When I worked for a crisis line the busiest hours were 10-6. Thinking about it, a lot of grief in my life would have been avoided if I was just asleep.

Going to bed at like 10 though. My work has been crazy and I am most productive in the morning and if I do need to run errands it is nice to be alert by the time businesses are opening. Also my cat gets hungy early.

Being late to work, being late to life, being late because the bed is singing the song of the sirens.

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.

Tell them to clear a day, plan out a nice (surprise) day together, drive them around and pay for everything. This doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive you can take them to get pie and sit on a nice rock to watch the sunset. Frankly a lot of people (esp people that have had a lifetime to gather things) don’t need more shit, and the best gift to give is novelty and a deepening of the relationship.

There was a sweet magazine shop big little news that TRAGICALLY closed, that’s where I used to go to find physical magazines.
If you have any interest in fashion, Viscose journal is great.
