of the default one, they are way more comfortable.


And get a box of these to wipe your lenses :P

I have one of these thingies for when I sleep:

https://www.amazon.com/Adaptive-Sound-Technologies-LectroFan-Non-Looping/dp/B00MY8V86Q/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1540179845&sr=8-5&keywords=fan+noise

​

Best purchase I've ever made. It helps block out so many relatively quiet sounds, including breathing when I sleep in the same room as someone. Though more often, it helps to block out the sound of cars going by. If you can afford it, I recommend it. Or like others have said, you can try an actual fan or play fan noise on your laptop. Rainymood is also great, if rain/waves/etc works as white noise for you.

I think 300mcg is enough for extended release. I purchased this one before http://www.amazon.com/Life-Extension-Melatonin-Released-Vegetarian/dp/B00CDABRUW/ref=sr_1_9_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1457032177&sr=8-9&keywords=melatonin+extended+release#customerReviews

For me, it is too strong. I wake up groggier than normal. but it has good reviews. I still have to experiment with a lot of supplements including melatonin. I have bought more than I can test without confounding factors. For now, I prefer normal melatonin and I take less than 100mcg (I have it in powder form).

Two more supplements worth trying- Magnolia extract from Liftmode. Baicalin (ingredient from Skullcap) from Powder City or where you can get it.

Maybe add zinc before bed, I think it can help a little.

The best one is Phenibut, but it has addiction potential so it's not a smart idea to take it every day (I take it every 2-3 days around 500mg).

Edit: Now that I think about it, maybe there is a supplement that disrupts your sleep and you are unaware of it. For me Ashwagandha really disrupts my sleep, although it helps with sleep for so many people.

It was effective, but unreliable for me. The best experience I had was using a low dose of slow release melatonin. I've experimented with four different brands/doesages, and I can firmly say that less is more. When I took a low dose (<2 mg) I had a much higher percentage chance of staying asleep for the entire night. The higher doses (> 5mg) would cause me to fall asleep quickly, but I would usually wake up 3-4 hours later and be wide awake for the rest of the night. I'd recommend this as a good one to try: Natrol 1mg Melatonin Slow Release Tablets

1mg will allow you to start with a low dose to test the effectiveness and then experiment with higher does by taking more than one.

Good luck!

Keep your curtains open. Try low dose time release melatonin (or Valarian root) to help you get to bed early. I like this. Use Sleep As Android to set an alarm that will wake you up in a light phase of sleep so you feel refreshed. After waking up use a blue light device (or get some sunshine for awhile) to help reset your sleep rhythm. Also if you live in a cold/dark/cloudy area try a vitamin D supplement. These are things that have helped me get into a healthy sleep schedule, hope it helps you!

Ah yeah I'm sure she'll be great there then! It may be a little noisy there still as the street to the right, Austurstræti, is a popular strip of bars & restaurants. And it's a popular way to walk over to the Laugavegur scene. We were there on a weeknight & heard some noise at 2 or 3 am, but I think it was fine once we closed the windows. You can probably request to be on the other side of the hotel/quiet room. This is also a great travel white noise machine.

The one thing that helps me a lot is melatonin. If I get off of my sleep schedule for whatever reason (exams...) popping a melatonin the next day at my normal sleep time helps me fall asleep and then wake up feeling refreshed. It resets my sleep cycle so I can get back on schedule.

Simple, cheap, effective solution to the sleep bit. Helps you set up a sleep schedule a bit easier. If you stick to the sleep schedule for a couple weeks you will feel sleepy by default at around the time you normally go to bed. After that, just listen to your body.

Hello! great to hear that melatonin has worked for you. As far as 300mcg and time release, please look here! I found one yesterday! :D

https://www.amazon.com/Life-Extension-Melatonin-Released-Vegetarian/dp/B00CDABRUW/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1479610586&sr=1-3&keywords=melatonin%2Bmcg&th=1

As far as the dreams go, i havent taken anything over 300mcg yet, so I may never experience them- they sound cool though :)

5-HTP is sold over the counter as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant, and sleep aid.

L-tryptophan is a natural amino acid and is a compound used in the creation of serotonin and can also be bought over the counter in supplement form (used as an antidepressant and sleep aid) but it also occurs naturally in many foods.

As Anonymous_69 stated, Vitamin B (particularly B6) works well too as it helps convert the tryptophan into serotonin. Vitamin B also helps in the generation of dopamine.

