    • If you’re the kind of person to keep yourself busy all day, then when you’re trying to go to sleep might be the first time all day you’ve allowed your mind to wander! You need to find some other time in the day to allow yourself to daydream. Some tips are to not read anything while in the bathroom or turn the radio off in your car if you have a commute. Maybe even schedule some time to sit and think about things if you can.
    • Only use your bed for sleep and sex. Reading, eating, browsing on your phone, watching TV, or any other activity should be done elsewhere. This way you train yourself that it’s sleeptime when you’re in bed.
    • This is probably something that can’t be done if you have a rotating shift, but go to sleep on a regular schedule. Go to sleep at the same time every day. Staying up late should a rare occurrence. Your body will become tired at the same time each day and it’s much easier to fall asleep when you keep a schedule.











  • I had it set to localtime instead of UTC, which for me is -5 hours. Caused me a bit of grief earlier today after making a new post that started out already five hours old!

    It seems like a real pickle though. What if I set my time to a year in the future and make a post? Would that post stay at the top of new all year? I guess lemmy should use the received date rather than what is sent but that could be problematic when things are bogged down or having federation issues.






  • I actually just commented about this on another post, but I’ll put it here too:

    It’s because most phones don’t actually rotate the photo, they just add some meta-data that basically says “please rotate X degrees”. That data is often either stripped or ignored when posted online. The best way to deal with this is to open the image in an image editor on your phone and rotate it before submitting.






  • If you want a diablo-esque ARPG check out Ghostlore. It has some really cool mechanics with the glyphs, skill grid, and food. Oddly enough, the only multiplayer it supports is local co-op.

    Edit: It should be noted that I haven’t tried the co-op yet and after looking at the steam page again there’s a review saying that it’s buggy, so take this recommendation with caution.
