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.”)

  9. Right Now I’m watching the show @AEIntervention1 on Viceland.

    And I gotta say, nothing enrages me more then when someone refers 2 a child being raped as molestation.

    Molestation is touching. An adult having sex with <10 year old boy or girl that is rape. Period.

  19. That renewed interest in extraterrestrials may have showed itself in an unexpected way.
    And, since you feed and care for your own chickens, you
    can have the peace of mind that your eggs are hormone, chemical, and bacteria free.
    Ask not what you can do for your chickens, but what your chickens can do
    for you! What’s great with some of the newer chat programs, apart from they
    are free and easy to install, is that sites with the same theme that use the
    same chatting service get linked via categories, so that visitors can find all sites specifically targeting adults

  26. A few were very nice and we had some wonderful conversations, even going so far as having a couple of friendly casual
    dinner dates. You are at least an 18-year-old woman, man, shemale or couple.
    Everything had to be a done with at least a twinkle of winking irony.
    Poole had adapted a type of Japanese bulletin board software which
    was difficult to understand at first, but once learned, was far more fun to post in than the traditional American format used by S.A.,
    as a result the site became popular very quickly. I would like a link to the story to read more
    about it. Around 2005 or so a strange link started showing up
    in my old webcomic’s referral logs. 4chan had been created by a 15 year old Something Awful user named Christopher
    Poole (whose 4chan mod name was “moot”). Their user base had grown exponentially and it was obvious they were
    about to explode into the mainstream. No matter what
    a user did or said, he could always say it was
    “for the lulz” (lols).

  29. If only I could get out of there alive, I’d be able to give the police a description.
    I sat dumbfounded for about half a minute, before
    starting the engine and driving to the nearest
    police station. I couldn’t see much of him, but the top half
    of his face looked young. A friend showed me his Twitch channel and his videos looked like a lot of fun,
    so I decided to try my hand at streaming a
    game of Sims. In truth, I’d seen some videos of the event on Samuel’s Facebook.
    I’d even broken up with my first and only serious boyfriend because of my Twitch channel.
    While Trump has recently denied having affairs, this is clearly not
    the case given he dumped his first wife after having a public affair with his second wife.
    Many sites have a number of different types of cam shows, while some just focus on one type or another.

  38. Prosperous long distance relationships are created by people committed to adore and staying

    Texts and emails are excellent for brief little notes but no far more than that as they are so open to misinterpretation. Phones are easy to use and have great front-facing cameras,

    opting for the best security options.

  42. Three police officers went to a first-floor
    flat in Hackney, east London, at about 3.45am the following day and found Henry lying with the child under his duvet.
    Sometimes the unruly element in those stands went way
    too far. The first game of the 1997/1998 one-day
    series at the SCG was marred by sections of the crowd hurling golf balls
    and bottles from the stands near the third man boundary.
    Spectators had chucked golf balls and beer bottles onto the field, causing play to
    be stopped for five minutes as the game came close to being abandoned.

    and she shared saucy videos on Instagram. MCG chief executive Stephen Grough said such mayhem had been a regular
    problem for the first day-nighter of the ODI series for several summers.
    I think the Victorian crowd and the MCG crowd are absolutely

  43. Nanoparticulate formulations (e.g., biodegradable nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, liposomes) may
    be used to control the biodistribution of the compounds.
    And becoming an expert at description and metaphor can only help – as
    can creating as many synonyms for common terms (e.g.,
    penis, vagina, breasts, balls, etc.) as possible. See, e.g., U.S.
    Publication No. US 2006/0270045 A1. Words may speak louder than actions.
    This is especially true of text-based sexual communication, such as sexting
    or email without a visual component; a man is then reliant
    upon his way with words to get his partner hot and bothered – and to keep the partner feeling
    that way until both have achieved a release. When a
    man engages in sexual activity with another person who is not in the same physical location,
    his words may have more impact and meaning than ever before.
    The modern male may want to keep the following sex tips
    in mind as he sexts, video chats and otherwise engages in 21st century sexual activity.
