I totally understand that! I have pretty small hands, so it doesn’t frustrate me as much as maybe someone with bigger fingers. Cross stitching is super fun, definitely! I’ve got a whole set-up up in the ol’ hobby graveyard closet lol
I do Wordle and the other NYTimes games before sleep. Connections usually puts me to sleep. Trying to figure out all those unrelated words keeps my mind from the issues that might keep me awake.
Harm reduction approaches are useful in scenarios like this, imo. For me and my Android phone, this means using the app Twilight to filter blue light from my phone display (iOS has this feature natively. It calls this “Night shift”, and the setting is found under Display settings)
I found a crossword app which I can use to calm down and become tired enough to sleep. Without it I’m kinda lost :D
Sudoku for me.
Picross here, though Sudoku makes its rounds
I hate these on the phone but am an addict on PC :D
Turned out cross stitching satisfies the same itch for me, in case you need an analog option.

Small person, small hands but delicate stuff is totally not my forte :D

Android has also had this feature natively for a very long time. No need to use Twilight anymore
Hah, live and learn, I guess — just goes to show how long I’ve been using Twilight.