Dude just start lifting. Wake up. Drink a protein shake. Later eat some eggs with veggies. Eat some fruits. Stock up on Omega 3. Drink coconut milk. Have some brown rice pasta. Just start caring about your overall look. I'm really skinny too but I don't even care. I care more about feeling healthy, and lifting/cooking will make you feel healthy and happy. When it comes to sleep, take these l tryptophan and magnesium

This is the one I used, but honestly, any sleeping eye mask will do.
You could pick some up at the dollar store and see which one is most comfortable fit to you!

Suntheanine is just marketing.

l-theanine is l-theanine. I like 200mg on an empty stomach in the morning. With or without coffee. Higher amounts are quite forgiving and tolerance is negligible. Find what works for you.

I can confidently tell you that it is not worth the extra money. You're just paying for marketing. This is the best deal I've found:

https://www.amazon.com/BulkSupplements-Pure-L-Theanine-Powder-grams/dp/B00E7GESLA?th=1

I used a powdered supplement called "CALM" from amazon a few times a day and it really helped for anxiety.

http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Vitality-Calm-Raspberry-Lemon/dp/B00BPUY3W0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454279751&sr=8-1&keywords=calm


Also, some sleep supplements will definitely help you get SOME sleep. This one is pretty cheap, has 3 natural sleeping aids and taking 2-3 WILL help you sleep

http://www.amazon.com/Melatonin-Tablets-L-Theanine-Chamomile-Valerian/dp/B014X22IUA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1454279810&sr=8-2&keywords=schiff+melatonin

Hi there. Have been using melatonin since 1994 so I am the master of it lol.

Right now I use Solgar 3mg nuggets, super tiny pills that will absorb really quickly. I take 9mg, non-timed release, can take a 1-3 hours to fall asleep.

If you need microdosing and/or time release, head on over to Amazon and check out Life Extension. They should have a 300mcg time release dose. Every few weeks, some nights still fail so I'm all night again lol. Doesn't matter the brand just the way I'm personally built. Don't let that discourage you though.

• Time release
  
• Non time release
  
  Not sure why the time release one is $10 right now so you might be able to find other sources for a better price. You can get the non-time release ones for $4-6.
  
  I used to swear by Schiff brand, but doesn't look like they sell pure melatonin anymore (they put b6 and theanine in their formulas), and also they don't have a low dose size either (used to have 1mg).
  
  Finally you can check Labdoor if you want a scientific analysis of how much of the product actually meets the label.
  
  Also you can put them under your tongue and let them dissolve, the idea is for alot of it to bypass the stomach and go directly into the bloodstream.
  
  This Reddit forum is surprisingly quiet. If you know of any other forums let me know as I need some help myself locating a new specialist for some testing.

We have the Rohm white noise machine from Amazon, it’s fantastic. Got it as a shower gift and it’s still working great a year later.

Marpac Rohm White Noise Sound Machine, Portable https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01D50RZQI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7QmLDb5Z4Z19G

Yes I'm very sensitive to caffeine as well. I buy powdered theanine in bulk and put a scoop of it under my tongue to dissolve before drinking caffeine and there is zero anxiety or jitters it's pretty amazing. https://www.amazon.com/BulkSupplements-Pure-L-Theanine-Powder-grams/dp/B00E7GESLA

Here's your solution. That should mostly do it, but also, if you must: this. You need to do whatever it takes to get good sleep, including having a serious sit-down talk with your roommate about respecting your sleep schedule since you work so late. Make it clear that it is affecting your health. You guys can work out a solution. What is your roommate doing in the morning that is so loud? If it's chores and things, do them at night before you go to bed. If it's music, ask them to use headphones. It's not just your gainz that are being affected - it's everything. Researchers have also recently connected chronic sleep deprivation to Alzheimer's.

I tried the face mask mod and it worked alright. The problem was that after wearing it for about 45 minutes to an hour my face had this horrible black mark from where the mask made contact. It was like it stained my face and I had to scrub it with every cleansing agent I could find. The shit just wouldn't come off. I ended up scrubbing my face raw.

I thought maybe I just needed to clean the face mask material real good, but it didn't help. After the second time I gave up and tossed it. I'm assuming it was the dye in the material coming off my on face from the pressure and sweat. This is the one I bought after seeing it recommended.

