Sleep deprivation is worse than being slightly inebriated for me. Insomnia has me used to it tho.

Any recommendations?

I don't do bld, but I kinda sorta use scenarios for playing music.

Story based mnemonics are pretty effective. IMO a mind palace should have multiple touchstones, so choosing words that have a strong emotional connection in general or a specific connection to the last word might be a good place to start.

When I'm playing music, if a chord sequence reminds me of a smoky jazz club, I'll try to recontextualize subsequent chords to that scenario and build on it. Happy chords might be me stepping out for some fresh air, aggresive chords would fit a fight breaking out, etc. Not sure if this helps :P
