BREAKING CHARACTER REAL QUICK FOR A SLEEP SUPPLEMENT PSA FOR MY FELLOW VAMPIRES AND NIGHT OWLS:
so I've had chronic insomnia since early childhood and the only thing that helps me fall asleep without the "oh, I've been drugged" feeling is melatonin
and never once have I seen any instructions on the bottle anything beyond "take at or before bedtime"
EXCEPT
my doctor tells me last week that you're not supposed to do this otherwise it really fucks with your circadian rhythms! apparently the optimal time to take melatonin is around sunset (if you want to be asleep by 10pm-12am) because darkness is what naturally stimulates the brain to secrete melatonin
taking it too late (i.e., past 9pm if you intend to sleep around 11pm and wake up at 7am) can majorly screw up your circadian rhythm and keep you feeling groggy and sleepy af well into the day!!! which explains a lot for me personally — not the whole picture but certainly some of it! 
so what I've been doing is I take my regular dose as soon as I notice it's dark outside (around 7:45pm these days) and I start getting sleepy around 10pm-11pm depending on the day I've had. I'm fucking full on passing out by midnight, like phone falling on my face, gotta sleep now. and my sleep isn't perfect but it's a lot better than it was! I get a solid unbroken 6-7 hours stretch which is huge for me and I don't feel like death warmed over needing both vyvanse and caffeine to even think about functioning!
anyway if you already knew this then GOOD FOR YOU BUDDY WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME AT ANY POINT IN THE PAST 15 YEARS and if not, I hope you try it out and it helps even a bit! 🖤

In an interesting turn of botanical events, University of Houston engineers report that while melatonin keeps us asleep, it wakes up plants, helping them grow. Melatonin, a hormone produced in the brain and reproduced synthetically in labs, is America's sleep drug of choice, taken by roughly 27% of U.S. adults. It helps control the body's circadian rhythm or internal clock, signaling you that it's time to go to bed. "Melatonin has emerged as a pivotal molecule in agriculture due to its ability to promote plant growth and alleviate abiotic stresses," says Adbul Latif Khan, assistant professor of engineering technology. The study is published in the journal iScience. Imad Aijaz, a graduate student of Khan's, is the paper's first author.

trying to pull a prank on my girlfriend by putting my son melatonin in the hallway next to our bedroom waiting for her to wake up, except it's backfiring because i keep seeing something vaguely human shaped in the corner of my eye and looking over so quick i can hear my neck snap

Sooo I’ve been seeing people do this thing and I have some stuff I need to do but no motivation so if I get the notes I guess I’ll do the thing and then make posts as proof?
1 note and I will eat a nice salad
5 notes and I will clean my bathroom very well
10 notes and I will finally learn Lavender by Penelope Scott on my piano
25 notes and I will finally finish ACD A Study In Scarlet
50 notes and I will pick out a color and paint my room so it doesn’t look as depressing
75 notes and I will start setting alarms so I wash my face at least once a day
100 notes and I will start working out at least twice a week
125 notes and I will try to fix my sleep schedule
150 notes and I will start cutting back on my screen time
200 notes and I will start studying at least 20 minutes a day
250 notes and I will start putting in the effort to be good at art instead of just waiting for me to get motivation that leaves halfway through a project because I have not practiced and therefore have no skills(maybe I could make a series of posts trying different thing)
300 notes and I will cut back on my melatonin usage
350 notes and I will directly tell that one girl that will not leave me alone no matter how many hints I give that I don’t want her to be near me
400 notes and I will try to start getting therapy I can’t afford that but my school has a counseling thing I could try ig
500 notes and I will tell my girlfriend about my insecurities we broke up but I technically did it
I don’t know how much of this I will do from the post because I usually get under 200 for fandom posts and under 20 for more personal ones but idk
Y'know, with taylor swift's new album release or whatever, it reminds me of a weird dream I had while I was sick and accidentally took melatonin and strong cbd oil. She had released a 37-track album that was purely rap, and it was awful . She was so proud of it going talk shows and saying she reinvented the whole genre. People were pissed and Twitter was awful. swifties were doing black face to pretend to be black people to defend it or using Ai to make up black people to support it. DJ kalid was also featured and defended her a LOT. it was strange . But then SZA released a 47-track rap and country album, and it was beautiful like transcendent it blew taylor out of the water. There wasn't even discourse about her because SZA's album was so good. Taylor lost her shit she had a massive public break down she was using slurs, stalking SZA, going days without eating or taking care of her self she looked like that doll from rugrats Cynthia I think. It was Bad. SZA was unbothered she didn't respond publicly she was purely promoting her new album and posting like normal shit. Taylor released another album that was even longer like 52-tracks about hating SZA and it was a huge deal like global news coverage for some reason, SZA was asked on a late night talk show how she left about it, was she okay, and she dodged every question until everybody was on the edge of their seats and the hosts like yelled out " FOR GODS SAKE HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT ?!" and she just responded," Who?" And fucking ascended.
