Getting Back On Track – Part 3/5: Sleep Hygiene

Let me preface this by saying I struggle a lot with sleep. Falling asleep and waking up rested? I don’t know her. My sleep schedule is atrocious. So these tips are HARD TESTED by a professional anxious insomniac. If you sleep easily, I hate you. Scroll past this.

🌙 The Sleeping Pills Myth

A lot of people think, “I have insomnia, I’ll just ask for sleeping pills and I’ll sleep like a baby.” Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. In most cases, poor sleep is 1000% about your sleep hygiene, not a medical condition. Of course, talk to your doctor, but be prepared to hear that the issue is your behavior, not your body.

Also, there’s no such thing as a real “sleeping pill.” Most are meds for other conditions that make you drowsy. If they work, they basically knock you out as if you’ve drugged. You wake up feeling hangover with a side of weird dreams, or nightmares. Forget waking up rested and refreshed, most people feel wrecked.

So yes, your doctor might focus on sleep hygiene instead. And you might think, “I already know the tips.” But have you actually followed them? Consistently? Because like with fitness or nutrition, it takes months to see real results.

🌙 How poor sleep causes weight gain:

Your circadian rhythm is your internal clock. It controls sleep, metabolism, and hormone balance, not just melatonin and cortisol, but also leptin, ghrelin, and insulin.

• ↑ Cortisol → belly fat, muscle breakdown, slower metabolism

• ↑ Insulin resistance → more fat storage, cravings, fatigue

• ↓ Leptin + ↑ Ghrelin → constant hunger, 300–500 extra cals/day

• Disrupted circadian rhythm → hormone imbalance, night cravings

• ↓ Leptin + ↑ Ghrelin → constant hunger, 300–500 extra cals/day

🌙 Signs you have poor sleep hygiene:

• Groggy despite 7–9 hours of sleep

• Wired at night, exhausted in the morning

• Cravings, emotional eating, late-night snacking

• Afternoon crashes and sugar cravings

• Inconsistent wake times

🌙 The 3 non-negotiables :

1. Your bed is for sleep only: not food, not scrolling, not binge watching shows.

2. If you can’t fall asleep in 20 minutes, get out of bed. Do something non-stimulating (like reading a nonfiction book), then come back when you feel sleepy.

3. Fix your circadian rhythm:

• Wake and sleep at the same time every day, even weekends

• No caffeine after 12pm (tea and matcha included if you’re sensitive)

• Avoid naps (if you must, max 30 min)

• Workout in the morning or at least end it 3 hours before bed

• Avoid screens 60–90 minutes before bed

• Stop eating 2–3 hours before sleep (helps with cortisol too)

• Wind down 1 hour before bed: dim lights, do calming activities, follow a repeated routine (e.g., skincare -> brush teeth -> braindump in a journal -> dim lights, prayers)

Stick with this for months. Not days. Build slowly, one habit at a time.

🌙 How to know you’re sleeping enough:

The magical 8 hours for sleep doesn’t actually apply to everyone. Here are ways you can determine how many hours of sleep you need:

1) Experimentally:

The best way in my opinion is to experiment. During your next vacation sleep at a reasonable hour every night and let yourself sleep in without an alarm (you might have a sleep debt). As days go by, you’ll see you’ll wake up naturally at a certain time feeling ready to start your day (it does take everybody a few minutes to shake off sleep grogginess so do not expect to rise and pop with energy right away).

2) Mathematically:

Another option: calculate your average sleep cycle (via an app or smartwatch), multiply by 5 or 6 (ideal number of cycles per night), then add 15 minutes. Example: 95 minutes x 5 + 15 = 8 hours and 10 minutes. This gives you a rough idea of your ideal sleep window. But if you’re under stress, your needs may increase — listen to your body.

3) Leave it to an app:

I use the Rise Sleep app to track my patterns, sleep debt, energy dips, melatonin windows, and more. It helps me plan around my natural rhythms.

🌙 How to know you’re sleeping well:

Good sleep quality means falling asleep in 15–30 minutes, staying asleep through the night, and waking up feeling refreshed. If you still feel tired or rely on caffeine despite 7–9 hours of sleep, your quality may be poor. Track how long it takes to fall asleep, how often you wake up, and how you feel in the morning. Your physical and emotional state is the best indicator.

🌙 My MVP advice:

Don’t do anything in your bed except sleep. Your brain needs to associate it with sleep only.

