Suspicion and nightmares are most undelicious

Since becoming a POSI I'm finding grinding my watchful and shadowy far too slow. I've not been the most social of players as I don't like inconveniencing people, so I've mostly been relying on the options in my lodgings to reduce scandal and wounds, but this has allowed me to easily increase my dangerous and persuasive without too much hassle.
Getting rid of suspicion and nightmares is a royal pain though. For nightmares I have to take trips to Hunter's Keep, or hope for luck with resting and the Merry Gentleman. For suspicion I have to wait, Ablution Solution is not worth the money, and due to my aforementioned antisocial nature flattery at Dante's isn't something I can easily benefit from.
I can't help but feel there should be some way of lowering these more easily as with other menaces. I understand going to prison wasn't really an issue before, but with the recent addition of criminal records I'm loathe to return to New Newgate as I don't know if there's any way to expunge your record and I'm worried about negative consequences. I don't want to go to the Mirror Marches as I'm not flush with Memories of Light. As such I'm really feeling impeded.
Am I just being an idiot and missing something here?

Laudanum is pretty much worthless after becoming a POSI, I can make faster progress just spending time in bed and waiting for the Merry Gentleman to show up, and all for free with no habit.
I'm evidently not having much luck with opportunity cards either, they don't turn up fast enough so I spend days or weeks grinding persuasive or dangerous until my suspicion is back down to safe levels.

There's a lot of cards that reduce Nightmares, actually. You can side with the Urchins against the Widow, you can spend a little Rostygold on the Church Faction card, you have the regular Nightmares reducing card, you have Dr. Schlomo's card (third option), you have another Dr. Schlomo card, you might have God's Editors' card if you obtained that item...try keeping an eye out for them.
Suspicion doesn't have quite that many cards, but for that I just bite the bullet and use 2 bottles of Ablution Absolution whenever my Suspicion reaches 5. You can also check out options using Shadowy that don't raise Suspicion, like fooling Gullible Spirifers in Spite.