I ended up going with this stuff instead and it's worked great. It's basically the same as what u/gamermusclevideos is recommending.

And good eye mask for when they need to nap during the day. I found a slightly weighted one works good and stays in place. I like this one as it has little plastic pellets in it to conform to your face, really blocks out light good, yet still is cool and lets air flow.

Have you tried using a white noise machine like this one? I used to sleep with a similar gadget right next to me and it really helped.

Overall, the best thing you can do is to try not to focus on your tinnitus in an emotional sense. Don't get caught in the loop of "I wish this would stop -> I'm miserable because this won't stop -> It won't stop because I'm focusing on it -> I wish this would stop..."

https://smile.amazon.com/Adaptive-Sound-Technologies-LectroFan-Non-Looping/dp/B00MY8V86Q

This thing is GREAT, best white noise machine I've found so far.

Items I use to combat these things:

App called “Calm”—it has sleep stories. They are more effective than I thought.

Yup! Conair Sound Therapy Machine. Still going strong, 5+ years later. My toddler insists that we play the birds chirping one every night... I don't understand how she can sleep with such an irritating noise playing, but she definitely sleeps better with the birds.

This is what I take....seems to have a lot of the things mentioned here as helpful. I'm past wd symptoms (I think) so YMMV but i've been very happy with it for the past week.
https://www.amazon.com/Melatonin-Tablets-L-Theanine-Chamomile-Valerian/dp/B014X22IUA

My baby girl used to do this until we bought a sound machine for the car and now she either falls asleep or just sits there nicely most of the time. This is the one we use: Marpac Rohm Portable White Noise Machine for Travel | 3 Soothing, Natural Sounds with Volume Control | Compact Sleep Therapy for Adults & Baby | USB Rechargeable | Lanyard for Easy Hanging https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D50RZQI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_J33sDbGE07CQ1

I have that exact same pouch and it definitely does the job. I put my phone in, and within a minute or so, I'll unvelcro it, look and my signal is gone. I will also try calling it while it's in the pouch and it does not ring.

Here's a new spin on being extra private as well. Put one of these in a large tupperware storage container, with the lid open/closed your preference. Then place your phone inside the container. The phone will only be able to pick up white noise, and the container keeps from hearing any outside conversations. I've been doing this lately because it makes me feel more comfortable that my conversations aren't always on record via my phone. You can also keep your ringer on loud so you can see whether or not you get notifcations as well.

Agree with the others: getting them used to low level noises is the way to go. In the meantime, I also recommend some soothing white noise. I've used one of these for two girls, they're great. Works plugged in the bedroom and runs of AA batteries.

Funny you should ask. Like other commenters I recently purchased a sleep mask to block out morning sunlight. For that purpose it has changed my life - no more waking up at sunrise. But it is well suited for bedroom play as well. It is super comfy, not bulky, has pads around the eyes so no pressure on the eyes, blocks all light, and stays in place.

Oh, one more thing: L-Theanine. This stuff is absolutely amazing. It has a working relationship with caffeine in the sense that it negates all of caffeine's negative side-effects, like anxiety, jitters, the caffeine crash, blood pressure spikes, etc. If you take it by itself it gives you a very subtle sense of calm and increased focus. The best thing about it is it's easy to dose (100-500 mg range) and tolerance to it develops VERY slowly. It takes away some of the anxiety that amphetamine sometimes causes and just makes the whole experience a bit smoother. This is what I use. I can't recommend it enough!

I had some serious issues with that. And they became even worse the longer I was sober because I had strong feeling of having wasted my time and being a looser because of having been a drinker.

Besides of reading loads of stuff ("No more Mr Nice Guy" was an eye-opener for me) I also up to now take some food supplements which are very helpful.

Particularly it's L-Tyrosin and L-Tryptophan.

The first one will help your body to produce dopamine, adrenaline and nor-adrenaline resulting in a better focus and a more IDGAF-mindset and the second one will help synthesize serotonin and melatonine, resulting in a better sleep and reducing depression.

Positive side-effects are "loosing weight". I reached kind of a zen-state now. I am much calmer and don't think about my mistakes in the past more than necessary and if I do it's more in a constructive than a destructive way.

They are no drugs and won't cause any addiction.

From what I've heard, even if you do get them they are very uncomfortable to wear. Lot of people said theirs went straight in the trash so it might be $27 down the drain anyways. Could try to cancel via email I guess and hope they refund you.

