I used to be that way.
At some point, it just turned into “Fuck it. I’ll get whatever sleep I get.”
Did Homer just disprove Fermat’s Last Theorem? O.o
It looks like general relativity he’s doing there
I meant line 2 (it’s actually a joke the math professors on the writing team of the Simpsons put in there: it doesn’t disprove Fermat’s Theorem, but most calculators at the time didn’t have the accuracy to cumpute that directly, which is kind of the joke)
Oh well spotted, you’re right. I didn’t twig at all.
Yeah. I do this. The number gradually gets smaller as I fail to fall asleep
And of course, doing so is what keeps you awake and keeps the number getting smaller.
Some more sleeping tips:
Stay off your phone.
If you have to do something but don’t want to because you’re going to interrupt your sleep progress, just do it and don’t worry about it as long as you take less than 15 minutes.
Stay out of bed when you’re not trying to sleep. Condition yourself to associate your bed solely with sleep.
Keep your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up to snooze it. Disable voice snoozing. Then you won’t have to worry about sleeping through it.
