Insomnia

(Yeah, i know there's threads on it.)

So last week i slept probably a collective 7 hours. This week i thought it'd be better, but i just lay awake. It's awful. Tried music, reading, fuckall works. I just lay in bed with my eyes closed, but don't fall asleep.

AND, i have leftover percocets, from when i got my tonsils out in the summer. Good/Bad idea?

If you know anything about insomnia that'd be cool too.

man thats soo shitty. like i hate falling asleep that early for me. but to not sleep at all that must be so hard. + vibes.

but yea really go to the clinic my uncle did it and now he takes little blue pill that sets him for the night but doesnt put him right out. so like if there is a fire or anything he can wake up. its like a sleeping pill but not as strong bassicaly.

Do you ever exercise before you go to bad? Cause that is a bad idea, it releases endorphins which keeps you awake.

Try drinking some beers or something? If I'm a little tired and I drink alcohol without much going on and I don't keep drinking I get so tired. Might be worth a shot.

Cut back on caffeine and sugar after like 6pm. Start getting up and going to bed at regular times. Try to eliminate stress or at least get it out of your mind a little while before you lay down.

The big one is the regular bed time though, eventually your body will get the idea that it's supposed to shut down at that time.

yeah, i don't drink coffee or pop so caffeine isn't in me. (sugar different story)

But yeah i wish i could just turn my brain off.

Even last week on st. patties day i was LOADED and layed awake for like 3-4 hours.

I have an 830 class tomorrow, so i'm gonna force my body to get up....




And take a perc tonight.

Bingo.

If you smoke... try smoking some tree like 30-45 minutes before you go to bed. Once you lay down, you'll close your eyes, open them up and it will be morning.

If you don't smoke... perhaps try this method out. It works wonders.

First off I actually don't smoke weed.

I know it sounds weird but their is an application for ipods that helps you go to sleep, it uses some crazy frequencies. Ya I generally get like 2- 2 1/2 hours of sleep per night and this thing puts me straight out.

Another way that works wonders is find a chick and fuck her. You should sleep like a baby.

nyquil or sleeping pills. I almost never have problems going to sleep, unless I get some wicked anxiety (maybe twice a year max?), and a little bit of that shit about 30 minutes before bed and I'm usually out. Then again, I never really have chronic insomnia or anything like that, so a once-in-a-very-great-while aid works for me.

that used to work for me. not anymore.

ive honestly slept 2 full nights since october. other than that, im up at 1am, toss and turn, back up at 4am and then i just pace around my apartment for a bit.

sometimes reading helps too. ive got through so many books as of late but then again it only works for a few hours for me.

So i took percocets last night, see if that helped.

Just made me feel awesome, barely helped me sleep though. I was more in a state of like, nirvana-ness than sleep. So done with that.

Look up Melatonin, its an all natural sleeping pill that is over the counter and will knock you out within 30-40 minutes, although it does give a sort of tired feeling the next morning for around 25 minutes.

Sometimes when I have trouble sleeping I reverse engineer something. Sounds really nerdy but using my brain to do a 360 rotation around something really helps me fall asleep. I used to smoke and I never had trouble falling asleep. It may be because I was in a zone where I could focus on engineering something but it definitely helped.

Get plenty of excercise, and lay off the stimulants. Endorphins knock you out, so getting freaky just before bedtime is always good. Is something bothering you? I've found that I can't sleep when there's something making my mind race at night...

yeah, a lot bothers me and there really isnt anything i can do about it for a few more weeks. long story short i dropped out for a semester and am living at home again and i fucking hate it.

like an hour before bed try not to look into any type of screen. keep it dark around you. helps your body realize its night and its time to sleep. plus everything else mentioned like exercise more during the day not at night. drink lots of water. regular sleeping schedule.

also to the OP, i have 4 or 5 songs on itunes i can try to send to you, i got it them as part of a Heartmath program for anxiety (had minor from school and stuff in high school) which was scientificically tuned with frequencies and ambient noise to help you relax (maybe enough to sleep) let me know.
