Tallulah's Thread. Fuck yeah.

I have such a poor relationship with sleep.

Sleep hygiene? Useless.
Lavender on pillow? Useless.
Repeat ad nauseum.

I'm a hardcore night time insomniac.

I think the last time I got more than 5 hours was the day after my dad died, through sheer exhaustion, I hadn't slept for nearly 3 days. That was over 2 years ago.

Living like this, you can see why sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture.

I can't imagine how you manage to live like this indefinitely. I sometimes worry that one day I'll enter a 2-3 hour a night pattern and never get out of it again, but until then, I'll breathe relief that I do sometimes get enough sleep.

I can, fortunately, still nap in the daytime for up to an hour if I'm tired enough but I still need some mental distraction like music. I'll take sleeping pills if the run of nights has been too long and I'm barely functioning but they're not guaranteed to work either unless exhaustion is already there.

I managed a super deep sleep last night, as indicated by the fact that I woke in exactly the same position, zero turning over and my earbud still in (which often falls out during sleep). So, hopefully my body has reset and I can get back to my 4.5-6 hours a night!

I can nap occasionally for up to an hour as well.

I did try melatonin last night, bc I was that exhausted and agreed on jt not being a guarantee. I got more sleep last night than I did the night before. But the nightmare that happened at 4am didn't help, then the train came at like 5am. So didn't go back to sleep.

I need to wear my oura ring again to track my sleep and see how much I get again.

But the best is like you mentioned where you don't toss or turn. Wake up in the same position.
 
I like melatonin and use 10 mg before bed. I've tried lots of other things but am very cautious about medications. Truthfully, the three things that have made the biggest difference have been not eating after 7 pm, no alcohol in the evening, and stopping any screen use and reading a paper book instead. This last one has nothing to do with the blue light issue, but rather with triggering the dopamine reward pathways in the brain...I don't want an excited brain at bedtime!

Oh, and I've trained myself that, should I get up during the night for the bathroom, I never look at the clock as I get back in bed.

I was gonna ask a silly question that would be an inside joke between us, but I feel bad about your insomnia.

I'll just drop this moment of utter absurdity for you all. It's a great example of "you can't make this shit up," and even more positive because of the response of the people involved.

A friend was in bed with his wife and they were enjoying some morning cuddling. Soon she was sitting astride him, riding his cock, when her period started. They just kept going. That's the moment that their 4 year old chose to throw their bedroom door open, run in and hop on the bed to have explosive projectile vomiting all over her dad's bare chest.

What the fuck? Yeah, well, you could laugh or you could cry. After a few moments of shock, my friend and his wife dissolved into hopeless laughter.
 
Dear Abby,

A person on Literotica recommended practicing on bananas while learning how to suck a cock, saying that they won't break. The thing is, I've seen my girlfriend break any number of bananas in her vagina, sometimes actually turning them into a sort of pudding. What's up with that?

Love,
Curious
