Need help falling asleep

[Ganja]

So lately I've been going to sleep at around 3-4 a.m. but Friday I got a call that they will need me to go to work tomorrow and I tried going to bed at 12 a.m last night but I just ended up tossing and turning until around 3. So, do you guys know of any ways that help you fall asleep?

[Lempi]

Get some sleeping pills or some kind of sleeping aid. We have Nytol in England which is a natural sleeping aid. Not sure what it would be called elsewhere.

[vietxboy911]

um, music, do something exhausting ( fap, or w/e you do ) beforehand, and its suppose to be easier to sleep when it is cooler in your room

[cpinney]

go to bed at 2am thats what i do.

[EvGa]

Melatonin, found at your local walmart.

Serious.

[McLovin1t]

Cooler room helps a lot with sleeping easier. Myself, I like to play videogames or do something active right before I go to sleep. Not too active mind you, so I don't become wired.

[ZaKnighT]

lets say you will sleep at 9 pm.. go clean your house or what ever at 7 or 8 until you feel tired .. take a warm shower go to bed ;]

[Swindler]

Weed.

[ZaKnighT]

Weed.

+99999999999999 and some trance! how could i forget..

[/Pi]

Fap

[TheDrop]

Probably means you've been sitting on your ass all day, so go running for like 5 minutes

if you're too lazy for that, just read a book or chat or something.

[Mirosuke]

Fap

This lol but it sometimes doesn't work at all.

I'd say... clear your mind, take a breath and eventually you'll fall asleep.
Also don't think on 'getting asleep' cause its kind of paradox o_O

I hate when you think of getting asleep and you know if you thinking it you wont fall asleep and it goes around like that like a evil circle.

I'm probably gonna check this out if I can't go to bed tonight. And I guess I'm gonna have to fap tonight

And about the weed I'm expecting a job interview/drug test any time this week so I can't. Why do you think I've been having such a hard time sleeping.

Probably sad if you can't sleep normally without weed. Think about it.

Watch the history channel unless you like history then paid programmings. If you like that then.. uhh.. masturbation! owait mentioned.

[KillAndChill]

Stop sleeping past noon, be active during the day, fap at night, get off the computer an hour before you want to sleep, watch tv (or read) in that hour.

Also, don't use your bed unless you are trying to get to sleep (psychological thing). This means don't do homework, watch tv in the middle of the day, etc on your bed.

[Tig3ress]

1. Queue to enter SRO (on an older server).
2. Sit at computer the whole time.
3. ??????
4. Profit

[dom]

1) Go to work tired
2) Finish work exhausted
3) Get home, eat, sleep at a normal hour
4) Wake up at a normal hour

[Skyve]

I know how you feel,I was caught in that "vicious cycle" a week ago. That one night I decided to not sleep,then for the next 5 days I kept waking up at 4:00 PM,day wasted Even if I wanted to sleep at 2:00 AM,my eyes woudn't close till about 6:30 AM because my body didn't want to sleep(because I kept waking up at 4:00 PM).

Yeah I know,cool story bro.

[vietxboy911]

yeah, and doing something productive helps too

[Azilius]

Doing hard activity right before isn't the solution (like going for a run or working out). It raises core body temperature and makes it take longer for you to get into a deep sleep resulting in less refreshment. Being active during the day helps..but that's not always the plan. Put a movie on low volume and watch it until you sleep, or fap. Either way.

[DinoNuggets]

damn i have an excuse now if my parents ever catch me fappin
"mom/dad i was trying to fap my way to bed"
lol

normally i would stay up for a whole day 2 if i really can and lay down in bed at the time i want to go to bed.

Don't take medication
Stop taking medication
Under no circumstance take medication of any sort unless actually sick

Assuming you are still having problems I +1 what Dom said, that + make sure your body is in a healthy state ( proper nutrition, low stress, etc ).

[EvGa]

If he needs a quick fix to get his ass to fall asleep at a reasonable time, then taking a 5mg melatonin table is fine. I'm not recommending an addictive OTC or prescription sleep medication here that he could become dependent on. Melatonin is produced naturally to make you sleepy, a small dose to facilitate drowsiness will not harm you in anyway. (in b4 comparison to "test" is natural, wut bout roids1!)

Obviously, proper diet, exercise etc is the best method. But to get things rolling, a little kick in the butt (melatonin) may be the ticket, especially when stuck in this sort of sleep cycle.

Knock yourself out two nights in a row with some melatonin at a reasonable time and the rest will fall in place. You'll wake up earlier, have a longer day, and thus be more inclined to fall asleep at a reasonable time. From there try to stay in that rhythm and adjust your diet and exercise if you feel you need to.

/Playing doctor end

[Zyphir]

I've had the same problems for months. In the end, the doctor gave me a very light form of sleeping pills, but they worked. Took them for a month, just to get into my normal sleeping rhytm, and now I can sleep pretty well without any sleeping pills.

Pills I took could only be received with a doctors prescription, so maybe you should go to your doctor and ask some kind of sleeping pills or other medicine. Of course don't take it too long, before you can't sleep without them anymore.

[woutR]

Melatonin is harmless and is actually not really a sleeping medicine, but something to 'reset' your internal clock. You use it with a jet lag for example.

[poehalcho]

I'd recommend eating chocolate. Or even better: Warm up some milk and dip your chocolate in the milk so you can lick it off.

chocolate always calms me down ~.~
If I have trouble sleeping, I grab for the chocolate.

doing some excercises might also help, but you'll need to really heat yourself up. a 5 minute jog won't do much. you'll need to run for like 20 minutes. try going past your normal limit.

[Crowley]

Stay awake until the next night, it's how I fix my holiday-sleeping-habits.

Or just fap and sleep.