EDIT: If you're looking for a cheaper alternative option to get your eyes closer to the lenses, a sleep mask might be a decent option. Just have to cut the eye holes out, they stick to the headset pretty well on their own. Here's a few options, I've tried all 3 and the first one listed was my favorite but note that it's pretty similar in width as the standard foam ones that come shipped with the headset, but it's a decent option if you need a replacement until official accessories are up for sale. Also the last 2 listed are almost identical:

You need to find somewhere else to live. Until such time that can be arranged I suggest investing in a sleep mask.

I have lived in similar situations before and from my experience people like this DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. They are not bad people per se, they just have no empathy. Good luck.

Cut that into roughly the shape of the standard wide face mask (big C shape) and it will fit the Vive perfectly and also stick to the velcro, took me 2 minutes to do. Once you have it on, move the bottom ends of the sleep mask that rest on your cheek bones lower and out of the way of the bottom of the Vive lenses, it makes a significant difference as well. Also try to have the face mask pad lining on the outside edge of the velcro strip around the face seal of the Vive, leaving plenty of room around the lenses for your face to fit in and for your eyes to get close to the lenses. It makes for a very immersive FOV, closest to DK1 I have gotten in a long time.

Only a few options showed up when I searched "non screen rain(/noise) maker". But I like how this one looks. I hope it works well.

Although I've never been a fan guy. Makes me feel like I left something running.

I am not sure if they have them where you or not but maybe you could order some? This is how they look, they basically help hold your nose open to all you to breath better while you sleep.

nasal strips at night make a huge difference

I've also tried these which are good but fall out

And these which were not comfy to me

I think you can't do much else but these products help. Btw a rhinoplasty is generally cosmetic and doesn't fix a deviated septum. You're looking for a septoplasty. I had one but unfortunately was unlucky and it re-deviated back to how it was.

Edit: also a pro tip you can usually see a deviated septum more clearly if you look at the nostrils.

Nature's Way CalmAid lavender oil gelcaps to reduce anxiety. Clinically proven comparable to benzodiazipines with no drowsiness. They have made a huge difference in my son's ability to concentrate at school and sleep with no discernible side effects. I tried them myself and my ability to concentrate improved dramatically whilst I was under a deadline for a quarterly report.

Link to Amazon if you're interested. $11.65 for thirty including post.

Not sure if it's what Arin talked about, but there's always Breath Right. They're adhesive strips that you put on your nose before bed that keep your nostrils open and help you breath better while you sleep.

You can try a sound machine, like a LectroFan. It helped me quite a bit and I haven't needed it for awhile now and have just been using my fan on the lowest setting. Hopefully that's good news for me, but I try not to get my hopes up too high.... :P

order them now! i keep procrastinating on things like this too.

My husband insists our 70lb dog sleep on our bed every night. I swear I never get more than an hour or two of rest before I wake up for some reason or another, and he doesn't even snore! my cat likes to walk on me, too. and yeah, its cute, how can I get mad that she wants to snuggle?

We bought this a couple weeks ago and it definitely helps. Helps me too since he’s in our room

I've totally been there before. Whenever I've smoked daily for a long period, I take a 1-2 week break. It will really help resetting your whole system.

Whenever I take a t-break I always have trouble sleeping the first few days so I take a sleep aid. It's basically a benedryl with only the stuff that helps you fall asleep. Just take it 1-2 hours before you go to sleep and leave yourself at least 8 hours for sleep. Taking it the first few days after I stop smoking helps my body learn to fall asleep naturally again. After a week, you'll feel more well rested and alert!

PS: It doesn't have to be kirkland brand, but this is what sleep aid looks like https://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Doxylamine-Succinate-192-Count/dp/B0045XGE9E/ref=zg_bs_3764301_8

these look like just a thin sheet of foam cut to the template. Materials wise probably cost no more than $0.50. Just go to your local arts and crafts store and by a foam sheet and cut it yourself. Or better yet, buy a memory foam sleeping mask from amazon.com for $8 each, cheaper than these and more comfortable.