I even extend that rule to my whole room. I keep it simple and cozy: just a bed with fluffy blankets and pillows, a bedside table, sunrise/sunset lamp, a few books, and a cozy armchair. And very few decorative items: one candle, a couple of photo frames, a vase of flowers.

No clocks, no visible electronics, no blinking lights: no clutter, no overloaded makeup table, no overflowing shelves. I keep a laundry basket in the closet so the armchair doesn’t become THE chair. (You know the the chair, we all had that chair.) No plants either because the soil can attract insects.

If you live with your parents and can’t move your desk elsewhere, just try to keep it clean and tape over blinking lights on electronics.

Your sleeping space is SACRED. It's your restorative sanctuary, which leads to my next point:

🌙 Your sleeping environment: think 5 senses

1. Vision

• Dim the lights, use a sunrise/sunset lamps

• Dark room: blackout curtains, cover up light sources

• Keep the room uncluttered: clear space, clear mind

2. Touch

• Cooler temps (18–20°C) help you fall asleep faster

• Fresh crispy linens make a big difference

• If you have sensitive skin like me, use unscented detergent and allergen-proof bedding to avoid that nightly itchiness.

3. Sound

• Obviously calm and quiet, praying your upstairs neighbours are nice.

• Sometimes complete silence feels too oppressive, try white or brown noise (my fave are ocean waves). Calm app is great, Cillian Murphy’s bedtime story knocks me out every time

• Podcasts or Qur’an help when I’m anxious (though I prefer to be more attentive when listening to Qur’an)

4. Scent

• Air out the room daily : fresh air beats any sprays, oxygenate that room.

• Avoid strong perfumes, smoke, or candles with harmful chemicals

• Subtle lavender on your pillow or sheets works well, sometimes I put a little Febreze in the morning. Smells are strong cues for your brain to understand it’s time to sleep, so keep the scent on your bed unique to your sleep routine.

5. Taste

• Stupid detail but toothpaste signals “bedtime” for me.

• Keep water nearby to avoid middle-of-the-night trips

• Herbal teas (chamomile, lavender, valerian) can help

• Warm milk with honey is comforting but careful for sugars

• Bananas are rich in potassium — helpful for sleep — but maybe skip the sugar

🌙 Other things that help

1. Supplements

• Melatonin is a hit or miss for people, if you use it then time it properly (1–2 hours before bed)

• Magnesium, ashwagandha, and L-theanine can support relaxation and may help with slee

• Always ask your doctor before starting supplements (especially if pregnant)

2. Stretching

• Do a quick session before bed (check my workout post for routines)

3. Brain dump

• Write down everything floating in your mind so it doesn’t keep you up, it’s a great tool for my overthinking brain.

4. Repetition

• Dhikr and salawat help me calm down

• Knitting, crocheting, or other repetitive motions work too if you aren’t addicted to it.

5. Reading

• I aim for 10 verses or one page of Qur’an before bed (you can do a full khatm in 2 years this way)

• Prefer nonfiction to avoid staying up all night binge-reading

6. Mandalas or coloring books

• Also crosswords, unless you’re too obsessive about finishing them

Finally, don’t try to do everything. Start with two or three habits. Stay consistent. Reevaluate and adjust as you go. You got this, sweet dreams!

More Than the Adventure!

Alright, you've got your adventurers traveling across a kingdom of your creation fighting bad guys, earning treasure, exploring dangerous ruins. What more could you ask for? While the adventure is the main goal and doing that well is a big achievement, have you considered what fun could be had outside of the main adventure?

It can be easy to get nervous as a GM and think that if your players doing quest related action all the time that people won't have as much fun, but you might be surprised at the simple things your players can enjoy role playing. Now maybe you stick very closely to action scenes because you and your group are not very comfortable or practiced in role playing. That's totally fine. I want to suggest some simple ways that you spend some time outside of the main adventure and still have fun. Whether you've created a world the PCs have known all their lives or if you've taken them to a new land of wonder, remember that these environments should have activities to offer and culture to be shared. Let me share a short example:

After your defense of the temple, the monks and priestesses ask you to join them in a celebration ceremony to honor their deity and good fortune. You are welcomed into a large room with marble floors and beautiful streaming silks hanging on the walls. You take seats on plush floor pillows and watch a well-practiced prayer ceremony. Afterwards, everyone leads you into another room with a large pool and boards fixed over the water. They inform you that their ceremonial dance takes place on these beams and if you fall in then you will have given all the effort you can to honor their god. They tell you that the dance will become increasingly complex as the music continues before asking you to change into robes. Okay, everyone, so we are going to roleplay your characters trying to follow this dance and make a series of Dex and Athletics rolls to see how long you last.

