Fml the sun's about to come up and I still can't fall asleep. Dear Brain, please shut up.

(side thought: was that basically my brain telling itself to shut up? Useless things like this keep me up at night lol...)

Edit: well hello Mr. Sun. Seems like a lot of people leave their phones outside but I feel like it'd add to my insomnia, having me wonder if family might try to contact me with an emergency. Saw some good suggestions so I will definitely give those a try, thank you!

Yes, the no phone in bed rule is a good one. I also try not to look at my phone first thing in the morning aside from turning off my alarm. Then I get up and start my day before checking the phone. Don't let your phone dictate your day, start it yourself with intention first.
