I was once really unwell with food poisoning. Between l’ardeche and the ferry we had to stop over 10 times for me to vomit or explosively shit. I was so unwell I couldn’t tell which way was up, I was convinced I was sitting upside down for a significant part of the journey. I was hallucinating like I had taken mushrooms. When I got home I thought I had gone straight to bed but woke up still delirious wondering “did I?” “No I can’t have” until I checked my emails and confirmed I had purchased a bargain set of nearly brand new chris king hubs. The had been built into a wheel but never used.

Bringing back chocolate was the quid pro quo for getting a weekend pass to London. Sadly other half doesn’t like montezumas.
@onyerbike someone else has mentioned Dark Sugars too but I made my return home last night. Am back in London for Easter so will investigate DS then.

I use sleep meditations. But the habit needs to be a regular thing and now when I hear Michael Sealeys voice it almost triggers immediate dozing off. He does very effective hypnotic suggestion meditations they are available on YouTube and some streaming services eg Tidal. Occasionally (once every couple of months) I remain conscious for an entire hour but generally they are really effective. I have aftershokz induction earphones so they don’t disturb the person who is the person with whom I have entered into a long term partnership (how the fuck do I say “my wife” without offending someone on here). I use them every night.
I also have a pre bed routine of reviewing the day to see if there is anything (task/emotion/conversation) unresolved from the day and work out what needs to be said or done the next day to sort it out. It helps relieve the stresses of the day as there is now a solution in the pipeline.

Someone on here suggested darn tough socks to me, and I have been very happy with them.
