Yesterday (the night of April 13th) I didn't get any sleep and tried to get through the day as normal. I thought I'd share my efforts with you :)

When we haven’t had enough sleep, our constructed boundaries sort of slip away, and we are more delirious, but still kind of sane. It was beautiful to see you in the state of mind, where you we’re still being productive, yet you we’re adding creative sides to it, of things you wouldn’t normally do.

[@amyr3293]

Ruby, I really like your videos, and honestly, as a teacher I wish anyone in my class loved learning as much as you, but I just wanted to mention that you shouldn’t feel like you have to justify or apologise for wanting to watch TV for a few hours because it’s not productive. If it brought you joy, helped your mind switch off or was just something you wanted to do, it WAS productive, and you should be proud you did it.

[@TheBlueClover2012]

You can try writing all your thoughts on a journal right b4 bed time. Then, download a sleep meditation app from playstore n listen as you sleep. I also used to listen to relaxing audiobooks for half an hour (apps usually have a sleep timer) while lying in bed. There is a free one called Librivox, it has many classic stories read by volunteers. I used to listen to Anne of Green Gables or Little Women. It helps keep my mind of my own life and focus on a fictional character's life instead. But never read/listen to stories that are too exciting/addicting as that would make your insomnia worse. I hope this helps.
