I have ADHD, and when it's time for bed, my brain sometimes goes on adventures and sidequests I have zero control over. It starts planning funeral speeches that hopefully won't be relevant in the next 40 years. At the same time, it is planning to build a new dining table from scratch, while looping the chorus, and ONLY the chorus, from "Nightfever" by the BeeGees.As you may understand, I have to be really strict with my bedtime routine. Through a lifetime of trial and error, I have learned what works and what does not work. Sometimes white noise is a lifesaver, other times my brain turns it into a clubmix. However, when I create a calming atmosphere around me, and I have a few different tools on hand, to help me unwind, I can fall asleep within a reasonable time every night. I hope you can find something to help you here! 🔗 ***In some of the descriptions I have linked to research papers, to help you gain some knowledge about your sleep.***🔗

School started this week and I give it about ten days before someone comes home with a cough. This is what I restock every August so I am not driving to the store at 11pm with a feverish kid in the back seat. Nothing fancy, most of it cheap, and I wrote down what annoys me about each one too.

Half of you reading this today are in Boise, Meridian, Butte, and Great Falls, and your counties are sitting under air quality alerts while I write this. I have two kids, and the younger one gets a scratchy cough the second the AQI turns orange, so I have learned the hard way which of this stuff actually changes how the house feels and which of it is theater. Most of it is cheap, a few pieces are not, and I said which is which. The honest downside is in every single note.

I got Covid in December of 2020 while teaching high school. I was not able to return for spring semester. In fact, I was in a wheelchair with a whole host of health issues until late summer of 2021. I was finally able to get around without a wheelchair eventually, but my life has never been the same. Four and a half years later, despite going to a Long Covid Clinic and seeing a multitude of doctors, I still don't have any real answers or treatments. I am better, but I am pretty sure I will always have a chronic illness that prevents me from living the same kind of life I did prior to Covid. This list is just going to consist of things that I have found helpful in this Long Covid Journey. I am in no way a medical professional, and I'm finding that with Long Covid, and probably other post-viral illnesses, something that works for one person may not work for another! But I am here to share what has given me at least a little bit of my life back or made things easier for me.
