I can't sleep

[DirtyDMan]

I'm tired but I cant fall asleep. I just lay there in bed and my mind wont shot off.

Any suggestion from anyone whos still up on how I could get to sleep?

[Jokersvirus]

just close your eyes and you will fall asleep sooner or later, works for me when i have to force my body to go to bed, but once im in my awesome comfy bed its lights out no matter what.

Hmm, what time is it there? I don't know what you mean by you cannot sleep cause I don't know what time is it in your country now.
Unless you said it's in the middle of the night there or around 2:00 AM. But it could be you are now 12 pm or 2 pm. So I need more explanation.
If you are now in the middle of the night, and you tired, just watched FIFA world cup. Muahuahuahua

[DirtyDMan]

It's 3:00am

[Jokersvirus]

they say cold milk helps prepare the mind for sleep and helps makes you sleepy.

[DirtyDMan]

I kept my eyes closed for an hr and nothing.. I guess I have a crappy bed..

[Charlotte]

It's 3:00am

well, its 3:00 pm here. YEP EXACTLY!

And I suggest go watch FIFA world cup. Muhuahua.
If you still wanna go sleep, go sleep outside you the door. Its better. :P

I'm Watching Casino and It's on Watch Online TV, Sports, News and Entertainment for free at channelsurfing (http://www.channelsurfing.net/)

It's a good site but you cant pick the movies you wanta watch. It just play movies the whole day.

So sometime you miss the beginning,middle, or get to watch the very end of a movie.

It's still a good site tho. You can watch sports, South park, The Office, and UFC fights

[Charlotte]

Hmm, internet tv but yer, if my internet pretty slow, there will be no fun watching it though. :L

clear your mind and slow your breathing and you shall be asleeep

[Newkeh]

usually people who dont get enough exercise can feel sleepy/tired but cant sleep

I suggest you walk/run for atleast 2 hours every day
you could also just do some fun stuff like playing soccer just do something you like where you have to move a lot because when you have fun the time will fly by

it could also be because you got too much coffeine or sugar :b

if its not that you should try stay awake all night + day then sleep at 11 pm (or earlier)
sleeping at the same time everyday is good your body will get used to it

imo mornings are much better than nights but I still sleep late and miss the mornings if I dont have anything to do :b


PLEASE DO NOT TAKE PILLS or any kind of drug / powder drink
it really sucks ass and I dont think its healthy to drug your self to sleep

[DirtyDMan]

I got some sleep.. I try to exercise every other day, I jog for an hr and lift weights for about 45mins. So I got that covered..

I do drink coffee but didnt last night... I just have sleeping problems... but thanks for your advice....

[Subb]

Drink lots of booze and passout. A sleep aid usually works too

[Charlotte]

I guess he already slept now but no!, he is still online. WOW!
I wonder he said before that now in his place around 3 am and now its kinda 8:34 am there. wow he really not sleep yet or am I wrong?

[Subb]

[Charlotte]

Ehem!

I THING ITS BETTER TO SLEEP OUTSIDE.

[EpsilonX]

some tips:

its harder to fall asleep if you're stuffed (but empty stomach is bad too)
don't go to bed right after watching tv or going on the computer and stuff
dont have sugar
exercise during the day
take a shower/bath slightly before bed (not right before though)

(some stuff i found online when trying to get to bed earlier)

[Muffincat]

Man, same problem, DMan. Didn't sleep at all last night; haven't been sleeping well for the past few weeks -.- Can't give you any advice because I obviously fail ;D

[EpsilonX]

after i went to a concert on saturday i couldn't sleep at all that night.

[Diligence109]

I had a friend who was an insomniac (like, legit has actual insomnia) and one of the little tips (among many others that are already posted here) that I remember him having was to NOT let yourself check the time as you're trying to fall asleep. The other big one was the don't watch tv/use the computer before or as you are trying to fall asleep - read a book and/or do some pushups or something.

Sleeping pills aren't a terrible temporary fix when you really need sleep that one night for something important the next day...

[Muffincat]

I dunno, I have prescribed sleeping pills and dear lord they are a godsend. Mine are non-habit forming and non-addictive and I take a rather low dose, though I try not to take them. But.... seriously, taking them is better than not sleeping. Then again, I know what my trouble sleeping is caused by, and it's not something that any advice like this will fix. But just sayin', don't completely hate on sleeping pills. They are necessary sometimes.

But yeah don't take anything not prescribed by a doctor or be unhealthy about it or blah blah. If trouble sleeping isn't a continual, night after night problem for you, then I wouldn't recommend them at all.

[vepanator]

I've tried those sleeping pills. Didn't work.
If I (for some wierd reason) can't catch asleep, I drink something warm, go for a little walk outside (just for few minutes) or I turn on the tv and watch latenight chats.

But usually, I fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow.

Try to eat something warm and soft next time, like porridge. Not too hot, and not too much.

[RaiDae]

I do mental maths... like i double numbers... (2-4-8-16-32-64-etc).
Or stay completely still for 2 minutes. Count the seconds and during that time, don't roll over or anything.
Try sleeping naked, maybe it's the chaffing keeping you awake? or the duvet cover... in fact... just go sleep on the floor.
and if all else fails, shove your face into the pillow .... that'll have you in nodland in no time :)

[Iceskater101]

haha i do that number thing to
it actually kinda works because my brain gets exhausted
so I am tired lol
