3am again. Been dealing with the usual — lying there running through tomorrow's to-do list on a loop, checking the time, hating myself for checking the time.

The one thing that's been kinda working lately is just putting on rain sounds. Not music, not a podcast, not guided meditation (those honestly stress me out more). Just steady rain. Something about it gives my brain something to latch onto that isn't my own thoughts.

Curious what everyone else uses. Is it rain for you too, or something else — fan, white noise, brown noise, thunderstorms? And do you find looped tracks work or do you need it to be continuous for hours?

Would love to hear what's actually worked for people who've been at this a while.
