Let's rant about my insomnia problem

[Arthropod]

As you might not know, I have chronic insomnia problems, ranging from 1 to 4 night awake per week. I ask you guys(and gals =D) some ways to better sleep instead drugging myself, thx =)

Drug yourself XD


Nah.

Try:

• Warm glass 'o' milk
• Some hardcore noob pwning on gb
• Airconditioned room
• LIGHTS OFF, DAMNIT...
• Fantasize about things

If all else fails, go to your doctor for sleping pills. DON'T OVERDOSE, I WARN YOU

Have wild, passionate, abandoned, animalistic sex.

Works for me.  Every night.

=/ I always sleep light off, I have fans in every single piece of my house, and I'm too young to have sex.

How about trying to get yourself tired out as hell, do a bunch of jumping jacks, sit ups, push ups, or whatever other exercises.

Too young to have sex, eh? heh.

For some reason Fight Club came to mind .. Sleeping pills always work or just take a couple Tylenol PMs

Keep your tv on. Or some relaxing music on the radio, like sounds of the ocean or jungle or somthing.

Both of these have worked for me... especially the soothing sounds... in fact, I'm going to buy one of those CDs again.  There's nothing like the sound of a gentle spring thundershower to knock your ass out.

eh.what angie said will probably be your best chance....if your body is exhausted to the point where it can't really even move anymore...well...even if your mind doesn't want to fall asleep...it will be forced to.  of course getting to that poing won't be easy...

and if nothing works...eh...just stay up...get use to getting little sleep and still being functional.  you get more time to get work done...

Well, I have similar sleeping problems, but not that bad! I've never gone more than 2 nights unwillingly... The only help I can offer is strenuous activity during the day. Only thing that ever really works for me.

Or hell, try attending some self-help groups. ^_^

w00t.

[Arthropod]

Self-help groups at 13? I'll look like a jackass <_<

I'll try busting my ass off at some sweating, I'll get back to ya if it works. Thanks, darkmagnolia.

See: Fight Club.

Roffles.

Wee, another night without sleep, I tried the trick, but my belly hurted like hell for some reason so the pain got me awaked

[Imag!nat!on]

You know, you guys should consider my fantasizing option.

Guess what, every night I fantasize about me being my RP guy, Pierce.

HECK, I CREATED PIERCE IN MY MIND MONTHS BEFORE I JOINED THIS FORUM, ACTUALLY.

Well, i just think about my adventures, blah blah blah, then i fall into a DEEP sleep.

I mean DEEP; I sleep through the loudest of alarm clocks.

Just remember, when trying exercise (a few sites say this) try it earlier in the day, at the latest before your last meal.  A lower body temperature is a good when trying to get to sleep, and exercising boosts it.  A fan may help a lot, it not only cools the room ... it also makes a nice steady noise (some people need background noise to sleep. Sux but it's true)
