Been through this before, so I know it gets better eventually, but what do you folks generally do to optimize beddy-bye time? To the insomniacs, what are some things you do in the wee hours/early morning for a relaxing start to your day?

This morning's choice is checking out the music of Casiopea - saw them mentioned in a meme here recently, then later on saw one of my favourite gig spaces has a great local fusion jazz band doing a show covering them at the end of the month. Very chill, feels like menu music of a mid-90s Japanese 3D game in a very good way, lol. Funny how these things happen sometimes, kinda like seeing the car model you just bought everywhere on the road shortly after purchase.

Lol, found it - Beautiful Goats: Portraits of Classic Breeds by Felicity Stockwell. My prevailing theory is that there's a group of folks in my city who just put holds on everything and pass on the titles they don't actually want.

Good tips!

Ohh good sleuthing. My library doesn’t have it:( Are there any holds on it now?

I’m racking my brain for another theory because I don’t understand reserving a book you don’t want, but I’m coming up blank!

No holds, 2/5 star user rating on my library's catalogue site, lol.

You can see how I came to this conclusion - haven't the foggiest otherwise.

Really is boggling—don’t think I’ve seen that many holds on anything at all
