Okay...so just...count me in on the small group of people who don't seem to be sleeping well, but if shit would settle down for a hot second, maybe I can try.

That being said, when were all done being shot at and the other less than fun crap that's been happening, I'd like some advice.

Insomnia is a bitch, so is medication. It's not my friend so I need alternatives. I'd like to avoid any future insomnia crashes.

What advice do you guys have?

I'm the ship's hypnotherapist. If nothing else work, we could give it a try.

How does that work?

Re: text

[yer_pretty_good]

Hypnotherapy can help with anything from insomnia to cigarette smoking or other addictions. It can even help suppress unpleasant memories.

It's not a guarantee. Sometimes it works on the person and sometimes it doesn't.

If all of the other advice I got doesn't work, I'll consider it. Sound good?

Is it the dreams? Or are you having trouble sleeping at all?

Re: text; private

PTSD. Survivors Guilt. Terrible dreams.

Basically, yeah. I'm just kinda...on edge because of everything that's been going on.

I should be able to help.

My powers could make you sleep and keep the nightmares away.

have you always had problems with sleep?

Re: text.

[that_cost]

it's been about six years since my sleep problems have started. Or possibly 8. I was young.

[fibrosis]

so basically yes
have you ever noticed any common variables about sleeping well?

[inruins]

The tried and true method for myself has always been tea. I find nice a spot away from my bed for a bit to read whilst drinking tea.

[that_cost]

That sounds relaxing. Do you have a favorite tea?

[inruins]

These days I am quite fond of green tea. Whatever you find comforting is best. I'm not sure just want we have on ship currently.

This is a bit of a late response but I don't have anything better to do while I'm sitting in medbay.

Did you get some good advice?

The only advice I can offer is lavender spray for your pillow. Or having a lavender plant by your bed. The other option —my favorite— push ups. Push ups, sit ups, squats, just general working out.

Re: text;

[that_cost]

Its not late. It's appreciated. Do you want a visitor in medbay? And more importantly; why are you in medbay?


I got some decent things, actually. Tea. Reading. Running until I can't run anymore. Hypnotherapy, whatever that is.

[tearsinajar]

I was in cryostasis for a few weeks. I came out of it the other day so I'm being kept for observation and just general recovery. Tomorrow I'm going in for surgery and then it should be homefree after that.

You're more than welcome to come by for a visit if you want, sure.

Tea? Did you get a specific flavor?
