Trouble Sleeping Thread

There's several things you can do to sleep easier and better, but if your problem is chemical in nature none of this will help you and you need a night at an actual sleep clinic.

-Exercise more in the day. Variety helps. Cardio, muscle-building, a bit of everything. If your average day doesn't include such, work it in there.

-Adjust how much you're eating at different times of the day. Big breakfast, lunch smaller, light dinner. Eat a bigger lunch too if you're burning a *TON* of calories after lunchtime though, if your sleep and food intake aren't enough your health with start deterioating.

-Set a personal cut-off time for absolutely *ALL* media. No phone, intrawebz, books, TV, music, and especially no vidja gaemz. If you can't handle having nothing to occupy your mind, do something mind-numbingly easy and repetitive. Get your brain to start shutting down.

-Good sex makes sleep easier too. No joke. It's one of the many benefits of relationships. Yes, better sex means better sleep for the most part.


If you keep having difficulty sleeping, don't neglect it. Not being able to sleep fucks up your whole life, from a medical standpoint. You can't "make up" for lost sleep either. Over the short term it's just exhaustion or whatnot, but over the longterm it damages your brain and weakens your immune system amongst other things. It's bad yo.

I personally prefer third strke Chun Li mirror matches.

Anyways, here a technique you can try: since you can't go to sleep until four o'clock, make that your bedtime. Over time start going to be a little earlier in intervals until you have reached your goal bedtime.
 
If you're desperate enough for sleep, then talk to your doctor about taking prescription medication.
or if you want something less serious, over-the-counter Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can aid in sleeping. I know its commonly used for allergies but can help with sleep also.

Personally, reading a book with a hot cup of tea puts me to sleep instantly.
 
What do you find is keeping you up? There are different ways to deal with different things. I've had/have like a thousand sleep problems. I've been good for the most part, recently, after experimenting with melatonin and tryptophan. I was prescribed Ambien and amitriptyline, though. I really didn't like what the latter was doing to me (even though that shit worked like animal tranquilizer) and...I was having too much fun with Ambien...but it's really not a drug that's supposed to be used for extended periods of time and started getting less and less effective at putting me to sleep after a while.
