Give me some cures for insomnia

redkat · 06-29-2005, 02:43 AM

I can't sleep

What helps you get your Zzz''s?

timothius · 06-29-2005, 02:45 AM

Well you're pro says that it's 10:44AM...

My first piece of advice would be try to sleep at night

redkat · 06-29-2005, 02:51 AM

Haha I can't change my profile or at least I couldn't figure out how

I'm in so cal so it's almost 3 a.m.

timothius · 06-29-2005, 02:54 AM

Try the User CP tab up the top, it's in there.

I get Insomnia once a week or so

... its great. I think just roll with it, I've always found I find it a lot easier if I go to sleep willingly rather than stressing over the fact that you can't go to sleep. Go and do somthing that you enjoy thats not over stimulating and just go with it, I generally pop on here or watch something vaguely interesting on TV. In an hour or two im ready for ZZZZ's.

redkat · 06-29-2005, 02:59 AM

Hooray! I did it. I figured it out even before reading your reply Timothius, really I did

Thanks for your help though. I think I'll hang out for a while

redkat · 06-29-2005, 06:22 AM

^tried that didn't work. Still up no point in sleeping now

I'll find something harder tonight

daafish · 06-29-2005, 08:43 AM

Come to one of our mechanics meetings, my boss will put you right to sleep.

BrownEyedBoy · 06-29-2005, 09:00 AM

Ugh, I get insomnia every once in a while. Try to get a good sleeping schedule. Wake up at one hour every day and you'll go to sleep at the same hour - or so I've heard; I haven't tried it myself.

C-SPAN

Exactly right !!

Especially 'American Perspectives' as that program would cure anyone who has insomnia

pax · 06-29-2005, 11:20 AM

Benadryl, red wine, or a warm bath.

impy13 · 06-29-2005, 11:39 AM

Listen to the Killers. They put me right to sleep with their monotone vocals and boring music.

redkat · 06-29-2005, 11:41 AM

^Ooh I like the Killers except for a couple songs.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Tonight will try more liquor and drugs watching C-span in a bath that ought a do it

briarrose · 06-29-2005, 11:43 AM

Sometimes I take melatonin. That usually puts me to sleep in about 30 minutes.

In theory, this does work really well for me.
The one flaw is that I never actually make it into my bed... I usually end up asleep in the bathroom

redkat · 06-29-2005, 11:47 AM

^ LOL that's funny

briarrose I took melatonin last night plus the 2 drinks

It has worked for me in the past though.

How many did you take? I've been taking about 4. That's probably too many but sometimes I'm desparate.

redkat · 06-29-2005, 11:55 AM

No I only took 1 that's what the bottle said. Damn bottle

Try more tonight. If I need my stomach pumped after all this I'll let you know
