β Sometimes helps
- Cool room, warm feet (weird but true)
- Getting up instead of fighting it
- Boring podcast or audiobook
- Magnesium (ask your doctor)
- Accepting this is temporary
- Cooling pillow or fan
β Definitely doesn't
- Checking the time repeatedly
- Calculating hours until alarm
- Getting angry about being awake
- "Just relax" (thanks, helpful)
- Screens at full brightness
- Catastrophizing about tomorrow

"I've reorganized my entire kitchen in my head three times tonight. It will not be reorganized tomorrow."
