How Do You Fight Insomnia? My 10 Tips.

Tempur-Pedic asked me to track my sleep habits with a Fitbit and share the results. This is the first time I have been paid to sleep, but I have made it a professional goal to pursue further opportunities in this field. You know how to reach me. Raise your hand if you ever have trouble sleeping. Actually, if it’s 3 a.m. you can let your hand fall listlessly by your side, I already saw you on Twitter. A few of you have asked me how I like my Fitbit. Until Tempur-Pedic asked me to use one to track my sleep, I never bothered to learn how. Now, after sleep tracking for a week, I think it’s the most useful feature. It proved something I always suspected about myself. When my health and stress levels are in order, I have a straightforward relationship with sleep. Things have been going better lately, which means the worst night of sleep I got last week looked like this: While waking up 11 times may not be ideal, I’ll take nearly nine solid hours of sleep any day. You can even throw in a nap, and I will not complain. When I’m under heavy stress, however, my body prefers to be conscious enough to fret. As you might imagine, a few months ago I was awake. For weeks. Because insomnia is such an indicator of anxiety for me, I do everything I can to get my sleeping habits back to normal. These are the top ten tricks that work for me: 1. Clear your head. Anxiety is a stimulant. I put stressful tasks at the top of my to do list in hopes of making headway before bed. For larger tasks I find it helps me to make a plan — a detailed list for the next day, an outline of a project that will take weeks to complete. If my worries are more emotional, I write stream-of-consciousness in a journal. This way I don’t waste sleep time worrying about things I can tackle in the morning. Speaking of which… 2. Keep a pen by the bed. There will always be something you forget to write down. Something so pressing that it jolts you from sleep at 3 a.m. Don’t regain consciousness while you worry about remembering the important thing. Write it down and roll over. 3. Get off the couch. Exercise. Harder than you usually do if you’re athletic. One of the less-touted benefits of strenuous exercise is that it exhausts you. Perfect. 4. Stop the nightly grind. This isn’t an issue for everyone of course, but I grind my teeth in my sleep. I didn’t realize how much it was waking me until I got a mouth guard, and so I mention it here. Consider it, my stress-ball friend. 5. Clear out electronics. They say you need to remove even the tiniest lights if you don’t want to mess with your circadian rhythms, and maybe that’s true. Illuminated clocks are so accusatory they might as well have an exclamation point after the time. But the little charging lights on my computer, phone, iPad, camera? Those are more of a problem if I’m already awake in the dark. Each one is a tiny siren song, coaxing me to conquer another level of Plants and Zombies. Not to mention how often my phone wakes me with a late-night text or call from one of the many inconsiderate louts who I have come to love. So when I’m having trouble sleeping, all the gadgets go in the living room. 6. Don’t play dead. When I’m up, I just get up. I won’t stay in bed awake for more than fifteen minutes because I don’t want my bed to become a place where I worry about not sleeping. I’ll take a bath or go read on the couch, any activity I can do supine. And if you fall asleep in the bathtub? Success. 7. Stop taking uppers. No more caffeine. If I can’t sleep, I stop ingesting stimulants because they are chemically designed to keep me awake. (I’m wacky that way.) I’ll take a two-day withdrawl headache over a month-long stint as a zombie. 8. Shower before bed. The warmth is supposed to sleepify you, and maybe it does, but I find it relaxing just to climb into bed clean. Sleeping with freshly shaved legs is also a nice bonus. 9. Get stuck. I get regular acupuncture, and I almost never have trouble sleeping on days when I have a session. The effect is similar to a good massage. 10. Powder your nose. When you finally do get to sleep, the last thing you want is to be woken by your bladder. Use the bathroom right before bed, and limit liquid intake an hour or so before you (hope to) go to sleep. According to the Fitbit, my bout of insomnia is mercifully in past. To whit: BAM! How you like that, Insomnia? Come and show your face, if you got beef! Or perhaps you should come back in the morning when I’m awake. We’ll discuss your behavior over a leisurely breakfast. You can do the dishes. So that’s what works for me. How about you? How do you get to sleep? Let me know if you need me to come over and spoon. http://thirdparty.fmpub.net/placement/427691?fleur_de_sel=%5Btimestamp%5D

The folks at Tempur-Pedic want me to remind you about this, “This post is sponsored by Tempur-Pedic, because we think you deserve to get your best night’s sleep every night.” Thanks, Tempur-Pedic. You’ve got my back. (Pun brought to you by Maggie as a reward for reading the fine print. You’re welcome.)

