Interesting. I've been hearing about minds.com for some time and I assumed they were big (great domain name). But I just checked it using our internal tool, it turns out it's smaller than read.cash (which itself isn't that big :) )
I hope I can get a good sleep tonight too.
Don't think too much about him. πβοΈ That's my personal tip for you π
How can I do that when he's been running on my mind 24/7 π I'm afraid that he'll reach my heart soon ππ Kidding! βπ»
πππ That's too sweet. Then keep on thinking about him, until your mind got tired and become sleepy. ππ€¦ββοΈ
My secret is "exercise". When I exercise, I feel that I could take a healthy and refreshing sleep. Yet, I have no idea about my body clock :O I guess charge is over :P
π I don't have any idea that you can charge the body clock. π
haha That's my own wisdom π
The main things for a good night's sleep are controlling your stress levels, you really should not be very stressed about anything in life and also exercise not too late and limit the intake of caffeine!
I have a bad sleeping habit. I blame it on my work haha. But I don't mind it (for now)... I work graveyard shift and my body just adjusts to it. So even if I don't have work, sometimes I couldn't sleep at night.
It's because of the body clock. Your body got used to it and adjusted. That's the bad thing on working at night.
Yeah. You're right. But I love what I do and I love my job. (or maybe I have mo choice haha just kidding)
π Well if you're enjoying it then.. Just make sure to have a better sleep at the morning π you can use curtains to make your room dark or use some sleep mask.
yeah. my husband and our son lets me have enough sleep too.
They cooperated. That's good to hear π
I have not been sleeping well lately. I guess for me caffeine intake is the main problem as I am kind of addicted to tea
Well better to change that habit.
Yes you are right. I picked it up at a rather early age to is it very hard to let it go.
Thank you for sharing this. I think its a big help for me.
I've heard that having a nap in the afternoon can boost your life should I say can add more years in your life. It's really a good for health Just saying. And sharing π
Maybe it is. But if you have a sleeping problem, it can be the reason. So what do you want, having a good nap, or a good night sleep?
Useful article :)
I try to my self..
I don't nap in afternoon. My room is dark. I do exercise by means of work in farmland. I am not a fan of drinking coffee. But I still don't get a good sleep during night. What an Irony. I think I need some checkup.
Try that then. Maybe you need to drink some sleeping pills. Or try to drink wine or milk before bedtime.
Wine, sleeping pills?we are not rich to afford that during this pandemic crisis Maybe I should try milk. Thank you ma'am.
