    If you are always listening to podcasts or audio books your brain can’t over think so you only do it while trying to sleep.

          I actually have the same issue and can’t wear earbuds in bed. I went as far as to purchase special sleeping headphones, they’re over the ear and really small (they market themselves as the smallest in the world). I can hardly feel them honestly. However, I was cheap and bought the wired version so now the wire bothers me. If you have money to waste, they’re called bedphones. Just make sure you get the wireless ones.

          I sleep on my own now so I just put the sound on my speaker, but sleeping alone is all its own privilege.

            Thanks for sharing! I’ll guess it’s something I’ll try at some point. At the moment I currently sleep blindfolded and with earplugs. I like both absolute darkness and having my bedroom properly ventilated.

    Everywhere that why I’m always trying to get my mind the most distracted as possible, and that probably make me dumb as fuck and more forgetful than a clown fish

    It won’t ever shut up (brainhole adhd).

    It’s more what triggers the few seconds of quiet I get blessed with every few moons.

    While going to sleep. Then I don’t go to sleep but get up and go smoke or something until the overthink is gone

    That’s how I get more than 4 hours of sleep every night with this simple trick!

      Public spaces are the gauntlet. Everything in your body yelling at you to be extremely aware while your brain painfully attempts to disassociate. There is no space for thinking there

    I don’t usually over think but I just think of some random shit all day long and it’s hard to just focus on something unless I am absolutely into it and enjoy it. I don’t think I have ADHD but never bothered getting diagnosed as it’s not bad enough to worry.

    Rn thinking about dot age on the toilet doom scrolling and does anyone play the game? Should I stick with full tomato farms for food or should I try to unlock wheat and switch to it? I only have 2 thinkers pondering at the tree and +4 research doesn’t seem to cut it and progress feels slow. But I am expanding a fair bit and nearly occupied the whole map so should I halt expansion and focus on research? This is my first run and halfway through summer.
