Getting to Sleep

[Smithy]

My sleeping has gotten terrible recently, it'll literally take me 90mins to fall asleep after getting into bed

Aside from taking tablets, wtf can i do to just fall asleep, my head is always just whirring thinking about a million things that'll keep awake, sometimes it's important then other times it's retarded, like last night I had a Beyonce song stuck in my head and she just wouldn't piss off :bawling:

dont sit at your computer on tibb all day

When I was younger I used to have great difficulty getting to sleep - I could literally be lying there for 2 hours and still be wide awake. One night I went to bed at like 9pm and I was awake all through to 5am O_O

It's strange because now it's the other extreme and I fall asleep so easily :tongue: I'll be in the middle of doing something then all of a sudden I'm off.

Read a book, force yourself to wake up early or smoke some pot.

[GypsyGoth]

I usually watch movies till I'm tired enough to go to bed and read, I drift off at some stage.

Warm milk ^_^

I don't :nono:
I can come home from work, go straight to bed, and it'll still take an hour or so drift off

It's horrible isn't it :sad:

Forcing yourself to wake up early won't help me fall asleep quicker though :suspect:

get someone to play with your fro

I tried warm milk once but then it tasted horrible. I find listening to the radio helps me drift off (a talk station, not music) otherwise I guess just reading or watching telly until I feel tired. Oh, and flipping the pillow over, the cool side of the pillow :love:

Wake up at 6 after 3 or 4 hours sleep and get back to me. You'll be out like a budding homosexual by 12 that night.

Then comes the establishment of a regular acceptable sleep pattern of waking at 8, 9 or 10 or something like that and going to bed at 11, 12 or 1.

You're going through what most teens do. I quite enjoy it. I know I wont sleep until 5 or 6 so I just play Halo or jack off until then. CBA getting a proper sleep pattern until I'm back in uni.

I did that the other day and it was ****ing horrible :bawling: I was exhausted througout the day drinking red bull which kept me awake till about 3am :joker:

It used to always get me to sleep, that beeping thing they do on it is quite comforting for some odd reason :joker:

Listen to slow songs on your ipod, or count sheep jumping a fence.

[Novo]

Watch Athletics on Channel 4 from 2 til 5 then come 5 you'll be out for the count

[King Gizzard]

Listen to a really ****e podcast

[Kerry]

I try and focus 100% on something else. Like myself all snug in a log cabin with the wind howling outside yet I'm completely safe. Or walking along the beach....... doesn't always work but it's better than the daily crap your brain throws up sometimes

[CharlieO]

Listen to an audio book read by stephen fry. It will make you drift off. Or rainymood.com.

Or just stay up a whole day and have a ****e day but then you will pass out around 9pm. I have thhe same sleeping pattern I sleep at like 6am and then wake up around 3. But I just don't go to sleep at all one day and then it's fixed.

Paul McKenna hypno CD's are good too. I'm not really into hypnosis (infact don't think I'd ever be hypnotised) but they are so calming and make you feel great too :D

Ugh, I sound like an advert

[Harry!]

I just watch a bit of TV and then I am asleep. I am a good drifter.

Listen to a really ****e podcast

Had a real problem with my sleep once. Stayed up all night and made myself stay awake then until 10pm.. went off like a log and woke at 7. Went be at 10 the same night and found it much easier. Usually an all nighter will help reset your body clock - you've just got to try and get into some sort of system and make sure you keep to it.

[Patrick]

Was like this last night, but I couldn't even be ******ed getting out of bed to get anything to help me fall asleep so I just laid there for hours.

Read a book, force yourself to wake up early or smoke some pot.

I'm the opposite right now. Tired but don't want to sleep
