fuckin’ normies with their 12-8s and normal sleeping hours. get nasty with it! currently i’m really into taking a 1-3 hour nap in the evening (no earlier than 5, no later than 8) and then waking up to do an additional 3-4 hours of being alive, then sleeping from 2-7.
i am tired all the time.

I have good sleep hygiene. I sleep 8 hours a night. It's not really anyone's business what they are. I shape my life around my preferred sleeping hours and repetitive exclamations of how I'm up so late and get up so late are a harbinger of social dullness. 8 hours a night, 16 hours of wakefulness. Some people are just different. That's kindergarten stuff.

My sleep routines are complete chaos. in the couple years after being diagnosed with CFS I managed to get a routine that was: bath, meditate, read, journal, sleep. No phone for an hour before bed, I’d literally leave it downstairs. Audiobook to sleep. I think back to this with bemused fondness. During this time I was incredibly isolated so didnt really have anyone to message or things to look at on my phone anyway. As soon as I had friends, a group chat, a boyfriend, a life etc that all goes out the window. I am all or nothing. life is simply too stimulating for my brain, having passions and relationships is exciting and when I have them (which thank god I do though) I am thinking about and interacting with them always. My bedtime routine is sometimes good and I’ll read and journal and sleep well. At others I’m up scrolling til 2am, I sometimes watch ASMR to sleep, if I’m really feeling bad I’ll watch Howl’s Moving Castle. Some days I just put on an audiobook and sleep immediately, others I’m fighting for my life until the wee hours. i am a fully grown adult who once had to go on sleeping pills because I couldn’t stop compulsively knitting until 7am during a particularly stressful and exciting essay deadline week. Depending on my pain/exhaustion/adrenaline levels my bedtime can be anywhere from 10pm to 3am. I have never fully written this out, and despite all this I have never really considered myself someone who struggles with sleep lmao.

Videos. Journals. Planners. Calendars. Playlists. Spreadsheets. Letters to open in the future.
Keeping track of the present (in a way that is low stakes and fun) keeps me from dwelling on the past or feeling upset about changing. It will be there for me if and when I want to return to it! And I get to dip into the things I have thought and felt and loved in the past and maybe they become part of my life again or they don't!
I also love to experiment with form in the ways that I record myself. Journals are a classic, but doing something like journaling in a planner with limited space or on a calendar means you have to pick just one memory from each day. Or making playlists / watchlists / reading lists of what's important to you at a time. Embarking upon fun little challenges of discovery (places, songs, books, movies, foods) and keeping track of what you learn in an organized (or disorganized) way! Video journals or little vlogs just for yourself! Scrapbooking!
Fun in the moment to create and fun in the future to rediscover.

it’s a shit game so if you’re gonna play it at least go for a little “nice to come home” when you land on one of your own properties
