Just realized walking my dog beats my $50 noise machine for unwinding
I know everyone here loves their fancy wind down stuff, but I have to disagree on this one. I bought a $50 white noise machine back in January because I read it helps you relax after work, and I used it every night for about 3 weeks. Then my dog started begging for walks at 6pm so I gave in, and by the second night I noticed I was way calmer than I ever got from that machine. The machine just masks noise. The walk actually gets me out of my head, and I stop replaying dumb emails from the day. I still use the machine sometimes, but it is like putting a blanket over a messy room. Has anyone else ditched a gadget for something this simple, or am I just lucky my dog is stubborn?

My $200 weighted blanket is currently just a very expensive dog bed if that makes you feel better. But yeah, when my dog gives me the look I can't say no, and those walks do way more than any gadget ever has. Something about moving your legs and not staring at a screen just resets your brain.
