The Insomnia Thread

How many of you out there can't adjust to a "normal" sleeping schedule to save your life.

I find it almost impossible to sleep before 3am any day of the week and getting up anytime before noon is a downright struggle.

I fear the time when I have to work a regular 9-5 job.

My addiction to TA doesnt allow me to sleep before 3:30am.

It's probably been 2 years since I last had a normal sleep schedule. Other then that I cant sleep a stright 7-8hrs like I used to, now my 8hr sleep is interupted with waking up 2-3 times through the night.

This is nothing more than a discipline issue. You will have to adjust when you get a regular 9 to 5 job - so I suggest you start now.

Tips:

1) Work in small increments - make your bedtime 30 minutes every 2 weeks until it is between 10 and 11 pm.

2) Remove all entertainment and distractions from your sleeping area. Sleeping are is for sleeping, nothing else.

3) Make sure your sleeping area is quiet, dark and well ventilated.

4) Discipline yourself to actually go to bed at your designated sleep time (laying there doing nothing if necessary) and wake up at your start time (forcing yourself to get out of bed). Don't delay getting into bed - set a time and prepare to by that time you are in bed. Don't delay getting out of bed - get up, have a shower, get moving.

Good luck.

I'm usually up till all hours of the night/morning, but I NEVER have trouble going to sleep. It's one of my traits that I'm thankful for - I'm asleep 5 minutes after head hits the pillow (or equivalent). I'd hate to just lie there and not be able to go to sleep.
