  • Something like counting sheep - but in reverse.

    1. Count down from 100 to 0
    2. Imagine each number ( like you are viewing in a calculator display or in any font you like )
    3. External thoughts may come and go , consistently come back to the last number you have seen.

    I usually wander in external thoughts for .5 or 1 sec and come back to the last number. Then, sleep somewhere between 50-30

    1. For morning time / loud surroundings, use a White noise music. Low volume on a Noise cancellation earphone.

    Thank you for this lengthy reply ! Yes, I do have social anxiety. I do try to break it many times but inherently it is there. Without a very good reason, I will keep it in the comfort zone ( lazyness + anxiety , I guess ).

    I may need a set of friends who are not judgemental.

    Yes, I do small talk.

    Sometimes I want to continue that relation. But, most times 1. I dont remember their face or parts of the talk 2. I just dont actively think about continuing ( Its like I have to put a remainder on that talk - quite dumb ? ) 3. They might be disinterested in the next time ( partly, I believe of silly way of expressing things )

    Thanks, I do have curiosity about learning like most persons I know.

    What kills my curiosity are :

    1. Too much basics to learn
    2. Inconsistency/Lazy zone/Comfort zone
    3. Family/Kids

    Its like most people’s attitude ( If I am in that better place/position , I will learn more. In current place, I have to take more effort so I wont try at all ! ). So, thats a part of my dumbness .

    I dont think it’s sleep apnea. It’s like my processing power is low,or cannot multi task

    I snore rarely and get 6-8 hours sleep any day. One I think I feel good about this job , I do not need to think about work tasks at my home, and sleep within 5 minutes I lay on bed :) ( I still hate night shifts , btw ) .

    Get drowsy and have to fight nodding off while driving? Do meetings send you to a seemingly impossible fight with staying awake?

    Were you having low hours of sleep during these?
