loveee love this genre called "slowcore", it's a genre of indie rock that sounds really quiet and melancholic and just overall feels like lullaby, if that's what you're into :] never fails w me, i love feeling like i'm being sung to sleep lol, also focusing on all the sounds and lyrics can help with falling asleep for me!
bands like red house painters, duster, galaxie 500, eiafuawn, tram... i have many
also ambient music! i love the band grouper, there's this song "litte gray cat" and i think it did its job even when i wasn't feeling tired at all haha
Buut if you don't want music, you can watch interesting livestreams on twitch or letsplays, a true crime documentary(if not disturbing while trying to sleep haha), any other documentary or commentary video, whatever's long enough !

Iβm an insomniac, and when it gets really bad I put on nature programs and just let them lull me into a state of (if not rest) relaxation. Something about quiet narration and beauty shots of nature and animals just lowers my heart rate and slows down my brain.
Especially the snowy forest and deep sea episodes. Dunno why those ones specifically, but goddamn are those great.

i loveee early mornings, 5/6 AM, taking a shower starting your day early, too bad i'm the sleepiest person alive and never get to experience them :s
3/4 AM when you're sitting with your friend on the balcony sobering up, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, sharing stories and gossip and laughing your asses off over dumb jokes you won't remember later
6-9PM BUT ONLY in summertime when the sun has set and it's not hot anymore but it's still light outside and you're talking a walk and life is beautiful and worth living and ahh *chef's kiss*
10PM when the day is done and everyone's gone to sleep and you have no work to do so you can just do your thing in your room watch a movie snug as a bug y'know the drill :3

to be completely honest i struggle a lot with rlly bad social anxiety and not feeling like i have anything worthy to say lol and i want to try to beat it all and i'm giving it a try by answering asks here n possibly engaging with people ( scary :0 ) and maybe genuinely saying something helpful once we'll see
and i like the anonymity! i don't think it's that widely-used of a website and it just feels safe unlike other social medias do for me haha
i'm a tumblr girlie and this reminds me of it in certain ways! cutesy and the people seem nice
as for why any of us are here at all... me personally, i was put on this earth to listen to music while riding the bus and drinking a smoothie... don't know bout the rest of y'all...
