    Problems with sleep schedule

    Thanks for the advice! These are really helpful. It sounds obvious to get up and do something when you can't sleep, but I never actually thought that would be a good idea. I was always worried that would make it more difficult for me to fall asleep.

    "Those who don't believe in magic never find it." -- Roald Dahl

    This is a quote that keeps me going when times are tough. There are moments in life when things feel bleak, whether that be the outside world, or one's personal life. Many times, people, including myself, are looking for something in life, maybe it's love, maybe it's something as simple as...

    Pick-me-up music

    My go-to pick me up songs are "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO. It's so catchy, and upbeat. I've also recently gotten into "What a Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers, which is another upbeat song. Both are great for dancing too, if you're into that.

    Problems with sleep schedule

    I've been having this problem for over a month now where I go to sleep at a decent hour (maybe around 11:00 p.m.), but I can't stay asleep. It's easy for me to fall asleep, but I consistently wake up between 3 and 4 a.m. Sometimes I am able to fall back asleep hours later, and other times, I...

    Dealing with loneliness

    Loneliness is definitely a real feeling. Of course, most ideas can be deconstructed and labelled as "social constructs," but if something, like loneliness, is truly affecting you, you might want to consider it as a real feeling. Loneliness can be really hard. I've, of course, experienced it...

    Lucid Dreaming

    I have lucid dreams all the time! I've had chronic nightmares since I was a small child, and I've trained myself to be able to stop, recognize I'm in a dream, and then change the dream. I taught myself how to do it by coming up with a phrase that I can repeat to myself to make myself feel safe...

    Using Rubik's Cube as a Memory Enhancer

    I've tried big jigsaw puzzles, but I end up getting frustrated if the pieces look too much alike. Something I've always found that's useful with memory is the game Simon Says where you have to memorize colors in the order given to you. They make handheld Simon Says devices, but there are free...

    Best free language learning apps

    I agree that common phrases aren't the only thing you need to know when learning another language. Of course, language learning apps are great for that, but any time I've been abroad, I'm always initially stumped by verb conjugations. If you've got a computer handy, the site Conjugemos is pretty...