Have some fun! Play up the embarrassment, make it a competition, take a priest down in the water with you. Small activities like this can be a big hit with your players, and they also make your fantasy world more immersive. It gives players a chance to play into their character's personalities and really get in that head space.

Here's a list of things you could do (this certainly is not everything):

Culturally significant activities like above

Carnival games

Non-combat challenges (such as: log rolling, boulder tossing, or obstacle courses.)

Card or board games. Look up some authentic medieval card games and let the characters play a hand while they meet with a contact in the tavern.

Taking part in a play or doing something artistic

Let your bard perform at the tavern

Spellcasters can put on a show for kids

Spend some time roleplaying a party

Drinking games

The list could go on and on, there is no limit to the possibilities. If you're running a full campaign for your group, then I highly suggest mixing in activities like this often. At least give players the option. I'm writing a professional campaign right now, and I'm starting off with all social interaction and activities, and not just "you meet in a tavern." Try to be as creative with your social environments and activities as you are with your adventures.

If you or your group are not so comfortable with role playing, then here are some suggestions on how to change this. First, you should open up a dialogue with your group about role playing. Ask people how much experience they've had and what they're comfortable with. This will determine how much real role playing you'll do in your game. Start slow and don't put people on the spot. If everyone agrees that they want to build comfort and skill, then you can promote more in-depth roleplay. Try this: agree to have one role play practice interaction with each player each session. This is 2-3 minutes where a player has a conversation or interaction with an NPC. The rules are that all dialogue must be spoken in your character's voice, only actions are described in third person, and imagery or emotion is encouraged. Try to have one of these with each character in a session and encourage players to play like this as often as possible. Most importantly, remember to always have fun! Nothing is more important that!

As usual, you can contact me if you have any further questions or if you'd like to see me write a post on a specific topic. I am now writing general TTRPG supplements and creating maps. You can find them on my Ko-Fi page!

this is a breakdown of how i go about doing research for my essays! do keep in mind i am an arts student, so i don’t know how well this method carries over into other disciplines. check out my other guides to writing essays here and here!

[thoodleoo]

i'd love to get you started on roman case law, tell me everything

oh man, i was waiting for somebody to ask me about this

roman case law is actually where a large chunk of our knowledge about roman law comes from. basically, roman case law consists of individual cases which are studied by ancient experts on the law- people like ulpian, celsus, gaius, and so on. these experts- called jurors- discuss the laws related to cases in order to determine whether or not something is actually breaking a law, who is at fault, what the consequences should be, etc.

now, this sounds like it might be kind of boring, but i need you to hang with me, because it’s actually amazing. that’s partly because these cases tend to fall into one of three types: the real, the practically theoretical, and the absurdly theoretical.

the real is pretty much what it sounds like. these are cases that appear to be actual problems that the jurors were asked to solve. they tend to talk about rather mundane things- they frequently fall under the lex aquilia on property, and they’re about the sort of arguments you would expect to encounter

the practically theoretical refers to cases that we aren’t sure are actual cases set forth by the jurors. as you can expect, a lot of jurors practice their knowledge of the law by coming up with problems to solve. there’s a lot that goes into solving a case- what laws apply, whether or not someone is at fault, and to what extent they are at fault. this gets further complicated when you add in that laws tended to have different applications based on social status- for example, a master was generally punished for the fault of his slave, and some laws had harsher consequences for people of lower social status (typical ancient rome tbh).

all of which is to say that sometimes jurors seem to be playing around with potential scenarios- things that might not happen commonly, but are likely enough that they warrant discussion. one of my favorite examples of this is when ulpian talks about a pregnant woman boarding a ship. if she gives birth on the ship, should she have to pay fare for the baby? ulpian ultimately says no, because a baby is so small that it doesn’t take up much space, and besides that, it isn’t really going to be consuming supplies. you get some silly scenarios out of this, but they’re not unreasonable.

then you move onto the absurdly theoretical- cases that throw in so many bizarre complications that we aren’t sure if they’re real situations or just things that jurors are doing for fun. this is where we get such fun cases as jurors arguing about whether or not it’s the barber’s fault if he cuts your throat while shaving you in an area where people play ball and the ball knocks the blade into your throat. these are particularly interesting because everyone seems to have a different opinion on this (they’re all @’ing each other after all), including those who think it’s your own damn fault if you go to a barber who frequently sets up his shaving business in an area where unpredictable projectiles are a common occurrence.

