I can't sleep!

[CrazyHarij]

Any suggestions? I try lots of things, self hypnosis (rather, self suggestion that i'm getting calmer and more tired etc), listening to calming music before and while I try it, but sometimes, like now, I just can't. This sucks. I have to get up for school in 3 hours.

They say insomnia does wonderful things to creativity though.. But I dunno.. i hate not sleeping.

Discuss.

Baseball bat to the side of the head.

Caution: Sleep could be without a set duration.

A coma! Sweeet.

Like that slacker saying, consciousness is that annoying time between naps.

It's hard to say. Calming, relaxing music. Masturbation. A glass of warm milk, maybe with some nutmeg sprinkled in it. More masturbation. Just... not games. Gaming before bed gets your adrenaline pumping, and makes sleep impossible.

Sleeping pills, That should do the trick

 

[panda_rage]

jump around in circles or do some physical excercise that should tire you.

Sedatives.

Some of the best sleep I've ever had was under the influence of sedatives.

 

[spookymooky]

Maybe it has to do with your signature?

I worked out about 4 hours before I went to sleep.
Usually this gets me a good night sleep but now I've got about 2 hours left to sleep before I have to get up, and I've gotten no sleep at all. And yes, I've tried to sleep since I last posted.

Maybe I should get some sedatives, because it always take me quite a while to go to sleep if I don't blank out instantly. But that doesn't help much now, sigh. I feel really ****ed in the head. Getting lots of nice musical ideas but i really just want to ****ing sleep.

l00t fr00t and eat for w00t

[panda_rage]

lets just hope that when you go to sleep you don't have ennuis dream

 

[CrazyHarij]

You obviously haven't read the dreams I've posted quite some time ago.

The strangest thing...

I sleepwalked for the first time a couple of nights ago- 'woke up' with my face pressed to the floor outside my room at the top of the stairs and i'd cut my nose and hip where i must have landed lol.

Strange thing was, i hadn't actually woken up, cos i was walking around feeling like i was totally pissed, and snapped out of it when i got back into my room. I hear its bad if you wake up while sleep walking? I did, and it was like snapping out of being drunk as f**k.

Scary stuff- locked the door to the balcony last night, just in case i did it again

If you can't sleep than don't. Do something useful like fix up your bike, or paint something. Eventually you'll get tired and go to sleep. I find lying on the couch watching Fraiser puts me to sleep.

Playing Tales of Symphonia at night knocks me the **** out in about 5 minutes flat.

Find a good (or bad) RPG and play it.

 

[kaf11]

My solution? Beers.

Its working for me as we speak.

 

[JNightshade]

Wow... I thought you said "bears". I spent a little bit trying to figure that one out

 

[Teta_Bonita]

I can't sleep!

then don't! You can actually stay up untill untill your tired enough, fall asleep, then wake up an hour later and feel fine. Well, at least I can.

 

[h00dlum]

I cant sleep sometimes, it always happens when i got something important to do the next day.. :S

 

[Absinthe]

I was gonna say alcohol, but you have school soon. Oh hell, drink any way.

Seriously, just stay awake. And when your day is finally over, you'll pass out nice and good. I've found that if I'm tired and only sleep for one/two hours, I often feel even worse once I've woken up.

So did I. Then 1/8 of second later I read it again and understood.

I once went about a week straight without sleep. At the end of the week(thankfully the weekend) I just collapsed on the floor. I didn't go to sleep for a week because someone bet me 50 bucks that I couldn't do it :thumbs:

If I was paid for each week I couldn't sleep, I'd be a millionaire. :|

Not as big of an issue now though, since it looks like my roommate is a no-show.

 

[Nat Turner]

If you can't sleep, then don't. I mean, the only reason I sleep is because I have to.

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

So what happened? Tell us what you did.

I played some ToS last night and BAM out like a light. Woke up about 3am and turned the TV off, crashed out again then woke up when I was supposed to take the trash out, forgot, crashed out again. :DDD

Sometime's it's good to start yourself into a story. Just think of a scenario like an average school day and act it out in extreme detail. Eventually if you can imagine well enough you'll forget you're trying to get to sleep and you'll drift off.
Thinking about sex does the same thing, AFAIK.
