i'm thinking i should go to the gym and physically exhaust myself
but i have a headache
i'm not used to messed up sleep

drugs are good.



























and of course by 'drugs' i mean Neo Citron...knocks me OUT!!!!!

I'm never very good at sleeping, sometimes I sleep lots, sometimes I cant sleep for weeks

Exhaustion sounds good, or else a hot bath (did that already), camomile tea, hot milk, sleeping pills! read a book!

I dunno, I guess Id sleep better if these things actually worked better! Sleep well Emm

oh and someone posted recently that you shouldnt go on the net at nigt if you cant sleep, because the light from the screen confuses your brain and makes you think its daytime So Im outta here!

eat a good diet
learn to deal with stress
get plenty of exercise
sleep in a comfortable bed with good sheets
stay away from caffeine and other stimulants
turn off the tv

Exercise, meditation or yoga (I can't sleep when I'm stressed), get an eye pillow (filled with buckwheat & scented with lavender. It really helps me). Some of these things might sound goofy, but if they calm you down you're going to sleep better.

Melatonin helps a lot of people.

Intoxicate yourself in someway...that usually kills my horrible insomnia

Just have sex until you're too exhausted to stay awake.

Usually I get tired after reading a few pages of a book unless it's really really good and can't stop reading.

Just tonight I saw a commercial for some kind of relaxation body wash. It's in a purple bottle (as if that wasn't enough reason to go out and buy it!) and at the end of the commercial, they showed a whole line of stuff, including body lotion. I am guessing it has probably got lavender in it.

Lavender is one of those scents that is supposed to be calming. If you can't get the product I mentioned above, maybe you could get some lavender candles or scented oils to burn.

Otherwise, try reading a book about an hour before your bedtime. That way, as you read in bed, you are getting your physical body relaxed. Also, try to avoid eating anything before bed and stay away from caffeinated drinks.

Oh, you might also go back and look for some sleep-inducing threads here on the Org. There might be a few...

I only have one suggestion, and for me it is too late: DON'T HAVE KIDS

TMPletz said:

me too, I have 3 boring books on the go and I haven't got a clue what's going on in any of them, but I'm asleep after 2 pages!

yeah i shudder to think what i would be like with constant sleep disruption.
auntie can pull that off for a while and then she needs to recouperate

I'm lucky if I can get in an uninterrupted 4 hour stretch if they all wake up once in a night: nightmares to "my pyjama buttons are undone! " to "I can't find my pillow oh, there it is, sorry mummy " then I am lucky to get in a 2 hour stretch. Baby Max is the least worst waker upper of all of them.

Some of ya'll are nasty and need to be prayed for.
With that being said....
I really don't like to sleep anyway. I either can't or end up having these WILD assed nightmares/dreams. The other night I dreamt that I was chasing this white dog all around my apartment, then I finally got it out the back door, then I yelled out "IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN MY APARTMENT!?!" and 2 middle aged(hot)spanish men came out my closet with nothing but white towels on and holding blue and red glow in the dark necklaces like you get at Hershey Park. It's shit like that that makes me want to stay awake. I'm on my way to bed now. I've been un 36 hours. But I'm gonna start a little thread first. Something to tie ya'll over until 2morrow when i'm back on here causing trouble like I always do. see now i'm just rambling.

Read my threads and posts...that rambling nonesense will bore anyone to sleep or death which ever comes first.

here's my suggestion..

avoid crystal meth..
and smoke weed..

Try Melatonin vitamin supplements.
