I like to play horror movies on my phone while I sleep because it makes me have nightmares and I love me a good nightmare. Adrenaline is a free drug. Sometimes I do it too many times in a night though and I get too hyped to sleep.

Adrenaline is a free drug.

Not very pleasant. Too much during stressful driving, negative impact.

Like almost all things, it is good in moderation.

When I'm too pussy to do something and someone really pisses me off, adrenaline makes me a shaky tough guy for a while. So yeah, it has its uses.

Have a coffee. It relaxes me.

Wow awesome idea! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve had a nightmare. Even then if a demon showed up, I’d often grab it by the face and bite a chunk off.

I think I had a nightmare like 5 months ago. I woke up and was like… was that… a nightmare..? Holy cow!

What movies you put on loop?

Well I don’t really put them on a loop. My brain is weird. People normally have like 3 hours of sleep before they enter rem sleep and rem sleep is when we dream. I enter rem sleep immediately upon sleeping. I didn’t know this until I taught myself to lucid dream. Idk why my brain works this way. So whatever I fall asleep to will sometimes play into my dreams. So just creepy videos or movies will do it turn on auto play on YouTube. Like a couple months ago I was watching halloween link- https://youtu.be/AJ21AhULdO4 And my dream was me being chased through the house by a monster. Or I’ll go to sleep to 28 days later. I really like zombie dreams. This is a good movie website though If you want to try https://dopebox.to/home

Better yet

Cure your screen addiction by planting some crops and raising some chickens and/or goats so you don't starve when shit gets worse.

The best part of that plan is you can't lose. If shit doesn't get worse, you end up with food that has no chemicals and you save money. So you still win

Like the Amish. If you flash your cell phone at them, they'll hiss and recoil just like a vampire from a cross. It's pretty neat actually.

reduction of depression and anxiety

Odd that. 🙄

All you need is some self-control. Just decide you're not going to escape on your phone all the time. It's a little harder if you're a more social person, because you need to put effort into coordinating it with other people at the same time, or at least find them then. Completely giving them up may be necessary if you're really addicted. But if you're not, you can get a lot of benefit out of just turning it off for a while any way.

It's actually a good idea. There's only one problem, how do I get my Poal fix?

Everyone here live on a massive self sufficient homestead so couldn't we build fires big enough to communicate via massive smoke signals?

I'm thinking a big hub of strings with cans attached at each node.
