I cant sleep

missyob · 28th April 2005, 05:09

I just cant sleep tonight. It is 1am and I have to be up for work at 5:30 am.

My body is tired but I cant fall asleep.

I have been in that situation many times before, and I will probably be there once one am rolls around tonight.

After this post I think I will go lay down and just try to relax, after a little while I will get bored enough that I will fall asleep (I hope)

I know the feeling all too well.

Hope you fell asleep Missy, I've been on a double-shift at work, started 15:00 and went home 07:00 today... I am dead tired so i think I won't have any problems. Gonna hit the showers... and go to bed... laterz and try to read something. Always works for me.

missyob · 28th April 2005, 05:29

laterz all.

Any suggestions on how to fall asleep? I have tried everything I could think of.

I guess this whole thing with my sons teacher has me totally freaked out. <see breaking news>.

what I usually do is turn off all lights and other noises and make it as quiet and dark as possible then. Then I close my eyes and think of something relaxing and comforting. It can take as long as a half hour but I usually finally get to sleep. Just keep your thoughts relaxed and try to focus on the center of your head behind your eyes.

I love it being pitch dark, but the silence is deafening. I have a fan or AC going to produce a lull hum.

Jay · 28th April 2005, 05:44

i use the hum in my head

No, I am not kidding.

missyob · 28th April 2005, 05:47

OK KXRM I will try it. If it does not work I will report back. If you all do not see me post again until tomorrow I am in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz land dreaming of sexy men and sun and sand............

LuigiHann · 28th April 2005, 05:49

I can't sleep either. But I'm going to try right now. Again. Ironically enough, earlier I was trying to read a book, and couldn't help almost falling asleep, but after I finished reading, instead of letting myself go to sleep, I had to be an idiot and get back on the computer O_o bah.

missyob · 28th April 2005, 05:51

get off the computer and go to bed

Oh wait, I should be saying that to myself also.

ScorLibran · 28th April 2005, 05:59

You're up too? I thought I was the last one up this late in Atlanta.

missyob · 28th April 2005, 06:13

Yea, I am still up.

I wish I could be sleeping like this...............

hmm you have to get off the computer to try my technique

I know how it is to be an insomniac, I used to be one. I wouldn't sleep for 32 hours and I still don't sleep too long.

Missy: A trick I used was I would drink some Hot Cocoa right before I went to bed. That always made me tired or prepared for bed. Since most of it sounds psychological, you might want to train yourself to drink hot cocoa to get yourself tired. Even though I am young, I have already conditioned myself to get tired after drinking hot cocoa. It worked.
