    I try to go to sleep, lay there with nothing but brain noise to distract me and come up with ideas I am compelled to do something with right when I get them. And the worst part is that I can do something with them. I can’t just lie to myself and say I cant because all the tools I need to do something with them (eg. Computer, notepad etc.) are right there and easily accessible. So I end up spending an hour or more working on something instead of sleeping and only manage to sleep when I am too physically exhausted to remain awake. Rinse repeat forever.

      This is why i listen to audiobooks or radio plays to fall asleep to.

      They are engaging enough to stop the noise but i can still fall asleep listening.

      Works good for me, atleast most of the time*.

      *Damn you Will Patton for reading Stephen King novells in such a gripping way, you are banned from bedtime listening!

      Telling from my own experience, looking at your phone is not going to be helpful.
      My advice would be to do something entertaining, but tiring. Like solving a sudoku if that floats your boat. Or reading. At least that’s what sometimes does the trick for me.

      Would this work? And how does weed go together with Vyvanse? I’m hesitant…
