put on a silk nightgown, fill up my bedside pitcher with water and place a glass alongside it, water-floss and brush my teeth, wash my face and moisturize, put my hair up in a ponytail with a silk scrunchie. I sleep with a heated blanket underneath my bed coverlet just to feel something. I usually wear sleep headphones that are also a blackout eye mask (I listen to rain sounds) but my dog just stole and destroyed the second one in a row so I am feeling like god doesn’t think I deserve nice things. My body wakes me up at the same exact time every morning on the dot no matter how late I stay up (which I often do) and lately it’s been 8:00 am. Sometimes if I’m feeling saucy I’ll do an evening yin yoga session

lucius if you’re being silly and talking about magnesium it relaxes my muscles and has a sedative effect but funny that you say that because I just bought a toothpaste that has silver in it for some reason. it straight up tastes like metal but I kind of love it

lucius I bought it mainly because it has xylitol CoQ10 and hydroxyapatite and it does feel nice on my gums. I’ve been experimenting with different toothpastes in this vein for a while but this is my first with xylitol which has strong research about its efficacy in balancing the oral micro biome so it’s only been a few days but I shall see…

Perks of setting my own work schedule lol…
I would recommend the shittiest lowest quality magnesium you can buy because the less bioavailable it is the sleepier it will make you—take more than you think you need but be careful because it will likely make you shit yourself but that’s part of its charm. If that sounds too powerful and you’re afraid try magnesium glycinate ;)
Try avoiding stimulating things at night and I would say you should probably meditate; there are a lot of guided bedtime meditations on YouTube—perhaps pair with a legs up the wall pose or you could even do yin yoga which I try to do every night. Maybe take a relaxing bath. Your nervous system is probably going crazy so I would say reducing stressors could also probably help. I take rhodiola rosea, ashwagandha, and phosphatidyl serine for my cortisol levels but check for drug interactions with anything you take. Big fan of L-Theanine too…

Like in Calm chews or capsules, taken at 9 pm (see what time that has you fall asleep). Or magnesium in your bath, if a bath relaxes you anyway. Then do a quick vagal tone exercise routine once in bed - it’s crazy how it works, totally thought it was BS until I tried it. And be sure to go OUTSIDE to get sunlight by 10am every day (I’m bad about this, but even going later is better than none).

Good news and bad news. Bad news is that I’m not good at restful sleep, but the good news is I have a very active dream life. I’ve always experienced a lot of deja vu and stuff, but the last several years have gotten weird. More and more of it has been coming back to this side of consciousness with me, and I’m becoming more capable of navigating my dreams… Anyway. It’s hard to get to sleep and harder to stay asleep. This powder is effervescent in cold or warm water, and the specific fizzy tartness triggers that pavlovian “winding down for bedtime” yawn in our home.. Magnesium tenderly tells my nervous system to be cool and let me rest, so for the first half of the night I’m resting sound asleep and when I wake up, it is not with my heart racing with anxiety, which allows me to slip back under into a dream state where I’m shaping the architecture and my autonomy from first person. I have this Oura ring which tracks my sleep— my heart rate, temperature, how many times I wake up, how much time I’m spending in REM versus deep sleep— and I’m obsessed with that. Wait make this about Oura not Magnesium. Wait make it about sleep in general. don‘t make it about dreams you ain’t ready to know about that. But yeah I’ve been putting magnesium in my water.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