1. This is the bed I have. Such a simple and modern design.
   
2. Can you say no to tea and macarons before bed?
   
3. I saw all the Disney stuff and thought this would be appropriate.
   
4. How about a blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you?
   
5. Some soothing sounds to ease a little one to sleep.

I’m a super light sleeper, doubly so when traveling alone, and it makes such a difference. I generally can plug it in near whatever bed I’m in for the night, but it does have a rechargeable battery also. it also works as a tiny Bluetooth speaker. I wish it came with a case (I bought a tiny hard shell case separately to keep it from getting its buttons pressed in transit).

Que será, será. / Whatever will be, will be.

Focus on you and your own goals. You don't know if your influence might have a positive effect on them later on. In the mean time, pick up some nice ear plugs and a sleep mask.

Well, full disclosure, I take two types of sleep aid; melatonin and something I only know as "Kirkland signature sleep aid", I googled it and found this which seems to be what I use. When I first started using this, I did wake up a bit groggy, so I cut it in half when I started using it and had better results with that.

For waking up naturally, what I didn't mention is how I wake up: I use an alarm clock (this one), and then the first thing I do is--- check facebook. This does a few things; it engages the brain, makes you socially aware, and gives your eyes a powerful dose of light exposure. All things that wake you up.

This sucks, a few notes that may be useful to you and other users:

1. You can sometimes work out how many rooms a host has by clicking on their host profile and seeing all the properties they list. Then you can usually figure it out from maps and pictures. You can sometimes also figure out if those rooms will be occupied or not.
   
   
2. I recently bought a wrap around sleep mask with, get this, a speaker in it that connects to my iPhone via blue tooth. Then I can use it to play whitenoise. Cost me $10 (ordered online from a local ecom platform). Here's an example of a similar one: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Eye-Headphones-Joseche-Microphone/dp/B07F59HQRC. Then you can play whitenoise and hopefully that can help. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
   
   
3. Check with hosts by sending a private message ahead of time.
   
   In terms of fixing this current situation the best you can do is to talk to the host and the other guests. There's nothing foolproof though. If you can afford it then it may be worth cutting your losses and staying elsewhere (sunk cost fallacy) but I understand that for a lot of folks that's just financially not possible.

I'd just get one of those simple ones that aren't necessarily meant for kids, you definitely want to be able to plug it in so that you don't have the change the batteries if you're going to run it all night. I'd think this would be fine. Just make sure it's far enough away that he can't get to the cord.

This is the one I have!

You can put it in the fridge or freezer before using it too if you ever have a headache, it's amazing!!!

Yea I love dogs too and have one myself, so I felt like a horrible person wishing they would die, but I did. Being jarred awake like that everyday wears you down and you start to lose it a bit.

Here is the one we got. I think part of the reason it works for us though is because the neighbor's dogs are hounds and this machine has a low frequency hum that matches perfectly with their particular bark. So a yipper may not blend in as well.

Yess, this is excellent advice!! We share a bedroom with our son and have invested in these black out curtains

we also have this white noise machine which is inexpensive and works wonders (our alexa echo dot kept fading in and out after an hour and waking him, it was so annoying).

the blackout curtains hide any light from electronics that might distract him and add to the dark, nighttime effect. sleep training while room sharing is definitely possible!

we didnt sleep train until he was 5 months old though, id give your little one more time.

This one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H6WXUX8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_4ciHzbCY18D5Q there is a baby specific version too. I originally bought this for me, but I'm deciding to save it for the nursery.

Ive been doing some research, and although I cant help your addiction, these two supplements help replenish the Serotonin & Dopamine that coke diminishes. Feel free to do some research in your own time regarding the subject.

Dopamine

We have used this one from Amazon for 15mo now. We use it plugged in, but it can be run on batteries which has been helpful a handful of times while traveling/camping. It has different sound settings, adjustable volume (so you can make it quieter over time to wean babe off of needing it) and it was less than $20!

search this sub-reddit for the sleep mask hack to replace the standard foam inserts. they're $7 on amazon, way more comfortable, and most importantly: increase the FOV (field of view). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013S9CPDE/

i use the sleep mask by default, but if it gets sweaty can use the originals as backups.

There's a more portable micro sized one for under $25 now, I love it.

Some other people have thrown out their sleep mask recommendations, so I thought I'd throw out the one I got. It's pretty nice when a migraine strikes, and another person on the subreddit recommended it to me.

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:

1. Are you talking about this? https://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Nighttime-Non-Habit-LiquiCaps-Refreshed/dp/B007MB60CC
   
   
2. How long does a bottle last?
   
   
3. Any negative side effects?
   
   I would love to hear your input.

