like, it's still dark at 5pm, there are barely any sports on, still bitterly cold and austere and it hurts to go outside, but you're not even looking forward to christmas or the new year. the new year is here, and it's largely the same as last year. except you're getting older.

Adding onto this, I recommend a sunrise alarm. I wake up at 5 am every morning and it makes the transition from sleep much jarring.

I wear a sleep mask so it never really helped me all that much even though I have one and experimented with it. I'll never dispose of it but it more or less collects dust

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Interesting! Do you find the mask makes a big difference? I just read about them and was giving it some thought.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hell ya. Can't sleep without it

Just wanted to report back that you have changed my life. I sleep like a goddamn baby with my new sleep mask. Thanks!

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Glad its working for ya. I always thought it was strange how much emphasis is placed on having a hermetically-sealed dark room for sleep when its like, just get a good sleeping mask and literally rest your eyes

I tried the sleep mask and earplugs because that's what they say helps but sleep me just takes it all off cause I have some weird sensory issues. I need some blackout curtains :(
