@thequirkybraincoach I’ve had quite a bit of success improving sleep — both time to fall asleep and time awake in night) by limiting my sleep window and working on only using bed for sleep. It can be rough at first but does help reset cicadiam rythym. #sleep #insomnia

Although I haven’t used my own voice much on #twitter for anything other than trolling Lyndsay Graham and ilk for years:ablobcall: , I do use the platform to curate my own information flow… but would rather do so on Mastadon now. What are your recommendations for doing so here? Will add that I LOVE how people mostly hide their #political posts here… making reading them optional. #twitterrefugee

@nicolewolverton that’s 10+ years.

@nicolewolverton I’d rather spend a bit more and get something better made. Remember when televisions would last 1+ years? It’s as if everything is built with a shelf life.

@nicolewolverton I’m not convinced it will hold up yet. It is not the sofa that will get the most use in my home. Will sit on it today and be back in touch!

@nicolewolverton I bought a #APt2b sofa recently. I love it. Back cushions were a bit stiff but have broken in nicely. #homedecor #furniture

@lucidh3x @lucidh3x I like # cello music - something about the register of it neither annoys me nor puts me to sleep.

Something I thought I'd never have to say again: Could use some #followfriday suggestions! Anything #marketing, #custexp, #neurodivergent, #neurodiversity, #adhd, #biztravel, #exercise or #nyc.

Hi, Mastodon! My name is Peter Shankman. 🙂

I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it

The "Weird Old Book Finder"

Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: weird-old-book-finder.glitch.m

Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*

Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are

A longer essay on how/why I developed it: debugger.medium.com/a-search-e

This was a search for "mastodon"

A screenshot of the Weird Old Book Finder, showing the book returned for the search "mastodon" -- the book is "Mastodon, Mammoth, and Man"

@nicolewolverton I’m currently doing The Sleep Reset (it’s available as an app - check it out if you want) I’ve done the method on my own before and saw some success, but need the structure. It’s not cheap but think link would give you a discount. Also look up Trazadone and ask doc about it if it sounds interesting - it’s not a benzo but can help. #insomnia #sleepless

@nicolewolverton So sorry Nicole, this sounds familiar. What have you tried for insomnia?
