Does anyone else avoid negative content or conversations before going to bed?

Bc of its impact on the subconscious mind, ofc if you're detached from it that's different

I have been having a real hard time getting the images of the recent Texas School massacre out of my head. Especially at night.
Imaging what those children went through, watching their friends being...
Wondering if they were going to...
Trying to imagine the grief of the parents
Tears come to me regularly lately.
Gusman · 61-69, M
@SW-User I do like to keep abreast of what is going on. I am very sensitive to grief and at the moment, I am keeping it together for the most part.
I see the sadness that is pervading society and it disheartens me immensely..
SW-User
@Gusman i understand you but why would you willingly put yourself through that when you know you're not in the state to handle it
Gusman · 61-69, M
@SW-User Because it (my grief) is not debilitating and I do not really mind showing true emotion.
It shows me that even with my mostly shunning society I still have tremendous empathy.
SW-User
I try never to leave a fight unresolved and whenever possible to give my day a happy ending before sleep. I don't like to carry negativity into my dreams.
SW-User
@SW-User same i used to be the opposite but i wished i learned it earlier to never sleep in that state, there's even a verse never let the sun set upon yout anger
SW-User
@SW-User very wise
Sometimes I watch a bunch of gruesome videos of real deaths before I go to bed & I don't know why because then I lay there in bed with it all replaying in my head. It's kinda traumatizing
All in moderation. At times, researching on the negatively thrown words at you bore amazing affirmatives for lifetime.
SW-User
Yes. Part of the reason I often stay away from SW before bed. (Today being an exception...)
SW-User
@SW-User same i actually turn airplane mode on before getting to bed bc i used to be so into creepypasta lol

Would be some heavily rooted negativity if it's following you to bed. Best to cut it at the source.
SW-User
Yes all social media is turned when I go to to bed, don't want the drama queens to think I give a shit

I try to avoid it especially at my house because I feel like the energy resides
SW-User
@DeluxedEdition exactly, i remember those experiments on plants that proved the how impactful an area's energy can be
JestAJester · 31-35, M
I avoid it cause i dont want to be angry at the world anymore. If i wanna be happy, i cant stay mad all the time

@SW-User lol when i typed it i was pulling off an all nighter sorry it sounds so pretentious, and im not rlly into biology so ik microtubules are needed for cell division
No but i probably should..
I watch too much infuriating crap on tik tok before I go to sleep
SW-User
Yes, it makes you feel horrible. I think your body and mind need peace at night.
snofan · M
Yup. Especially here. So many things, opinions, and people are so triggering.
SW-User
I do try to avoid it, at all times. Try being the operative word 😀
SW-User
Yes I do because of the dark smudges on my brain if I get too far into it
it's meaningless conversation isn't it?
SW-User
@Jabulani yeah i remember some toxic conversations where all we did was complain and be negative, so i included it in the Q
PassingThrough · 41-45, M
I try to avoid it in general not just at bedtime
SW-User
Absolutely I do

I find at night before bed is my most negative frame of mind. Usually a night's sleep helps.
DDonde · 31-35, M
probably should but I don't
Yep. I usually log off from here around 10:00 and start playing video games and watching one of my favorite TV shows.
I turn off all social media at about 10:00. From 10:00 p.m. until I get sleepy is streaming TV shows and PS4 time.
