Indeed: Thank you! I'll check them out. And yeah, I was among the first hundred or so to subscribe. That's what ended up sending me here, actually.

gab: Thank you, Gab! I feel pretty welcome already. I've occasionally been telling myself mantras for some time, but I don't think I'm doing it properly/enthusiasticly enough. I tried practising the simplest of breathing techniques, but I don't think I'm doing those properly either. I'll definitely look into meditation if I find any good how-to's. And yeah, my mind's often on fire as I try falling asleep.
I haven't noticed any difference between the nights I'm taking supplements and the nights I'm not. Perhaps most of it is placebo? Thanks for the advice! Maybe I could try practising both? I'll read up on them, at least, that much I know!

EarthInferno: I appreciate the warm welcome! Great to hear that the journal has been effective!

ExoByte: That depiction was so wonderful that I'll probably start dreaming of it. Thank you! I'll savor every second of it.
