Reading when I'm tired always puts me to sleep.
The articles on this site are particularly good at putting me to sleep. They're just interesting enough that I'll read them, but not so entertaining that I want to continue.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip!
Get off your phone dude that shit does not help, if you posted this from a laptop then I have no response.
+10 respect for you mentioning laptops! But yeah, it was my phone... Guilty as charged.
If you've an OLED screen dialed dim with a blue light filter, the effect it's having is going to be negligible, and having an e-reader is not gonna be much different.
Although audio-books etc still would be better than even very very mild reddish lights.
I usually just turn off the screen and listen to MrBallen.
Lately I've listened to Star Trek TNG and just yesterday started Voyager. They're nice because I've seen them so many times and they're usually pretty static from camera angles and dialogue heavy, so it's fine just listening to them.
What if he used a smart fridge?
Then theyre too far gone
I use the mynoise app for Android. Free version has enough useful sounds for sleep, focus and the like. It even has the 'color' sounds like pink noise and white noise.
Chamomile tea is known to help, but you would have to have some on hand, which I’m assuming you don’t. Soooo…
This wasn’t very helpful, was it?
I have two full boxes of it. :D
Never say never! :D
Just remember to check the entire tea is free of actual tea (black/white/green tea whichever), because while chamomile doesn't have caffeine, lots of chamomile teas are actually black teas flavoured with chamomile, but also there are obviously tons of herbal chamomile tea mixes without caffeine at all. So those would be preferable for insomniacs
Thanks for the headsup! The ingredients say "camomile" and nothing else. :D
Well it should be "tea" in the general form of the word then, as in some plant steeped. Because "tea" is also the name of the tea plant in some contexts. But yes, what you have should be completely caffeine-free per my understanding.
Brown noise is better
So true
I have this video saved as an mp3 on a second device just for sleeping. Helps block plug little noises that my broken brain terms to fixate on. It's 8 hours too, so you can use it as a impromptu timer to know when to wake up. If the nose hasn't stopped, then it's not time to wake yet.
Last time I tried this I accidentally played the brown note instead...
Yeah I will just power through and take an afternoon nap
CBT for insomnia
start at the 53 minute mark
I hope its too late, but do some super chill game like stardew valley and fall asleep in your chair
