neekabeAnnoying side effect of eye goo: I have to maintain a 'correct' sleep hygiene and it's improving my life XD
I'm staying up a little later but I'm falling asleep sooner after I go to bed because distractions are physically less possible.
Last week I was in the middle of reading a fic and just had a little more to go and decided to read in bed, so I put in the goo and then blinked enough to be able to mostly see and read. And I woke up in the early hours with eye pain, and it's the kind of pain that is a significant deterrent, but just an annoyance. I repeated the experiment later and ended up with the same thing. So I can't just 'rub the cream in' and have it work. I can listen to all the podfics podcasts and such, but I will fall asleep to those, where I can stay up reading.
