Sleep deprived me is going on a hike tomorrow!

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 06:28:28 +0000

I’m trying to remind myself that i’d get less than 5 hours of sleep during the school year and still be perfectly fine, and this amount of sleep was the most I’d ever get the so everything is ok, but I can’t convince my brain

I need to remember that sleep is a foreign word to me so I don’t stress over getting enough T_T

I can also nap during the car ride if worst comes to worst

I’ve done extremely difficult hikes before on an empty stomach, so this really isn’t much worse, right?

How do I repair my broken sleep schedule? If I get in bed by 9:30 every night, even on weekends, would that do it?

I like the night but I also like being not sleep deprived.

I should probably put on louder music because my brain is still going at 256 miles per hour and I am contemplating deep spiritual things, sleep schedules, math homework and if my hair would grow out enough over the summer to look alright when school starts all at the same time.

I hate not being able to sleep

Wed, 13 May 2026 20:35:05 +0000

So, my mom keep getting mad at me for waking up late, and that makes sense usually because sometimes I stay up too late and it's my fault.

But last night, I stayed up until like 2 am reading? And staying up until 2 is late but not so bad, plus I was reading, so I should've been able to fall asleep...
But at 2 I tried to sleep, I couldn't and I checked the clock at it was 3.
So I turned the fan on and opened the door because I thought maybe that would make it cooler and easier to sleep. I tried to sleep, I checked the clock and it said 4.
I tried to sleep again, checked the clock and it said 5. And then after that there was light coming through my window.

Then at 1 pm my mom woke me up and got mad at me for sleeping. It's hard not to sleep in the morning when I literally can't fall asleep at night though.

It also sucks because on Saturday night I got yelled at for not sleeping too, even though all I did was get up to go to the bathroom, and my mom was yelling at me when I was fixing my blankets. And I even said, "I was just about to go back to bed." but my mom just went "Uh huh, yeah, sure you are." and then left and then I just cried in my bed until I fell asleep. (It also sucks because, I was already crying because of something else and then my mom came in and yelled at me and made me cry more)

Anyway, why is sleeping so hard...?

How to fall asleep (tutorial)

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:14:20 +0000

Step 1. Turn off the lights in your room

Step 2. lay in bed

Step 3. Get under the covers

Step 4. close your eyes

step 5. only move around for the first 5 minutes of trying to sleep so you can find the most comfortable position

Step 6. stop stressing about overthinking, your thoughts don't keep you up, unnecessary stress does

Step 7. stay still

Step 8. stop caring about going to sleep just & go to sleep

Step 9. (I need a filler step to get to 10)

Step 10. Sleep

lucid dream (idk why this turned into a guide)

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 12:49:55 +0000

Had anotha lucid dream today

Used a little thing called the WILD technique and t s was so weird when I started doing it. (idk why this turned into a small guide, but here you go)

Apparently, the WILD technique is bad for beginners, which is sometimes true, so I recommend trying other techniques if you don’t get this one after a few days.

Here’s how it went:

1. Fall asleep (wow)

2. I woke up to an alarm I set 4 hours after I fell asleep (it can be 4-6 hrs and also, if you are going to attempt this then use a nice, calm alarm. The 4-6 hours after falling asleep is because you wake up during your REM state, and you’re more susceptible to dreaming)

3. I stretched and walked around for 5 min (you can also read or check your phone on night mode for 5-10 minutes)

4. This is the complex part. The first thing you’re gonna wanna do is find a comfy position, and don’t move a muscle, no scratching an itch, no opening your eyes or anything like that. I did it and began to feel the affects of it. Someone online called it a “body asleep mind awake” thing. Calm your mind, and calm your breathing, it will help.

5. Whatever you do, do NOT fall for the urges to move, itch, open your eyes, or roll over. I did this and started to feel the beginning affects of this.

The effects:

1. Numbing, and calming feeling

2. Buzzing sensation

3. Lifting feeling

4. Dramatically increased heart rate

5. Hearing things

Maybe there’s some other ones, but that’s what I felt.

Basically, as I started reaching the end of this thing technique, your body will tell you to roll over and you might get bored, don’t fall for it bro. I followed through with it and got a lucid dream (it did take a few attempts though)

Now, how to enter your lucid dream.

What I did, is once I started to feel the buzzing/vibrating feeling, I immediately went and started trying to “roll out”

Basically, you wanna imagine yourself rolling out of bed, or you can imagine getting out of bed with a rope, or somethin like that. Usually, to get to that point where I entered the dream, I imagined my room, and it worked, it felt like I rolled out of bed, but I was sleeping. I had entered the dream.

It also works the same if you think of a recurring dream you have. You can also help the process by imagining the feeling of something in the room you’re imagining. As I went into the dream, you’ll get a rollercoaster, very fast affect.

After that, just in case, do a reality check, like counting your fingers (if there’s more than or less than 5, you’re in a dream) or plugging you nose and breathing through it (if you can breathe through it, you’re dreaming) I usually js do the finger count.

To stabilize the dream, you can either spin, or use all five senses in them dream to make it more vivid.

Then I had the dream, and it was so vivid. Sadly, most of you wouldn’t understand what I would say, because most of the dream focused on cars

First, in the dream, I did what I love to do in every lucid dream, which is fly around. Then I guess I got a car shop, and built an EG Civic into a race car and raced it around a racetrack (I would explain more, but none of you guys enjoy cars) it was good, it was vivid, and it was cool. And most importantly, it was a lucid dream

Personally, I like the… Hypnoagic? Is that what it’s called? Feelings, it just gives me a rush, and that’s why I might try this technique again.

Also if you have bad dream recall, don’t even waste your time on this, cuz you’ll forget the dream. You can make it better by keeping a dream journal, if you want to.

Also if you get sleep paralysis, good luck gang, you’re on your own

This technique is cool, but it’s sketchy, and there’s easier methods, though the feeling is cool. Personally, if you wanna do this, go for it. But I would recommend smth else like a DILD or MILD or whatever, I usually just do a combination of all of these. If you got bad dream recall? Don’t even try, but try to work on the dream recall.

So I've been learning how to lucid dream

Fri, 07 Mar 2025 02:25:07 +0000

So basically, I've heard of it before, like in videos, but this is the first time I've actually tried it...

It failed...

It's only been one night though, and the sun already set where I live, so I'm going to try again tonight.

The video tutorials I've been watching online say that you should try for at least a week, because it takes time, plus I didn't really do the method right last night so I'm not surprised with the results.

There's actually a lot of really cool things you can do in lucid dreams, like flying, turning invisible, making stuff just pop into existence, all you have to do is believe you can do it and it will happen.

I've also heard from the tutorials that you should build things up slowly, and not do huge things right away, so I've decided that when I get my first dream I'm just going to go to an ice cream shop and order my favorite flavor. (for free )

I'm probably also going to do some exploring and stuff to get familiar with the experience and all that.

Uh, yeah, that's it basically it. I'll tell you guys know more about this at the end of the week.

What time do you all typically go to bed? Do you have a specific bedtime or do you go to sleep whenever? For me, I usually head to bed around 10 to 10:30 PM. Right now, I’m posting this just before going to bed! Do you have a specific bedtime?