This works very well for creating white noise in your room https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MY8V86Q/

I also have sleep issues, the time release melatonin has been amazing, this is what I've been using. I was getting symptoms of anhedonia from larger doses.

First, find yourself a Safe Parking location and get in there if you can.

For Los Angeles: https://www.safeparkingla.org/

Long Beach's pilot Safe Parking program starts in September.

If you're not in a Safe Parking location, you'll want to block out your windows at night. Whether or not you're in a Safe Parking location, you also might want to get a good sleep mask and some earplugs.

If you're in neighborhoods, vary your parking spot as much as you can (choose different streets or different neighborhoods for the night if possible), and be a good neighbor -- no noise, no trash, no sitting in your vehicle with the music on even if the windows are up, no pacing up and down in front of houses talking on your phone at night, no peeing on trees or pooping in bushes, no sneaking up to houses to turn on their hose to get water, no chain-smoking outside someone's home, no drugs. All these things make it more likely that someone will ask the cops to ask you to move on.

A YMCA membership for showering and a bathroom is a great idea, especially if you need to get out of the heat and just sit somewhere air conditioned and read or charge your electronics. Some have wifi and TVs too. However, joining something like 24-hour Fitness means you have 24/7 access to showers and restrooms, although they might be less chill about people hanging out charging your electronics or reading or something.

Eggshell foam is going to get unbearably hot to sleep on and isn't going to provide you much support -- you're going to be aching in the morning after a night or two. If you have any spare cash, you can get an okay mattress at IKEA for $60.

Public libraries are also good for getting into air conditioning and charging your devices, plus you get to read whatever you want and stuff.

I had a brief period of weird anxious physical/mental symptoms due to a medication, and what helped me sleep was getting a little vibrating thing to keep on my bed to distract my body, and leaving the radio low enough that I could tell it was voices without understanding the words to distract my mind. Without those things I was being jolted awake by extreme nausea every time I got anywhere near sleep.

The vibrating thing was a neck rest that had built-in vibration and heat that I got from the thrift store, but anything that can vibrate gently and plugs in so it will last all night should do.

Edit: Also they make bluetooth sleep masks which can play sounds from your phone. It's very immersive, and I've been wearing mine every night since my SO got it for me: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Eye-Headphones-Joseche-Microphone/dp/B07F59HQRC

the foam really bothered my face as well. I switched to this memory foam sleep mask and find it so much more comfortable -
http://www.amazon.com/Roybens-Stereo-Lightweight-Comfortable-Adjustable/dp/B0142TUPE0?

I use one of these to help drown out my tinnitus.

​

I suppose it's probably an MP3 player on the inside, but it sounds good to me and has many different variations you can try.

OTC supplement found in health stores. IMO the better version of melatonin. https://www.amazon.com/Source-Naturals-L-Tryptophan-Essential-Supplement/dp/B000GFSVS2?th=1

Slightly more expensive but I can’t recommend this white noise machine highly enough. We bought it for our baby but 10 minutes in the room with it on and I start nodding off.

I've recently thought about this as well. These exist, but I cannot speak to their quality or comfort, but I'm going to give them a try.

I'm guessing you will have a baby girl and your due date will be January 5th. Thanks for the contest!

It’s all about a really good eye mask. One that has room so it doesn’t touch your eyes.

Try this one. life changer.

Try this if you want to stay asleep and not wake up throughout the night: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CDABRUW/

Might help with that.

Not a doctor but I am someone who gets frequent migraines. My doctor strongly suggested I get my eyesight tested as I may be inadvertently squinting a lot and causing eye strain. He also checked my blood pressure.

I got this sleep mask and it helps too

It's way overpriced in stores. Amazon has it for a fraction of the price of Walmart: http://amzn.com/B003KLROVY

Also, one of the Walmart melatonin brands I tried before discovering it on Amazon hit me like an energy drink, gave me terrible insomnia.

Have you considered white noise makers, especially for night time? Or even just a stand up fan?

Something like this may work, at least at night.

I bought this white noise machine for my 9 month old, and I wish I had bought it much earlier, it lets him sleep through a lot of household noises, I hope it helps you.

Earlier, we would be scared to flush either toilet in the house cause he'd wake up.

Now the machine is so loud that I can take a bath in the adjacent bathroom and he sleeps thru it.