But you’re not Pink though, are you.

I’m heading to MaxFunCon for the first time this weekend, so I’ve been checking out the speakers. I found this video of Josie Long, wherein she perfectly encapsulates the disproportionate distain I feel when people ignore a party theme. It also reminds me of a few classic lines from the Gilmore Girls Terantino Party: Rory: Oh, hey Colin. Where’s your date? Colin: I went to pick her up, the door opens, and she’s dressed like Mira Sorvino. Robert: How do you dress like Mira Sorvino? Colin: You have blonde hair and a name tag that says Mira Sorvino. I just turned around and left. If you’re also headed to MaxFunCon, send me a note on Twitter (@Maggie) and we’ll have a drink. I will, of course, ask you to wear some sort of costume.

Before She Met Me by Julian Barnes

The best parts of Before She Met Me by Julian Barnes:

“As soon as Jack introduced the girl, something flickered in his brain and automatically expunged her name. That was what happened at parties. A few years earlier, as an experiment, Graham had tried repeating the person’s name as they shook hands. ‘Hullo, Rachel,’ he’d say, and ‘Hullo, Lionel,’ and ‘Good evening, Marion.’ But the men seemed to think you homosexual for it, and eyed you warily; while the women asked politely if you were Bostonian, or, perhaps, a Positive Thinker. Graham had abandoned the technique and gone back to feeling ashamed of his brain.”

“She no longer expected each dinner to disclose a perfect partner — or even an adequate one.”

“He’d turned into a man like other men: lovingly surprised at his own emotions, while diminishing those of his partner.”

“He was incompetent at arguing with Barbara; she always operated on such fearlessly non-academic principles.”

“He felt a complacent lack of curiosity about why he had ever loved her in the first place.”

“But even so, she had said “Fuck’. It had been a nice evening; they’d had a good dinner together, got on well, hadn’t run short of things to say; but even so, a couple of drops of water and it brought out a ‘Fuck.’ What on earth would she say if something serious happened? If she broke a leg or the Russians landed?”

“One of the first things he’d said to her that made her laugh was, “I’m afraid I’ve got an academic’s body.”

Vocab list:

adamantine – having an adamant quality

ruckle – a wrinkle or crease

gammy – sore or lame

cheroot – cigar with both ends open and untapered

intransigence – unwillingness to change one’s viewpoint

parturate – give birth

senescent -Growing old; aging

tassle – euphemism for a boy’s genitals

homo ludens – man the player, the element of play in society

muleteer – person who drives mules

atavistic – Relating to or characterized by reversion to something ancient or ancestral

British terms/slang, (with aid from Nick and Sarah):

wet – usually ‘wet’ means like soft, or a wuss. Weak-willed. As in, “don’t be wet.”

Junior Scouts – like Cub Scouts

Scrubber – basically means… unattractive… someone who tries to look good, but looks awful. And probably a bit loose.” (I said, “White trash?” and Nick said, “Yeah.”)

  2. Just visit, register, and you will have access to chat with people you have never
    met in your lifetime. With 40 countries to choose from, you can choose to either
    meet people from your country or even choose to meet guys from a country
    that interests you the most. You can come back daily or even several times a day; either
    way, you will find something new to fulfill your love for porn and pornstars.
    To me it seems that she is not only “not attracted” to
    them, which is fine; we can’t choose who we fall in love with,
    it seems as if she literally HATES them!
    What’s not: While it’s cool to see that your crush at school is also on the app,
    you may also pass a creepy guy on the street who is a user.
    But as you can see many of them are just above
    30, I think they still can be called MILF.

  9. If you are away, call often to check out that everything’s OK.

    We all sit down in the rows until both her and my roommate are called up to testify to the judge.
    Once the judge got to the bottom of the fact that
    neither of us had been in contact since our last big fallout outside
    of when I speculated about the joint bank account that we shared; he decided that there was no true reason for a restraining order in this case
    as well. She started by stating that I made a habit of harassing her and that I have
    been violent with her on multiple occasions and that without court order that she’ll never know peace.
    We got to about 5 minutes before the court doors were scheduled to
    open and there she came down the hall way.
    I got there about 35 minutes early just in case. There is no need to worry since
    with live Key recorder it logs every keystroke and it’ll
    capture every webpage and each move that’s made while using
    computer, and you can have access anywhere at any time
    to keep tabs on what’s going on at home.