now, that would be fun enough on its own, except it gets even better when you add in the fact that people have always been people and sometimes the lawyers get a little vitriolic. celsus and julian in particular seem to have a lot of disagreement, to the point that julian says about one of celsus’s rulings that ‘if someone thinks that my decision is preposterous, let him consider that it would be far more preposterous if neither [party] was liable.” julian literally vagueblogs about celsus’s ruling on a ridiculously complicated case and it’s amazing that, 2000 years later, we can read this ancient roman law fandom drama.

so while actually reading roman laws can be fun when they’re preserved, it can be even more entertaining to watch a bunch of dead guys wearing togas argue about whether or not you can legally tear down your neighbor’s house to make a firebreak.

[thoodleoo]

useless ancient roman law facts

if you call someone to witness and they refused to show up, you are legally entitled to stand outside their house and scream, but only every third day

you can sell your son into slavery once or twice, but after the third time he doesn’t have to put up with that shit anymore

no wailing allowed at funerals

also you can only have ONE funeral per person, don’t get greedy

if your neighbor’s tree has a branch hanging into your yard, you can legally cut down the entire fucking tree

however, if some of your neighbor’s fruit from his dumb tree falls into your yard, he can legally come into your yard to snoop around get it

if you call someone to witness and they’re too sick or old to get to court themselves, you have to provide a cart for them to come in, but it doesn’t have to be, like, a nice cart if you don’t want it to

[thoodleoo]

i’ve been looking at the 12 tables again for a lesson i’m planning and can i just say that early roman law is the fucking wildest thing ever? like some of the laws are pretty self-explanatory things like “you can’t put someone to death without trial” but then the text immediately turns around and comes out with shit like “if somebody writes a song making fun of you you are legally entitled to beat them to death”

[thoodleoo]

there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

6 Things People Don't Always Tell You About Studying

1. you ace tests by overlearning. you should know your notes/flashcards/definitions basically by heart. if someone asks you about a topic when you’re away from class or your notes and you can answer them in a thorough and and accurate answer, then you’re good, you know the material. 

2. if you don’t understand something, it will end up on the test. so just don’t disregard and hope that this specific topic won’t be on the test. give it more attention, help, and practice. find a packet of problems on that one concept and don’t stop until you finish it and know it the best. 

3. sometimes you just need that Parental Push. you know in elementary school, they would tell you “ok now it’s time for you to do your homework! you have a project coming up, start looking for a topic now!” ONE of your teachers might be like this. be thankful for it and follow their advice! these teachers are the best at always keeping you on track with their calendar. if not a teacher, then have one of your friends be that person that can keep you accountable for the things you promised you would do. 

4. you just need to kick your own ass. seriously. i know it sucks and its hard to study for two things at once. BUT. I DONT CARE IF IT’S HARD. you need to do it and at least do it to get it over with because you can’t keep putting things off. If you do, you will eventually run out of time and you will hate yourself. force yourself to do it. i made myself sign up for june ACT even though there’s finals because if i didn’t, i probably never would. like do i think i’m gonna be ready in one month? probably not, SO I BETTER GET ON IT AND START STUDYING! 

5. do homework even if it doesn’t count. if you actually try on it, then you will actually do so much better on the tests, it’s like magic. 

6. literally just get so angry about procrastinating that you make yourself start that assignment. I know how hard it is to kick the procrastination habit. I have to procrastinate. So I make myself start by thinking about my deadlines way early. I think, “oh i have a presentation in three weeks (but it really takes 2 weeks to do), i’ll be good and start today.” when that doesn’t happen, you say you’ll do it tomorrow, and this happens for like the next four days. I get so mad at myself for not starting when i am given a new chance to do so with every passing day. By that time, you actually have exactly how much time you need for it AND you were able to procrastinate the same way you usually do ;)

Hybrid Note Taking Style

A note taking method that blends the best of paper and digital note taking that I’ve been exploring lately. So far it’s working really well for me :) Hope it helps! 

Hybrid Note Taking Method

Problems with other note taking systems

Each note taking system has its pros and cons. Here are some of the problems I found with (fully) paper and (fully) digital note taking systems.

Paper

Can’t use the search function on your notes.

Can’t add images and other types of digital files easily.

Difficult to keep overview between notebooks.

Can’t share these as easily as digital notes.

Digital

Not as ‘romantic’.

Sometimes less engaging.

Lack of physical presence can lead to you forgetting about it.

Can be more difficult to do things like sketching, making schemes, making illustrations etc.

