Seun:
Hello Nairalanders,

I'm Seun, the founder of Nairaland. Talk to me about what Nairaland is like for you. What's good and what's not so good right now.

I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features. It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.

So, talk to me. What should we focus on in order to encourage you to start being more active on Nairaland?

PS: I have people dropping me messages presuming that Nairaland is over. What's that about?

East vs West war, and war against the female gender should stop. If you can achieve these, I bet more people would engage. How many ladies are here in nairaland? Some mischievous people derive joy in posting fake news about drug kingpins just to fan the flames of tribalism towards the east.

Babysho:
I've been having sleepless nights for over a year now. Back and forth with doctors and sleeping meds.

I'd sleep around 10 or 11pm and be up 2am or 3am, wide awake like I wasn't just sleeping, unable to sleep back. I noticed recently that my heart rate would be high when I wake.

I'm this close to quitting my job because of insomia.

I've tried hundreds of remedies, chamomile tea, all sorts of sleep inducing fruits, sleeping medications, yoga, warm bath, nothing works.

Help.

firstly: do away with alcohol, benzodiazepam and its derivatives, do away with pregabalin if you're using any of these to catch cruise, and cut your consumption of fried foods like yamarita and fried plantain. Secondly: limit your water intake and consume more of semi ripe bananas to balance your fluids. Thirdly: ask for magnesium glycinate or the ones that come in the prohealth tube. Please do not take the trisilicate or the ones that come in suspension (antacid), those are used for a different purpose altogether. Take one a day. For the tube one, dissolve one in a glass of clean water and drink.
