So I find myself unable to sleep, again. It's not that I'm not tired. I am. Thoughts keep racing through my mind and I keep worrying about everything and nothing. Lying on my back, staring at the ceiling, trying to make sense of life.
Anyway, this thread is not about why I can't sleep or how messed up I am, but rather, I was wondering what you all do when you can't sleep for some reason. Count sheep? Drink warm milk? Take pills? I want to hear your sleep stories. Share with me people! _______________ make install -not war |

well i dont know about other people but no complaints here  .
i feel a lot more...involved in life, i guess. everyone else sleeps so much but i never really get much. 3-4 hours is good enough for me...and im in great health. maybe thats from those million injections i was given in the military...hmm... *flashback to peanut butter shot* and no, it's not as delicious as it sounds. _______________ - Sten Yuseph This comment was edited by Sten Yuseph on May 05 2007 04:08am. |

So I'm up again. This time I have a large coffee to blame. It's all good though because I'm on vacation.

When I can't sleep I read something that is REALLY boring. I also play the staring game by staring at the designs on my comforter for as long as I can without blinking. That works really good and usually the next thing I know is it's morning!! _______________ RIP MOM 06/29/58-07/31/08 Married to Koyi Donita 4/30/11 |

I have a similar sleep disorder. The doc said it was just a version of insomnia and recommended sleeping pills but...hey, I hate sleep and turned down the medication.
I'm always finding myself 'overthinking' and can't really do anything about it. Meditation helps but...once my head hits the rack It kicks up again. But I see sleep as a waste of time, so I just do other things like work out or watch tv for a little if anythings on. An average night I get about 2-6 hours of sleep.

interesting read...
hmmm i think those voices are the sign of either some troubles you have or simply inability to calm yourself. also it is possible that when you live in active environment where everyone speaks a lot (yourself included),possibly even too much,then you just cant calm yourself when all you hear is silence, so the brain which is such a smart thing, creates those voices/ppl/opinions. ofcourse it may seem weird to hear something totally ridiculous or senseless in your head, but brain is like... how many times you caught yourself thinking 'what i just did?', 'what im doing?!' and ofcourse dont forget dreams, some sort of virtual reality where some unknown entity selects the environment,story ,role and maybe even character you will be. there are many things you cant control, one of those is yourself. scary but its true
but seriously. whatever. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Interesting. I have something similar, yet different from time to time. But it occurs to me that I sometimes start to discuss with myself in my head. Which wouldn't be that bad at all, but sometimes all "participants" , so to say, share one opinion and so it somehow goes down in my head as "right" or something like that. This things then tend to build up some and might lead to fatal decisions. It usually comes to that when I had trouble or quarrel with someone that I usually respect and don't appropriatly talk it out. Then there is so much left unsaid and undone and theories go in my head. And well, yeah, this might be dangerous when opinions start to set in my mind. Could end up to freak out and yell at the person next time, etc. So in that case I try to get stuff talked out as soon as possible. Just my 2 cents here on that. Hope i didn't bore anyone here

I just lay there in my bed, listening to my crazy thoughts about everything and nothing (Seriously, sometimes I freak out on them. It's like I have multiple* personalities and they have huge conversations in my head. It really is hard to listen to them, they talk so fast but their words have sense and are rather interesting), watching the ceiling and the next thing I realize:
1. It's either morning already and I have not slept a bit 2. It's morning already and I do not remember when or how I fell asleep 3. It's morning, I am in someone's bed I do not know, and my body is naked/bloody O_o * - by multiple I do not mean 2 but more like 5 or 6 (females too) _______________ Proud owner of Malak's 50th and special 300th, Alex D'Kana's 3600th and 4000th, Laziana's 200th and [Jawa][Obi-Wan][SW]'s 1300th comment. |

Discovery channel works pretty well, but you cant turn the TV off when you think youre ready to go to sleep. Leave it on and go to sleep.
If you're still in school, do some homework. Have a drink. Read a book. |

Thoughts and worries keep me up here and there. What I usually do is open Photoshop or 3dsmax and work on something that I know I wont finish. When I work on it a bit, I end up dozing off after shutting down thinking about how I'm going to finish my new project. Although, that usually snips off an hour from how long I get to sleep. _______________ "Deos fortioribus adesse." |

I have something heavy to eat, like nuts, followed by some orange juice. This usually keeps my body busy and allows me to sleep easily. Additionally, when I have a cold, I slope my pillows and I can sleep much better.
If I really can't sleep, I watch TV or use my computer until I drift off. |
