I have not slept through the day for two total days thus far. This is not an intentional choice. I am suffering from some sort of something-induced insomnia which is preventing me from properly drifting off to sleep whenever I get in my recuperacoon and attempt to let the slime take me to the next night, I find myself floating in silence, unable to focus my mind enough to do so. This has been, frankly, a very frustrating development and it is hindering both my professional and personal lives. If anyone has any advice, please let me know.
Have you tried listening to something as you're going to sleep? I usually have a lecture playing off my palmhusk 8efore I go to my cocoon. Nothing too interesting, usually just a review of a novel I've recently read. Sometimes I even play music, or white noise. You may also just 8enefit from doing some stretches 8efore cocoon.
...um maybe try checking to make sure the slime is filtering properly? sometimes the recuperacoon can fail to clear the valves all the way, which causes a blockage in the internal cycling and thus worse sleep...
In the past I have been against the idea of listening to some sort of noise as I try to sleep, simply because I tend to examine what i listen to. If I, say, put on a lecture, I would be far too occupied with the lecture itself! Especially if it is on something I wasn't already aware of / knowledgeable about before. White noise, however, might be a good idea. The idle sound of the acid rain can be calming at daybreak... that may be a good idea. Thank you - Aranea, correct?
Is that so? I'll admit my ignorance and say that I was not aware of this. Perhaps I am due for a new recuperacoon as well. I have had mine since my first molt, adjusted originally to fit the size I would be, though it does struggle to accommodate me at times. If I could purchase a newer version with more space, perhaps I could solve multiple issues at once.
...that would probably be a good idea, I think, also because if it isn't big enough to get properly comfortable in, you won't be able to relax properly... ...it's one of those amphibian-in-boiling-vessel situations in the way little issues stack up until you're staying up all day.
Yes, Aranea. I guess I forgot to properly make your acquaintance. I can only assume Galekh would 8e accepta8le to call you. I always enjoy helping out a fellow scholar, and I hope your insomnia improves soon.
I hardly mind. This site isn't one for making proper acquaintance, moreso for replying to posts without introducing oneself first (trust me, I have, and the response to it was not kind). It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Aranea, and I appreciate both your help and the chance to speak with a fellow scholar again.
