Oh I was a huge Gears of War fan during the time. Interestingly enough, Cliff Bleszinski, the Game Designer has cited Resident Evil 4 being a major influence in the over the shoulder. I watched many interviews when I was younger I also remember them talking about how running in GoW only made you run 10% faster lol

Cool to reminisce

My husband does this!! He watches this episode of Bobs Burgers every night. It works for him.

I did!! I used to lay awake and struggle to fall asleep. I also used to be okay as a college student and gamer getting 4 hours of sleep.

Thus, no more. I got a job I actively work 8+ hours and when I lay down now I KO within 5 mins and sometimes mid conversation with my husband.

I of course want to leave you with more tangible things to try.

Once, with my friends, we went to a spa with a salt room. Best nap I have ever had in my life. I was then inspired to improve my quality of sleep and these worked for me:

• Sleep face mask (I dont know if weight makes a difference?. Mine is unweighted)
• Weighted blanket. Make sure to look up the math on your size and weight needed
• Quality bed. (Nolah)
• Quality pillow (Coops Home Goods Pillow)
• If all else fails, reading in bed puts me to sleep.

I swear I’m an adult but my friends and I also have adult sleep overs lol. I have found some use white noise machine, ear plugs are among some things I haven’t tried but works for them.

Good luck on your sleep journey!

Not old and yes very true older adults naturally sleep less. But my sleep has changed significantly since I have aged.

I got old.
