So about the insomnia… I find getting out of your own head helps. May I recommend a couple of things?

Alexa, if you have one, is sometimes the Orwellian nightmare we were warned about but it can also be a boon. Say the following incantation over her: “Alexa, play Station: Meditation” and, on a low volume, allow the music to wash through & around you. It’s the kind of thing I play for my massage clients.

Also available to you is found on the YouTube. Search for “Lubuskie Centrum Czystości”. This dude cleans carpets. And I know, I know… what’s so different about him? And I have two words: CAMERA ANGLES. And two more: SOOTHING MUSIC. And three more: SLOW MOTION SHOTS. If you are not mildly relaxed while watching this guy methodically & proudly clean the dirtiest, most garish carpets in Poland, then I don’t know how to help you.

Pro tip: Watch the carpet cleaning on mute & play Station: Meditation AT THE SAME TIME. Thank me later.

Oddly appealing stuff like this makes the internet worthwhile!
