Okay, I might be crazy but if you have trouble falling asleep or getting deep restorative sleep try this routine out!

1. Definitely try to eat something (even an ensure)

2. Melatonin

3. If possible, give yourself a shoulder rub and feet with melatonin massage oil

4. Grab a good comfy over the head—headphone or pillow phones (they are real!!)

This part is important. Make sure you look up somatic binaural beats for deep sleep. YouTube/ Spotify / and prob other streaming services should have one.

5. Make sure you’re comfy (I always wash my bedding) and make sure the volume is at around 60-70% you can also just use your phone speakers but it won’t be as effective. And just close those big saucers ⚫️👄⚫️ and take big deep slow and steady breaths. What’s ever comfortable for ya! Enjoy your restful sleep!

My bf shot up again after not using for a while. He was honest and I guess DID NOT use a clean needle. . . That was a week ago. He complained of his arm hurting for a few days after. Well now a week and a few days have passed, and his elbow has turned red, slightly swollen, no tenderness or anything. He thinks he might have fallen. I’m thinking infection—like MRSA or sepsis.

I’m an ex-CNA (like as if two weeks ago) I’ve worked in this field for 10 years, I’m definitely not a nurse, but I keep trying to convince him to go to the hospital and get checked out. At least to rule out infections… anyone have a similar experience?
