What do you do to help yourself fall asleep at night? What are your musts?

For me, I must have a fan on, simply for the noise. I also must have no light. I usually sleep with 4 pillows- 2 under my head, one between my knees and one between my feet. I sleep on my side, with the lower arm strethed upward below the pillow and the other resting by my legs.

I've also made a CD that helps matters. It's filled with slow jams by Janet and does the trick every time. I usually start on track 8- "Lonely" and am always asleep before the disc is over.

The disc goes something like this after "Lonely."

"Feels So Right"
"Accept Me"
"Come Back to Me"
"Where Are You Now"
"Let's Wait Awhile"
"Someday Is Tonight"
"One More Chance"

I HAVE TO HAVE A FAN ON TOO!!! that's weird, IAN Most ppl hate it..but I have to have it on...even in the winter!!
I think of my "happy place"
I can't sleep with music on...
The TV CAN be on..but almost muted...
Sex is good before sleep, but I find myself WIRED after an orgasm...and can't sleep directly after...
I also CAN NOT sleep in a car or public transportation.
I LOVE to sleep on couches!!! sometimes, more comfortable than a bed!!

Most Koreans honestly believe you can die of "fan-death".

This is caused by sleeping in a room with a fan on and
having the windows closed.

It is something about the fact that if the windows are closed you have no fresh circulating air therefore you will slowly convert all breathable oxygen in the room into carbon monoxide and suffocate in your sleep.

There are probably less than 10 rooms (which are totally sealed air-tight) on the entire planet in which that would actually be possible.

No logic behind it whatsoever but simply hilarious.

Something to think about !

Now you've just completely fucked up his routine you know?

gooeythehamster said:

Sure, you can. He can just do it twice - then he'll sleep twice as good.

How'd you know?

i have to have my closet door shut. dunno why, it just bothers me if i have it open--and no, i haven't had any childhood trauma involvin closets! also, sometimes i put on the prince album and it lulls me to sleep. it's my auditory sleeping pill.

Are you saying that Kylie bores you to sleep?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Me too! If my closet's not closed, I'm just aware of it the whole time and stare at it forever.

I've been sleeping with a fan on every night too. I can handle daylight and movement in the bed, but no sound.

TRON said:

exactly!! and it sux when you're in bed and you forget to close the door, but you're all comfy and don't wanna get up to go close it...

TRON said:

my dad does that, sleeps with a fan on...

Insomnia is a beeeyatch!

I usually write or listen to music. Sometimes watch tv. However last night, the trick was a glass of wine.

insomnia

chico ever had a moonpie? so good make you wanna drop kick paisley!

TRON said:

you guys are trippin out ...get a nightlite...i mean not that I have one or anything

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

And then I spend valuable sleep time deciding if it's worth it to get up and close the damn thing.

Christopher said:

Moonpie??? Is that a drug thing??



Oh..and of course, reading my Bible. Prayers before bedtime.

Christopher said:

OH. :OOPS: No, I haven't had one. They do look yummy though. But I always want to drop kick Paisley anyway, so

Chico319 said:

i like the banana-flavored ones.

They do look familiar.Banana sounds right...I think I have had one...but not recently. I'll go get one and let you know.

i can not really sleep on anything but one of my sides, have to have that arm under my head, the other arm in front of me, usually clutching a pillow.

often, i will put antoher pillow between my legs, especially if it is hot.

soft music is very helpful

i sleep like in a coffin. flat on my back. but my arms are at my sides.