  12. I wonder if I can order someone. I think it’s interesting that the article assumes age will determine things like how much of a “father figure” someone is and
    who is the most “nurturing.” I am with a guy significantly younger than me, and he is very clearly (imo)
    the more nurturing and “in charge” one in the relationship.
    Younger women want security and love and find
    it in older men who are more mature, more settled, have more money, more independent, experienced, and have Viagra to help ease the sexual symptoms of aging.
    I will soon marry a older woman I am in love with her. Woman who like young man forgotten to look
    into their future, Once young man become a man. I think a man dates an older
    women because he cant get a decent one his age. Reg, I am 53 and my lover is 31.
    He is 6″4″ and drop dead gorgeous man with ripped body most
    women drool over but he chose me over those younger women. Let women take over
    the control! Let me answer that. You want
    the Asian woman because she relieves you of
    any responsibility and can give you pleasure: take care of themselves, devoted, and great in bed–all in your favor, and you brought nothing to the table.

  15. Erektile Dysfunktion, obwohl dieser Begriff inzwischen gut verstanden ist, kann in den meisten Fällen auch emotionale oder das Festhalten einer Erektion, Erektionsstörungen oder eine Versteifung der Seite des Penis umfassen. Wenn die erektile Dysfunktion fortschreitet oder ein Problem ist, wenn Sie von Zeit zu Zeit Probleme haben, können Veränderungen des Blutflusses zu Impotenz des Penis führen.

  17. Stripchat is an international site that features hundreds of models
    from around the world. Special Features: The site supports fan clubs
    for performers, allowing users to get exclusive content and benefits for a set monthly fee.

    Premium members get cam-to-cam chat, HD video, and special attention from the
    models, without being charged anything up front. SlutRoulette’s front page may lead you to
    believe it’s a sibling of the long-lost ChatRoulette, but a
    few quick clicks will reveal a standard cam site.
    Finally, one-on-one shows are private live cam shows between you and a
    model, with no one else in the room. Users can tip in free shows to convince models to perform, but
    the main draw of the site is its private shows. SlutRoulette
    is free to use, with high-quality live chat available without dropping a dime.
    Tokens aren’t just expensive to use, they’re expensive
    to buy. Of course, even without the gimmicks, they’re a world-class site.
    Bonga Cams is a private chat-focused cam site that
    is best if you prefer to search by category.

  25. Gradually, using an alarm clock, Jessie cut back on the number of hours she was visiting sex sites.
    On the other hand, the paid sites do cost money, but they certainly have their own advantages: your fee grants access

  36. After his livery-car driver, Chris, kidnaps a suit-clad young
    man he believes to be an executive, only to learn he’s an intern,
    he goes, well, full Scott, launching into a fever-pitched rant about the befuddling democracy
    of tech-company culture, where the CEO can look like a lackey (see:
    Mark Zuckerberg and his hoodies) and a lowly intern can look like someone important.
    Both characters are more understated than Moriarty, a part which allowed Scott to
    be by turns loopy and sinister, melodramatic and spiky with rage; but they all bubble with a just-below-the-surface volatility, a feeling that even in the quiet moments, they could
    suddenly turn into someone just a little bit dangerous or unhinged.
    He’s a little too nice-seeming, but he’s definitely hot.

  37. But besides physical appearance and sex or sexual orientation, the world of free nude
    webcams also offers incredible choice when it comes to satisfying
    your fantasies. The major cam sites feature hundreds of
    women from all over the world most of whom have never done traditional porn scenes.

    There are some sites that ask for free trial concept, just avoid
    such sites as first they ask for free trial and when you end up
    having fun, couple of days later, they ask you to pay for enjoying their services further.
    Cam models, amateurs, first-timers, gays,
    lesbians and even trannies can be enjoyed in their birthday suit
    on these fine adult sites. Even with Billie, Jules, and Alik, the show’s producers hadn’t spent
    long racking their brains for original ideas. After two episodes, the
    great MIC explorers have now encountered a grand
    total of four New Yorkers – Billie, Alik, Jules, and a rather dubious ‘Yo Yoga’ teacher who helped the girls master the positions
    while rubbing his penis against their backsides.
