We always had at least one spades tournament on the mess decks for any underway more than 2 weeks.

I use old.reddit.com on desktops because their "updated" interface is absolutely horrendous. There is a tab in preferences to opt out of the redesign too.

Having a bedtime routine that I stick to. At 9:00 I will drink my chamomile tea and at 9:30 I will put away my electronics and read until I fall asleep. I have found using a red headlamp to read also helps me relax as opposed to having a lamp illuminate my room. Blackout curtains also do wonders.
