Insomnia.

Last night I couldn't sleep. I tried and failed at about 1 a.m. I just couldn't stop thinking about comic strip ideas for my comic strip nobody reads, which is really funny because I want to resume them. So five comics later, I finally fell asleep after 5 a.m. Yes, I worked for four hours to make 5 comic strips. They are Sunday-type ones. I replaced my handwriting with Arial font. I cleaned up the drawings, I colored them. A lot goes into it.

 

I woke up at about 3 p.m. The tree people came and cut down the tree. It was quite the production, and very noisy. I had my window open because I was hot in my room. I worked on the beginning of the end of my Burgers game. No more updates will be posted on the website. I want the ending to be a surprise.

 

My Brainchild came in the mail today after about three weeks of waiting. I put in the Math Story Problems cartridge and turned it on. It works very nicely. What it does. It's kind of like a Tiger Quiz Wiz only instead of looking the question up in a book, it is displayed in text on the screen. And it's not trivia, but stuff to help kids study. I got a question right, just to test it. I am beginning to regret the purchase though, since I have no way of attempting to make a homebrew Brainchild game. The graphics: There are none. It's all text. Lovely lovely text.

Insomnia is difficult. I've struggled with it my whole life. Have you tried melatonin? It helps me fall asleep.

I've dealt with it on and off over the years, but I'm in a pretty good state now.  Melatonin + unisom almost every night, and another medication for a different issue but it impacts sleep.  One random little thing that surprisingly has helped me lately is focusing on breathing slowly.  Count seconds for each in and out breath and try to do them evenly and as long as possible. I don't count anymore, but just focus on breathing slowly.


Generally, stress is the biggest factor. Not being able to shut my brain off when I wake up randomly in the middle of the night.
