When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.
Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.
What are your own examples of this?
Don’t put sugar in your tea - don’t drink calories.
If sweetening with artificial sweeteners tastes “bitter”, try a trick: Use packets of multiple types - one “equal”, one sucralose, one stevia, for example. You get the sweetness from each and not enough of the background bitterness (which is different).
That’s the main reason Coke Zero is pretty good as compared to Diet Coke - different formula, but they use two artificial sweeteners and get that affect - sweetness from two sources with half the bitterness (since each is different).
Oh no! Not the 48 calories! In my 0.7 giant fucving mug of tea! My diet is ruined!
Like, seriously?
You understand that most of the beverages are far less calorie-dense than your average snack, meal, or whatever, right? And that our stomach capacity is limited? Once you drink enough of even the sweetest tea, you won’t have the room for anything more dense for some time.
