I can't fall asleep

[E20]

So, it's been the third night in a row where I will just lie in bed with my eyes closed and I won't be asleep for like 3 hours get like 1 hour of sleep then wake up again until dawn where I will get another 3 hours of sleep. What do people recommend I do..........

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Alcohol
drugs-over the counter, perscription, or illegal
reading a boring book

[ALVAREZ6]

Reading a boring book works really well.

Go for a long walk/ run in the evening- might help you release excess energy.

The thing is that I am tired by the time I go to sleep.....I lift weights/workout.

I mean, for real.... technical books are by default mundane to begin with but the best technical writers
realize this and compensate with humor at the very least to try and keep you going. But this guy is about
as flat as they come.

Jack off before you to to sleep. Duh.

That's what the boss does. And it only takes him about 15 seconds once he finally gets it up.

It always helps me if I change my environment. Move to a different bed or a sofa, floor, whatever.

[John Patrick]

Buy some sleeping pills and take about 12 of them.

You will hallucinate a bit but you'll go to sleep for sure, right after you see satan standing next to your bed.

You guys are attributing to juvenile deliquency. Where is ZStomp?

It's not booze dude. Put it on a rag, put it up to your mouth and nose, and you'll pass out.

E20 is just being a drama queen! I bet he doesn't even have a job. Look at the Troll forum, he posts 24/7.

I'm really surprised that E20 isn't passed out by now. I figured he'd be tired of riding Norcal's penis all day and night.

It's my day off. I usually fucking relax and sleep all day................I'm not saying I work 24/7. I work 5 days a week 32 hours total. My other day off I usually see if any friends are available to hang out with, but that's it.............My summer has BEEN GAY and BORING.......GOD............and I start College in 2 weeks.........

This can actually keep you awake longer as exercise energizes a lot of people. It's better for your sleep schedule to do cardio-type exercise early in the day.

As someone who has dealt with really bad insomnia on and off for several years, I've found that the things that work best for me are reading a boring book and drinking some herbal tea (the Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea is really good for this). I did biofeedback therapy for my insomnia and anxiety several years ago and have some muscle relaxation tapes from that which also do wonders for getting me to sleep, so if you think some tape-hypnotherapy might be a viable option for you then you could do that.

Use medication carefully and sparingly. Sometimes the only thing that will get me back on a schedule is a night with my dear friend Ambien, but that happens a max of once a month.

damn you should be a doctor. good advice :tu

It's fucking 3 o'clock in the morning and I can't sleep.

I blame this thread.

The internet is the most common cause of insomnia. So many sites, so little time.

A valid point. Usually if I can't sleep it is because I am wound up from the stresses of the day and need to walk it off.

You tea suggestion was a good one. Also eating oatmeal, like a cookie, I have heard helps you sleep.

What about warm milk and 3 over the counter sleep aids? :sleep :sleep :sleep