I also tried another one, which is nice but not as loud as the other one, and so not as effective:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GQ2P78/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01

I find music too distracting during sex. My husband and I turn this on pointed toward the doorway if we want a sound barrier between us and our nosy kids.

You can’t kick the roommate out of the common space. He may be listening to you two get it on, but that’s something that falls to you to prevent if he’s just chilling on the couch in a shared area.

These help a lot for myself, but if your husband has apnea or something serious it will probably only make him a little quieter. Worth a shot though.

I have a sleep disorder and am sensitive to light. The way my bedroom is set up puts me under a skylight as well. (Great at night for stars, terrible past dawn. haha.)

This is the eyemask I have. It is comfortable and molds to my face, but it is thick as hell and no light gets through. You can't change the inconsiderate roomie, but at least something like that might help. :)

I used to do earplugs but the ear wax part of it is no good. I switched over to white noise machines and haven't looked back.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MY8V86Q/

I have this one and it’s amazing. It’s $10 more than the one you posted but I recommend it highly. The regular “white noise” setting scares the crap out of my kid, so thankfully there are multiple options. Ocean sound works well for us.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H6WXUX8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ge18AbG8PPMFB

I bought some sleep masks from amazon, and cut them into the shape of the face foam. They stick to the existing velcro on the vive

http://www.amazon.com/USpicy-Mask-Plugs-Travel-Pouch/dp/B013S9CPDE

http://www.amazon.com/Roybens-Stereo-Lightweight-Comfortable-Adjustable/dp/B0142TUPE0

why? a few reasons. thinner sleep masks allow for a slightly higher FOV due to the lenses being closer to your eyes. However I found it a bit uncomfortable on my nose so I use the slightly thicker 'memory foam' one

another reason is I now have several face 'foams' so I can swap them out / wash them as needed when sharing the vive or when its sweaty

final reason is comfort - I find the standard foam gets scratchy/uncomfortable on my face while I don't seem to have that problem with the memory foam sleep mask. different material, overly-sensitive skin, etc.

This is what I got:

But there's also a lot of other similar products if you want to poke around a bit.

1mg of melatonin is still too much. 300mcg is what you want, in a timed-release formula.

This company makes a larger one, but it isn't portable. I would bring this to the car when we wanted to try to have her sleep on the go. It was the gamechanger that let us shop and do other errands outside of the house with her when she was still a newborn. The phone white noise would work in the house, but not be loud enough for the car or even stroller walks.

May i make a suggestion? I mean aside from drink something heavily caffinated... Go buy this

SSRIs suck ass. I've been reading about this lavender supplement, CalmAid treats anxiety as well as lorazepam without the negative side effects or dependence, even has a scientific study or two. Has good reviews, I say try it before getting benzos, that's for sure!

Just buy something online that has white powder pills in it like melatonin. Open the caps, empty them, stuff it full of coke, and recap it. If you want to be very paranoid, mark coco pills with a little dot using a marker and bury them at the bottom of the bottle with real melatonin pills. Domestic flights in the US have very lax checks and they're only looking for things like weapons, bombs, or obvious illegal stuff that shows itself.

Melatonin is also a very common supplement to travel with since it helps sleep before bet time, a really useful tool to have during long flights or changes in time zones.

Expert mode: Take some caps with you to the restroom, open them up, and do coke on the plane. I'm kidding... don't do that.

If you were extra paranoid, you could buy that product then buy smaller caps and basically put the smaller caps inside the melatonin caps surrounded by melatonin product. That's overkill though.

I feel your pain. Been suffering for nearly two months now after an ear infection and have gotten no helpful feedback from ENT. I do like this sound machine.

Just bought that mask and cut out eye holes.
If you where glasses its probably not for you. I have always heard the opposite. the closer to your eyes the more FOV, and since last night i was able to get things in focus again even on the outside.

I have one of those contoured polyester padded ones. I can’t sleep without it . Not a flat one but the kind with convex eyes so it doesn’t crush my eyelashes.


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KC5DWCC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_m3LWDbHWY6WMS

There are a couple different options in my opinion... A more confrontational approach would be to next time you hear the moaning, casually say something along the lines of, "Hey man.. I'm trying to sleep right now. Can you be quiet?" Any normal person would feel totally embarrassed and be careful to not moan. He probably thinks you are asleep and can't hear him.

