Ok, as alot of you have seen, I have been having a lot of problems sleeping as of late. The problem seems to be getting consistantly worse. I was just wondering what all of you may use to help you sleep. I am hoping that I overlooked something. Please advise!  _______________ RIP MOM 06/29/58-07/31/08 Married to Koyi Donita 4/30/11 |

If you're having those nights where you're tired but can't actually get to sleep, drink half a beer and curl up in bed with a book. Don't drink more than half a beer because alcohol messes with your REM sleep, i.e. getting drunk may put you out like a light, but you won't be properly rested because you won't dream enough. If you're under 21 and live in the United States, you didn't hear this from me. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

LoL I almost never have probs sleeping Only when its EXTREMELY hot (like now ) then i cant sleep good.But to the point Try to do something relaxing before ya go to bed. Reading a bit, listen to some music (not loud), drink something like milk(coffee,cola,things with alcohol aint very good) clearing your mind of things that bug you like Sil already said. DON'T : Go watch TV or get behind the computer these things make ya more awake and make it even harder to sleep. Drinking alcoholic drinks alcohol doesnt make ya sleepy either (unless ya drink till ya drop ).Else i'd suggest visiting a doctor cause bad nights of sleep can lead to SERIOUS problems and i dont wanna see you get them Hope it helps and keeps us informed |

I watch some T.V. afore I go to bed, then maybe turn some music on for 5 minutes. Maybe a soothing night light might help as well, or a .... lava lamp _______________ -ShadowSith: CTF/gunner specialist. |

I don't usually sleep well either. Every now and then I'll stay up on the computer all night, maybe try sleeping or reading, and go for a run and watch the sunrise to start a new day.

perhaps it is just the way your trying to sleep. the position. I've just realised I sleep in the same position each night. lying on my stomach, with my head turned to the right. half hugging the pillow. but I don't instant start there. when ever I get into bed. I'm lying on my right shoulder and my right hand just under the pillow. about ten minutes later, I roll over to my proper position and it doesn't take long to fall asleep. so give it a try. _______________ .Lag Bro to Xanatos.

Don't sit at your 'puter!!! Seriously though, try listening to music in bed. It works a charm! Doesn't matter what it is, as long as it isn't too loud. Hope your sleeping pattern fixes up! |

I don't really have any foolproof remedies. I just have a lot of stuff I need to do before I go to bed. You see, I can't sleep if there's something bugging me, be it physically or mentally. S every night before I go to bed, I make sure I'm not hungry, don't have to use the bathroom, etc. My room also needs to be cool. I have soo much trouble sleeping if it's hot. I also shouldn't read in bed.. Then I just keep on reading, until my eyes hurt If you really have problems with falling asleep, you could always start drinking heavily, but that's not exactly recommended _______________ Second-in-command of the mighty FiZZsters |

For me its just, Lie down, Bam Sleep. But I got some things. What you absolutely must NOT do is start thinking about what will happen when you fall a sleep. Then you will not be able to sleep anymore. Have a glass of milk before you sleep. Relax a bit, dont sit behind the pc all night, stop about 1 hour before you want to sleep and watch some tv or read a good book. But relax yourself. Its not good to be tensed up. But if you are really having trouble sleeping and I mean really beeing awake for hours go see a doctor then because its not good and they can help you with it.

hmm i don't seem to ever have had any trouble in that area, but try and do something relaxing before you go to bed. going to sleep straight after an exciting JK2 session is not real good. usually what i do if i can't sleep is take a shower, drink a glass of milk, and then read something in bed until i feel my eyelids get heavy. now if your problem is much more serious, you might want to get some professional help. don't let this get any worse. i hope this helps. let us know if things change  _______________ make install -not war |
