Been through this before, so I know it gets better eventually, but what do you folks generally do to optimize beddy-bye time? To the insomniacs, what are some things you do in the wee hours/early morning for a relaxing start to your day?

This morning's choice is checking out the music of Casiopea - saw them mentioned in a meme here recently, then later on saw one of my favourite gig spaces has a great local fusion jazz band doing a show covering them at the end of the month. Very chill, feels like menu music of a mid-90s Japanese 3D game in a very good way, lol. Funny how these things happen sometimes, kinda like seeing the car model you just bought everywhere on the road shortly after purchase.

Hopefully the issues are waning nearly a week after the original post! But what I would do, in a case of waking up both early and stressed for whatever reason, is also to check music, specifically going through my selection at random until one that clicks is selected. Usually also they're power metal, symphonic metal or related, the cheesy stuff as I like to say, but it helps me kickstart the day 😅