OR a less confrontational approach would be to get one of those privacy tents which look a little dumb, but could offer you some nice privacy and a white noise machine to muffle out the noise. Here is a link to buy a a privacy tent and to buy a white noise machine here or just hook your phone up to a speaker and play white noise from youtube. That could also double as a confrontational approach because he might get the hint that you can hear his late night rub down sessions lol. Or just buy some cheap earplugs! The silicone ear plugs legit block out all noise.

Apologies for the late reply.

Nail-biting is an unconscious habit. What I did was try to be more conscious of my self. What I was doing, what I was thinking, when I had anxiety, etc. That's step one. When I bite my nails, it's because I'm so deep inside my own thoughts, my own head, that I don't realize what I'm doing.

If you've got trouble with anxiety, I recommend L-Tryptophan. Works wonders for me.

No, no evidence that two drinks daily will damage anything. The Benadryl in combination will not negatively affect your liver or kidney either.

Consider reviewing and following the guidelines of sleep hygiene which as you will note, recommends against alcohol. You might consider an alternative doxylamine which is the medication in Unisom, without the beers. I have heard of using one tab of Doxylamine and one of Diphenhydramine with good results.

Buy yourself a white noise machine. I bought one when I was living in Brooklyn. I was sick of being woken up by car alarms and random yelling. Blankets the whole room in a soothing "hum".

This bad boy will change your life.

I'm going to start using the mat that I bought 2 years ago!

I don't have trouble falling asleep, I have troubling tucking myself in, so to speak.. I've fallen asleep with the lights on, fully clothed, unshowered, and in uncomfortable positions if I give in to negative self-talk. If I make that choice..

I've even fallen asleep needing to pee! But I try to supress the urge. I think this is because I didn't feel safe getting out of bed at night.

Here are things that help me sleep optimally

1. Eyemask- blocks out the little light my curtains allow. Fits my face well & there is a gap between the mask and my eyes.
   
   
2. No liquids 3 hours before bed. No food 4 hours before bed. Lessens the need for bathroom trips and discomfort from digestion.
   
   
3. 3M Micropore Tape. I tape my mouth to ensure I breathe through my nose & get 18% more oxygen. Numerous benefits. If you ever wake up with dry mouth, look into this.
   
4. COLD Shower. Keep my bed relatively clean and free of dust. Also I dust inbetween my toes with a handtowel as I get into bed.
   
5. Always have earplugs, just in case.
   
6. Lavender oil on my pillow for aromatherapy
   
   
   
   https://www.amazon.com/Compression-Headache-Migraine-Patented-Universal/dp/B001HTYJLO

I take 1000 mg of Ashwagandha (KSM 66 Standardized Extract) with one capsule of CalmAid lavender oil upon waking and 1500 to 2000 mg of Ash every night before bed. It keeps my anxiety levels and panic very manageable. I use LiftMode's theanine as needed on extra stressful days. 200 mg usually lasts 2-3 hours.

Have you tried time release melatonin? I use this brand. I use to have a lot of trouble with insomnia (no more than 5 hours a night for months on end), but if I take one or two of these pills I sleep fantastically. Regular melatonin isn't helpful for me since my problem was waking up in the middle of the night (not falling asleep). The time release helps with that specific problem.

Esto tiene AmazonGlobal que te hace la importación la agencia de envíos, por lo que debería pasar sin problemas

Ahora, si la pregunta es si entra como producto de la franquicia sin impuestos, me genera grandes dudas. Como despachante de aduanas te diría que no.

NTA. This dude lives in an apartment building. It'd be one thing if you were throwing midnight parties or having extremely loud sex at 4 in the morning, but if you're just going about your business? What does he expect when he lives in an apartment building?

If it's worth it to you to stop the stress of him harassing you, you could offer to buy him a cheap white noise machine or something to block out the sound of... your existence. I'm not saying you owe him this, you absolutely don't. But $20 might make this problem go away. It'd mean letting him "get his way", but at the end of the day, worry about yourself. If $20 lets you stay in the apartment, not get harassed, and go about your life as normal? Might be worth it.

Hey JucheRevolution's girlfriend! Knock that shit off. Fans kill! Do you want your boyfriend dead? The worst kind of death? A meaningless FAN death? Curse your black heart JucheRevolution's girlfriend! Leave that fan at a respectable distance.

JucheRevolution: I know they probably don't have these in North Korea but they have white noise machines now for reasonable prices.
