And the steroids for my sinuses aren’t helping matters.
I recently learned about the cognitive shuffle technique. Shit works remarkably well. Something to keep your consciousness engaged while tricking your brain into falling asleep.
(Also reading a book or an e-ink eReader is far better than reading your phone.)
Recently bough an e-ink reader for this exact reason. I’m reading for the first time in almost 10 years and I am falling asleep way quicker and getting better sleep than i have in a loooong time. Best $100 ive spent in awhile.
I have an Amazon paperwhite, will that work? It’s a few years old though.
Yeah, the Paperwhite is not a backlit screen. The light shines down onto the page and reflects back, which is easier on the eyes. Basically the same as if you had a book light.
The newer one can do warmer light, too, but any Paperwhite is good enough.
But seriously try out that cognitive shuffle thing, it’s pretty amazing how well it works for me (as long as I’m tired; I haven’t really tried it when wide awake, that’s when I read).
