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.***🔗

If your morning coffee has started working against you in perimenopause, amplifying anxiety, triggering hot flushes, disrupting your already fragile sleep, mushroom coffee isn't asking you to give up the ritual. It's asking you to upgrade it. The blends and extracts I've pulled together here are organised by how you want to use them: ready-to-brew for an easy swap, single extracts to target a specific symptom, or add-ins to build the morning ritual your body actually needs right now. One non-negotiable before you shop: look for products using the mushroom fruiting body, not mycelium on grain. And check for third-party testing and beta-glucan content. Everything in this list meets those standards.

when it comes to treating and healing under the broad spectrum of mental health, one size does NOT fit all. If affirmations give you hives, and forced positivity makes you roll your eyes so hard you strain your optic nerve, then you've come to the right place my friend. In this house, the treatment plan is liberal use of sarcasm and dark humour, a fuckton of rude words, and a soupcon of rage for flavour. Insight focus on the “in”, not the “sight”, and worksheets are worth the paper they're printed on. Patient - heal thyself! For the physicians surely won't.
