— from one insomniac to another —Your mind is running. Tomorrow’s worries, today’s replays, things you forgot to do, things you should have said. The thoughts aren’t going anywhere on their own.
Most sleep advice tells you to optimize, track, hack. The actual work is the opposite: put the things down somewhere that isn’t between your ears.
That somewhere is paper. The Midnight Brain Dump tells you exactly what to write.
Your brain doesn’t want to stop. It wants to know it’s done. — from inside the guide —
What it is: one PDF, thirty templates, ten categories. Five to ten minutes a night. Paper, not phone. Read it once. Use it for years.
Stay propped, dim light, notebook on your lap.
Five to ten minutes. Phone face-down, far away.
Use the decision tree on page sixteen if nothing is loudest.
Bullets, fragments, no punctuation. Permission granted.
The thoughts are off you now.
Thirty templates, organized into ten categories.
Plus — the Midnight Card.
Tear it out. Keep it inside your notebook.
Thirty of these. Each has a prompt at the top, a one-line principle below it, and an example of what one real reader actually wrote — fast, ugly, lowercase. The example matters: it shows you that the practice doesn’t need polish.
When one of these would help at 3 AM — get the guide for $19.
Bedside Guides is not a meditation app. It’s not a sleep tracker nor a self-improvement project.
The Midnight Brain Dump is one PDF — you read it once and can use it forever. No subscriptions, no apps, no notifications filling your phone at night.
We care about what we send you. If you sign up to hear from us, you’ll get a few short notes over the next week, then a quiet note every couple of weeks. Only when there’s something worth reading. Never at 7 AM.
A meditation / sleep app
The Midnight Brain Dump
A blank notebook works too — until you're staring at a blank page at 3 AM. The templates are the part that tells you what to write.

Journaling is slow, and it’s for insight. This is fast, and it’s for release — you’re emptying the room, not redecorating it. Ten minutes, ugly handwriting, then you close the notebook and put it on the floor.
Most 3 AM thoughts are real. They’re just louder because everything else has gone quiet. The templates don’t solve the problem — they get it off you and onto the page, so you can stop holding it until morning.

No. The Midnight Brain Dump is a writing practice for a mind that won’t settle — not a treatment. If you’re waking most nights, or something feels clinical, that’s worth a conversation with your doctor. This won’t replace that.
Bedside Guides is one specific moment: the moment between turning the lamp off and falling asleep. We make short, practical guides for that moment.