Benefits of Hybrid

I like using hybrid methods because they bring you the best of both worlds.

Easily searchable.

Information in your notes is traceable.

Makes it easier to find and carry out actions e.g. finding extra info.

Doesn’t damage books.

Allows you to embed different types of files.

What you’ll need

Source material (e.g. book, academic paper)

Any kind of notebook :)

Digital note-taking app → I like Notion (it’s free).

Step 1 - Read & number the material

As you go, use a pencil to lightly put numbers into the margins whenever you deem something worthy of noting down or remembering. This will help you locate the source of specific parts of your notes later.

Step 2 - Write Q&A-style notes

Write the information down in question-and-answer style. Come up with useful questions that link to the material you want to remember (e.g. Q → What is the main problem with using platform-based planning for new ventures? A → Assumptions underlying the plan are used as fact rather than best-guess estimates to be tested and questioned). Use the numbers you placed in the margin of the pages to specify the source of the information you used for each answer.

Example → Chapter 1 page 27 note 3 becomes 1.p27.3

Step 3 - Write actions as you go (Supporting notes)

Supporting notes

Write down your thoughts, anything you’re curious about, things you want to look up, things you’re confused about, actions you’ve been inspired to do, etc. For example → ?m Maybe I can apply this to my visualization assignment? / ! Look up what 'plurality of the future’ is / fex Organizational transformation through design. I find this a great way to support and manage the learning process.

Action key

Keep a small action key in which you have an overview of what your action marks mean (e.g. ?m→ questions to myself, f → find, fex → find example, ?? → I don’t get it, ! → general actions)

Don’t be afraid to customize your actions!

What you’ll get

Actionable notes

Your paper notes will contain a structured and easy to read overview of actionable items that came up during the reading. This can be questions you need answered, reminders to find specific information, etc. This will make them a lot harder to forget to do!

Easily traceable sources

With the codes you’ll be able to tell easily and quickly where the information you’ve written in your notes came from.

Searchable & review-ready notes

Notes will be (mostly) made in question-and-answer style. This will allow you to easily review using active recall. All you need to do is cover/hide the answer and you can check how well you truly know the material.

Thanks for reading!

[candlelight-studies]

Manifestation-Methods That Have Worked For Me

Subliminals

listening to a few subs only

rarely ever changing up playlist

only listening when my vibrations are at high frequency

visualising my results as I am listening

mostly listening while on the bus/car or when I am studying

I have used subliminals successfully and achieved satisfying results for good grades, manifesting a friendship, becoming better at ballet and more!

Scripting

started using scripting method wayy later

scripting split in half:

one half for achievements & gratefulness for the things that have already happened,

the other half of my entry consists of manifesting future events

a lot of gratitude toward universe

write positively about what I am manifesting

"I am so incredibly happy that ..."; "Finally, I can/have/.... I am genuinely grateful for..."

I like to 'personally' thank the universe

With scripting, I manifested being the best at an exam, good grades in general, a friendship, certain people getting in contact with me etc.!

3/6/9-Method

used two times so far

369 for manifesting relationships etc.

3× name

6× goal

For example:

3. Julia Julia Julia

6. Julia and I are best friends. Julia and I are best friends. Julia and I are best friends. Julia and I are best friends. Julia and I are best friends. Julia and I are best friends.

9. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me. Julia starts a conversation with me.

I manifested getting closer with certain people with the help of the 369-Method!

[heavenlyyshecomes]

“The fall of a language is set in motion when [bilinguals] begin to take more seriously what they read in English. It is set in motion when, for example, they turn to English-language media to learn about critical international events and use the media of their own country only to find out the results of home sports games or follow home celebrity gossip. It's set in motion when bilinguals hurry to order a heavyweight English-language book attracting media attention before it comes out in translation, while neglecting fine books written in their own language. (Watching American or British television dramas rather than their own is not unconnected to this process.) Finally, because they have gradually become accustomed to making light of what is written in their own language, bilinguals start taking their own country’s literature less seriously than literature written in English—especially the classics of English literature, which are evolving into the universal canon. A vicious cycle then begins. The more palpable this trend becomes, the more non-English writers would feel that writing in their own language will not reach the readers they are aiming for. [...] Through the process of negative selection, writers who continue writing in their own language would be those whose books do not deserve to be called texts. This cycle, once it began, could only gain in force. Not only bilinguals but true readers of literature—not mere consumers of books—would eventually cease to expect their own language to bear the intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic burdens it once did.”
