I finally linked my improved sleep quality to the mindful practice of hand-stitching before bed.

My coworker Mia stitches for twenty minutes before bed, and her sleep is DEEPER now.

What?! I can't even sew a button back on without getting super frustrated and stabbing myself with the needle. My hands would be all cramped up, and I'd be staring at crooked stitches. That sounds like the opposite of relaxing to me, I'd be wide awake stressing over it. Good for you though, if it works.

Did I tell you about my friend Sam? She used to get so mad at sewing, but one night she tried stitching a basic tote bag just to kill time. She got really into matching the thread color and making even seams, and it actually calmed her down. Now she mends stuff when she's stressed, says it clears her head.
