Smonster, one of my friends did post something about feeling like his Facebook feed was overtaken by math zombies.. (The comments then devolved into mathnet cops fighting zombies) .but I know he's down with the cause (even if he's a straight dude) so I was amused rather than irked.
Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I enjoyed seeing the sea of red bars on FB today, and they included a couple or three people who I might not have anticipated. But I for sure wasn't checking off a list or looking sideways at people who didn't. (Partly because the very few people on my f-list who I might've got blocked during Scott Walker.)
Sometimes I try sleeping with an eye mask on, but I usually end up taking it off.
I tried a sleep mask, but I'm just too 'princess and the pea' when it comes to sleep.
The room isn't totally dark, but just cutting down seems to have helped heaps.

Our apartment has two bedrooms, the middle one (which is currently Emmett's) and the big one (ours, which faces the street). I used to be in the middle one for years and it was SO dark and SO quiet and I got such good sleep in it. It really made me realize how much that can make a difference.
It took a long time to get comfortable with the sleep mask. But true dark is amazing and it has an incredible effect on sleep quality.
I'm wondering what the long term benefits will be. Short term, I'm loving it.
I already sleep with ear plugs...have for decades. But dark thing is a revolution in my life.
I liked the pressure on my eyes with the sleep mask but, truth to tell, I've got an ENORMOUS head, so every strap is too tight to be comfortable.
I may have to plump for a true blackout curtain that actually fits the window.
bonny, if sleep is more important than short term aesthetics... cardboard and wide painter's tape to block the windows.
I have left two messages for my therapist over the last two days to try to reschedule my appointment from Friday to another day because I'm not going to be in town on Friday. She has yet to call me back. I'm really torn about what to do about her. On the one hand I find her helpful, but on the other hand she is scattered, disorganized, and unreliable.
I'm really leaning that way, smonster. Had I known how much darkening the room would effect me, I'd have pulled out the cardboard ages ago. I'm pretty good with a glue gun. Maybe I can cover some cardboard in fabric to make it more presentable.
I'm wondering what I am going to do in the summer when I need to have the windows open.
