Listen to yourself breath. It relaxes your mind.

relax your body

no, really, I've never found a way and I am an insomniac too
...read smth...

this may sound like dumb advise but its true.... drink some alcohol before you go to bed, like 2 drinks or so. ever notice how when you're really drunk the time between you laying in your bed (or anywhere for that matter) and falling asleep is so much shorter then it would have been normaly... there's a reason they call it a night-cap

this may also sound like a wives tail but its true too. when you warm up milk it releases a natural chemical that puts you to sleep, so a hot cup of choaco will ease you to sleep.

smoke weed, wack off, work out excessively , read a book....

STRAIN your body physically, TRUST me you'll sleep. IF that doesn't work, add warm turkey meat and a glass of warm milk to the equation. If THAT doesn't work, I suggest to ask your best buddy to punch you out.

yeh i just keep thinking of things, its worse now global gathering is coming up!

also alcohol works but i have to pay for that, no home made substitutes? hehe. also tried wanking b4 doesnt works neither


cheers for the suggestions orzone, sounds like they might work!

watch the same movie every night while you're trying to fall asleep. it works. once you start sleeping regularly again, you can switch-up your movie selections...

or just wack-off lol

:P

just stay awake, you'll get sleepy eventually


Posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 on Jul-09-2002 06:35:

Step 1: Headphones

Step 2: CD Player

Step 3: Chilled Euphoria CD (Mixed by Red Jerry or Solar Stone CD2)

Step 4: GOODNIGHT!


I sit in bed and just think the whole time too, but if u try out this method and get into the music u'll be out in no time.


Posted by gOOD-tRiP on Jul-09-2002 06:48:

just force yourself to wake up early one day and you'll be so tired at night you will just knock out. if all fails keep going to sleep later and later, eventually you'll reach going to sleep at night again.


Posted by lMIlk on Jul-09-2002 07:09:

my prob before was everyday i would go to sleep at like 4-5...so i just stayed up all day so i didn't get sleep for a day and then i went to sleep at like 9 aclock the next day, so everyday now i go to sleep at 11 now


Posted by EarnYourKeep on Jul-09-2002 14:14:

heh..i hate this..
solution...bang you head on the corner of your desk until you black out...then you'll wake up...
the only downside is that you some times wake up in a pool of blood LOLS...ok maybe not the best method but hey...it's knocked me out before or should I say i knocked myself out..
jk jk jk
try lying on your side and putting a pillow between your knees/calf area...iono for some reason dat shit knocks me out...i guess its comfort~


Posted by Damo on Jul-09-2002 15:13:

physical comfort won't do anything when your mind's not at ease...


Posted by igottaknow on Jul-09-2002 16:10:

Listen to some boring late night AM radio show. My friend likes to leave the tv on.


Posted by Vivid Boy on Jul-09-2002 16:28:

take some nyquil (not to sure abt spelling) and wank it if that doesnt work i usually go to plan b which is usually the same as plan a , wank it.


Posted by jinxed84 on Jul-09-2002 18:24:

wank it
put on some chill music maybe an ISOS or some chicane
watch tv with the volume low
yeah turkey works contains triptophan (spelling?)
and the warm milk thing

hope you get to sleep

Fresh air,go for a walk it helps me sometimes.

A other way is to go visit a doctor and ask if he could get you some

valiums, imovane or something like that.

But I dont now if you see that as drugs..


Posted by _Marco_ on Jul-09-2002 18:54:

tumtum tum tutum tutu tum tututu
tumtum tum tutum tutu tum tututu
(with the faithless - insomnia air)

same here m8 i cant sleep


this is hard to fight

I've always been bad at sleeping, and there are only three things that help when I'm lying there awake staring at my ceiling:

1) Booze: If you have some red wine available, neck two glasses as quickly as you can. You aren't drunk, but it certainly makes you feel woozy enough to sleep, but not so woozy that you end up with a hangover. May sound unhealthy, but consider the health benefits that red wine has been proven to cause mate.

2) Sleeping Pills: not the chemical, prescription stuff though, because it's too easy to become "dependant" on them in that you can't sleep without one in you. Try the natural stuff - it doesn't know you out, but relaxes you and thus makes it easier to sleep.

3) Don't sleep: if you don't feel tired, ffs don't go to bed. If you get into the habit of staying up till 5am writing messages on trance forums (ahem) just stay awake all day and go to bed at some reasonable hour the next night. You'll get your sleeping pattern back in no time. Or, alternatively, only go to bed when you feel tired. You'll start associating your bed with sleep rather than something else.

I may be drunk right now, but that oughta help I'm thinking.

DO push ups like a hundred of them , you'll fall asleep after that , if not go for a run around your neighbourhood , everyone has their own remedies....

I used to do that back in the day when I insisted to myself that I should get some sleep, today I barely sleep , frequently skipping sleep and living greatly that way it brings life under a whole new perspectives ( I call it sleep privation energy ), like if you were doing drugs and getting mad addicted.

Used to love sleep , like so many people do, or at least the comfort of my bed, today I stay away from my bed the most , lifes to short to be wasted sleeping

you should also like be creative writing stuff, drawing etc etc I don't know

it's one cup of red wine a day not two


there's loads of factors to growing old, having stairs in your house being one of them but that's beyond the point.


Posted by Vivid Boy on Jul-09-2002 19:41:

and if those great ideas dont work u can always wank it one more time


Posted by Renegade on Jul-09-2002 19:47:

So long as you make your hand sleep in the wet patch....
