{ 003 } ♔ TEXT

[articulations]

[ The message comes out late at night that Leia doesn't expect anyone to be awake to answer. She's pulling a Han right now; the man has a terrible habit of sending these late night texts out. Looks like she's learned from the best of the best.

There's a catch, however, and it's that Leia's locked this from any immediate family and friends*. She doesn't need the extra worry. Doesn't want anyone camping out on her front step. She might have missed someone, going through the directory this late, though. ]

I've spent the last hour trying to go back through what's available. I've also tried browsing what's online. It hasn't worked out so well.

What I'm looking for are remedies. Something that works in helping someone fall asleep and stay asleep without waking every two hours.

When I say remedies, I mean the kind that come in the form of personal experience. If you've had trouble keeping a sleep schedule, please, share what works for you?


( *out of the cast, this post is locked from Luke, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padmé, Hux, Finn, Kanan, Poe, Kylo, Lando. Anyone else in the cast directory wasn't locked out and receives the message/can reply/can pass it on. )

Tea won't leave me with a hangover.

[ Leia had dealt with that poor decision the day after Poe's party. Never again. ]

it's insomnia.

[ That's being caused by nightmares but. They don't talk about nightmares. ]

[onlydoubts]

True. No hangover there. Probably healthier too,
come to think of it.

I don't suggest staying awake until you're too tired to function. Generally makes it even harder to stay asleep.

Meditation kind of works for me, when I've tried it. Which hasn't been often, but.

I've considered finding a sleep mask to block out the light. That could help, I suppose.

Meditation is still a weird concept to me. Probably because I never had time back home to do it.

[onlydoubts]

Might, but I can't really account to that. Never tried it. Unless shoving a pillow over your face counts.

[ which can help maybe? ]

i'd never really done it before coming here, either to be honest.
still kind of getting used to it. helps me sort of get my mind quiet when it doesn't want to be. which i guess is one of the points of meditation.

[articulations]

I guess inducing sleep by suffocation works too.

It is. I just don't like the quiet part.

[onlydoubts]

Not recommended.

I'm not used to it. I think it's hard to. Not get overwhelmed by it, but that's what the meditation is for.

If that makes sense.

[articulations]

It does, yes. But like everything in life, it's not so simple.

[onlydoubts]

We can't have anything be easy, can we? It might be boring.

Almost in the sense of what we're experiencing now. With all this 'down time'.
