Fell asleep during a staff meeting once. Former Airforce guy walks up behind me and starts whispering shit sbout fumes and gas and then starts screaming like he's burning alive.
I have never fallen asleep in a meeting again.
When I find myself falling asleep during a meeting, I'll hold up a pen a couple centimeters above the table. If I doze off I drop the pen and wake up.
So if you ever see me just holding a pen up, know that you're being verbose and it could've been an email.
In case any young people need to hear this: it's OK to lie at work. You're literally forced to work or totally unrelated goons will force you onto the street at gunpoint. You gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
Unskippable cutscenes? Doesn't matter, got laid. Now back to reality sigh
My anxiety be like, "You can't rest here there are enemies nearby."
Naps initialized while operating heavy machinery may trigger an unskippable cutscene followed by a game over.
Tip: The “Insomnia” debuff may affect your ability to take a nap.
Anyone who suffers from insomnia, something I learned that was revolutionary...
Don't lay down until you think you're ready to sleep. Don't even go into that room where you sleep until your ready to sleep. Stand. Don't sit or lay. Until you're ready to sleep. If that's not an option, sit on the floor on the side of your bed. Just not on your bed.
When you do lay down and it doesn't work, leave your bedroom. Or your bed and sit on the floor next to it. You gotta train your brain to associate your bed with sleeping and not anything else.
Understand that and half the battle is over.

This is generally a good practice regardless of sleep disorders. I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow because i go to bed to sleep. I dont go to bed to scroll on my phone. I dont have a tv in my room. I will be on a couch or a chair until im done with phone/tv/games, then... instant sleep, and staying asleep all night.
My wife is amazed by my ability to sleep, but she reads on her kindle and doom scrolls in bed for hours some nights
Unfortunately I’m in a studio apartment atm so there really isn’t another room lol
But yeah, I’ve hear these tips before. I’m sure if I actually followed them it would help, but… bed comfy UwU
You could get those freestanding wall room divider things and make your own room. With blackjack and hookers. And room dividers
It's more a state of mind. Perhaps switch longwise one for resting, the other only for sleep?

You can thank me later.
I miss taking naps, but these days I tend to get into a really good REM phase, have intensely vivid nightmares and stress dreams, and then I wake up with a splitting headache. Like 9/10 times.
∆Tip: Naps also have a chance of applying debuffs depending on your body position
Unskippable cutscene? That's what naps are for!
Pro tip: Unskippable cutscenes can in fact be skipped if you are brave enough.
Tip: attempting to skip unskippable cutscenes may, in fact, trigger additional unskippable cutscenes
Most unskippable cutscenes with the boss are easy to skip if you don't mind abandoning your current storyline.
Warning: do NOT try to skip unskippable cuscenes with the law enforcement, unless your storyline absolutely calls for it
Just got a 20 minute nap at work that totally reset my nausea, unfortunately I was looking to use my nausea as a way to take off from work this afternoon, including avoiding this meeting with the bosses in 7 minutes.
This is why I have state of the art glasses that have eyes painted on them so I can sleep during board meetings.
