@macromeh I dunno. I think most of my painting is based around things from Louisiana. It’s pretty usual. I haven’t painted anything crazy in a long while.
I still haven’t finished this one. I was supposed to finish it when I was down there in May but we spent more time with glass instead. But he’s pretty usual I would say.
Melatonin
Another suggestion for people is Liquid Mind. Ambient music used for sleep therapy. I bought a CD once and it actually had a sticker warning about driving while listening to it.
Past week or so I’ve had luck putting on some celestial white noise vids on youtube. I have to change it up once in a while. Especially since alcohol has been giving me energy instead of getting me drowsy.
Lay awake scrolling through the internet usually obsessed with shopping for more stuff I don’t need. The TV is always on in the background, usually ID investigate true crime stuff, Snapped is a favorite too. Everything is taped, god forbid we watch any commercials, have to fast forward through all of those. My guy is only a semi sleeper too, we talk all night long in between one of us dozing off for a hour or so. Around 5 or 6am the TV gets shut off and we try to get a couple of winks in before the daily grind starts. Never could have imagined that this would be my life in my 50’s!
Stay up to check meh and answer survey questions like these.
@Rueki Every day.
@Fuzzalini 2424 days in row so far. Good way to get you sleepy.
Didn’t we have a similar poll last week?
Listen to a sleep meditation app usually puts me to sleep before the end of the meditation.

@katbyter @remo28 lol I was going to say. I’m not crazy. Just did this. My lack of sleep is horrific but my memory still works. For now.
Listen to old time radio shows.
I’m surprised at how much I enjoyed Our Miss Brooks.

@sillyheathen We’ve seen examples of your artwork and it is anything but usual.

But unusually well done.
@Kyeh @macromeh honestly I thought about asking mom to try to bring him up at Christmas so I can try and finish him.
Sleepy time tea and 90’s to mid 00’s sitcoms (special shout outs to Frasier, Monk, The Office, and That 70’s Show)
Drink some wine.
Mindless games on my tablet until it drops on my chest.
Why wasn’t masturbate an choice?

Get mad at my boss for not letting me sleep.
@yakkoTDI
Distract the Boss with cat treats in the kitchen, and then escape back to bed and close the door.

@tweezak The video just sat here buffering, I though that was what put you to sleep!

I get up and read for a while in the recliner and usually end up falling asleep there.
Plan a cruise.
I count all of my wins from the Meh fantasy football league, which I was also dominating in last year around this time. Darn playoffs.

As someone with a 4 month old, I’d say feed the screaming baby and hope she passes out.
@show_the_maw while you’re one hand phoning meh? Very impressive
Keep laying in bed with my eyes closed hoping I’ll fall asleep soon.
Read a book on economics, or the history of Canada, or something…
Click my Meh calendar, sudoko, read.
Gonna have to go with Bourbon again.
Find something I really want to watch on TV. It puts me to sleep every time.
@dyounghbic I find Nova (PBS) particularly useful for that.
Get up and walk around
Read (the Old Testament is good if you’re serious about sleep) until I drop the book or tablet/Kindle, play a video game until I drop the controller.
have another drink, switch podcasts, or play videogame
