Getting A Good Nights Sleep

Has anyone got any advice on how I can manage to have one. I just can't switch off, it doesn't matter how tired I am.

Benadryl. Take two of those and within an hour you'll be nice and sleepy.

Yeah I have been thinking of trying something like that. Although I hate taking pills or whatever its starting to get outta hand where I'll go two days straight with like two hours sleep.

I'd avoid pills. You could end up dependant on them.

Al's actually right, as long as you have no moral objections to it. Masturbation is a proven relaxant. Plus, you know, it's fun and all that.

I had trouble sleeping awhile so a friend of mine bought me nyquil...It works for him, but I actually haven't tried it yet. I've been sleeping okay lately.

nyquil or anything that is supposed to put you to sleep does the opposite for me

:neutral:

For me, sleeping is a challenge and a waste of time
and when i get stressed i get really bad nightmares which are not fun

so yeah i am anti-sleeping

For awhile there I was anti-sleeping because I didn't think it was worth the frustration.

Seriously. It really fucking pissed me off that I couldn't sleep... After awhile I would stay up and draw or something for an hour or so and then sleep.

Hmmmm

Go on a bender. Sleep is pretty much garunteed....and so is a hangover

Actually alcohol is the only thing for certain that'll make me sleep, but unfortunatly I amn't a big drinker and would like to remain that way. I will leave it for a little while and if my lack of sleep continues I may go to my doctor to see what he recommends.

yeah i'm hard core insomniac, i can't turn my head off at night, sometimes i don't even relize i've been thining about something. Try reading, it doesnt really work very well for me, but it sometimes helps a bit, if your eyes are exhausted it's a bit easier

ME TOO!!!! :mad:

It really, really sucks
My brain seriously will not turn off sometimes
It keeps going and going and going and going...
:neutral:

and then i realize that i have been unconsciously thinking the whole night and get no sleep

Last night i got like 2 hrs of sleep
I was tired but i need extreme silence to fall asleep and last night everybody in my house was walking around and talking and i could hear people outside

and then for some reason when I am laying in bed, tired, my logic starts to fail

Last night at 4 AM I was convinced that my heart was beating faster than normal and that I was going to die in my sleep or something, so I spent a half an hour trying to put my hand to my chest and feel my heart beating

When I woke up I realized how stupid I was

:neutral:

Weird things happen to me at night when I can't sleep
