What about hedgedoc?

yes, all of that are very important as well. Sometimes I think about how exhausting it is to follow all these, and try my best to forget about the fear of not falling asleep when going to bed. I’ve noticed that overcoming that psychological “surrender” had a big impact on nights where I experience some problems - it’s important to keep calm and not spiral. But damn, it’s hard living like this.

one more thing: I have to limit the amount of stress inducing activities throughout a day/days so my brain is not in alert mode for too long. I have social anxiety so this mostly means spending enough time at home, not going to more than 2 different places during one day, etc.

My rules to have a higher chance of falling asleep at 11-12

• always wake up early, even after I went to bed late, otherwise I won’t be able to fall asleep on time
• no active brain work (studying, working) after 8pm
• no food after 7-8pm
• no ceiling lights after 8-9 pm, only yellow dim lamps
• no staying in bed if I couldn’t fall asleep. get up, go to another room, try again in 15-20 minutes
