Default Getting to Sleep

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

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 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.

I can come home from work, go straight to bed, and it'll still take an hour or so drift off

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

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.

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

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

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

Ugh, I sound like an advert

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