Tips on winding down on stimulants
Update: I forgot I had Lemon balm leaves in my pantry, made some tea with it & knocked out. 🙏 I almost slept in for work the next morning though ———- Anyone have some tips & tricks to get your mind ready for sleep when being on stimulants during the day? I’m on Dexamphetamine (short-acting) and try not to take my last dose past 1pm to help my mind wind down and get tired by the time I need to sleep. However, sometimes I have days where I can’t shut my brain off (like tonight) & I know it’s gonna be a late one. My body is tired but my thoughts say otherwise. These are days where Meditation, sound therapy & stretches don’t do the trick. 😭 I don’t use social media, I deleted all of them (highly recommend it)
Ive found that just listening to Audiobooks on Audible etc. - just the audio helps put me to sleep at night. (previously Id follow along reading the digital copy but now I only do that in the daytime).
