When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.
Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.
What are your own examples of this?
I mean, you can also get some taste in your water by drinking tea.
If I wanted it to taste bad and bitter, sure.
Btw, if tea is too bitter for you, rooibos might fit better. Plus there are all kinds of herbal ‘teas’, or rather mixtures, that don’t contain tea proper — at least where I live. Although tea itself has barely any bitterness if you use a smaller dose of green tea, or something like white tea.
Of herbal or aromatic teas, you might want to choose those with berries or flowers, since they impart some sweet flavor, but still far from the sweetness of fizzy drinks. A bonus benefit is that there are a lot of different flavors. One should take from life all that it has, after all.
Tea (black and green) is only bitter if you don’t know how to make it. Get good quality tea leaves (not the ones in the bags, they are usually the worst quality) and look up what temperature the water needs to be for your kind of tea. Usually around 70-80°C for green tea and 80-90°C for black. Especially green tea is only bitter if you prepare it with boiling water.
bro doesn’t know how to put sugar in their tea
If I put sugar in it, I might as well be drinking soda and juice again.
HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE YOU PUTTING IN YOUR TEA!?!?!?
ENOUGH THAT I CAN USE IT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PANCAKE SYRUP IN A PINCH IF NECESSARY!!!
YOU’RE SICK IN THE HEAD!!! YOU… YOU ABSOLUTE PANCAKE!!111
Don’t put sugar in your tea - don’t drink calories.
If sweetening with artificial sweeteners tastes “bitter”, try a trick: Use packets of multiple types - one “equal”, one sucralose, one stevia, for example. You get the sweetness from each and not enough of the background bitterness (which is different).
That’s the main reason Coke Zero is pretty good as compared to Diet Coke - different formula, but they use two artificial sweeteners and get that affect - sweetness from two sources with half the bitterness (since each is different).
Oh no! Not the 48 calories! In my 0.7 giant fucking mug of tea! My diet is ruined!
Like, seriously?
You understand that most of the beverages are far less calorie-dense than your average snack, meal, or whatever, right? And that our stomach capacity is limited? Once you drink enough of even the sweetest tea, you won’t have the room for anything more dense for some time.
Do what works for you.
thanks for the permission, chief
So letmme explain how this works: I expressed my opinion about not drinking calories. You’ve offered nothing but a shitty attitude back at me, while I was clarifying that you should, in fact, so what works for you.
So at this point, you can piss off for all I care.
Do what makes you happy and fuck off, kiddo.
