iono Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Set your alarm for 5:30 am and get up at that time no matter what time you went to bed the following evening (wake up and go running would be your best bet). Eventually your body will want its 6 to 8 hours of sleep a night, sounds more like nerves before your job interview bugging you.

leather Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Let me know when you find the cure. Every night alone with my thoughts. When I do sleep I dream of murder , crimes or I am communicating with the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Petchburi Pete Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I know the feeling ... mind working overtime when I should be dreaming. I've found relief through meditation ... particularly concentrating on slow, deep breathing. Now, astral projection ! ... well, I'm not quite at that plane yet.

SiLeakHunt Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Bearing in mind your career status (and I talk from experience) it's probably because you're doing fuck all all day long. I imagine that you might be getting out of bed a bit later than normal, which means when you want to go to bed you're not as tired as you ased to be. Even though it's difficult try getting out of bed early, very early and then being busy throught the day. Also (and I know it ain't easy) try doing some excercise early in the day so that come the time you want to sleep you'll be tired. Dole is freedom but also hell.

Guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 "Every night alone with my thoughts. When I do sleep I dream of murder , crimes or I am communicating with the dead." That's really swell. And do you feel rested in the morning. On a more serious note, I think that the older you get the less you sleep (whether you want to or not) and you need fewer hours. Think how many hours a baby sleeps and think about elderly people being up at 5am starting their day. This is a problem for me too. It sucks. Sometimes hard physical labor makes me sleep better because my body is exhausted. It's when my brain won't stop that insomnia becomes a problem. Still, if you wait long enough you will fall asleep. I think anxiety is very prevalent in (western) culture now and contributes to insomnia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 FJ, 'Slept like a baby' always makes me wonder if they woke up screaming, covered in their own filth and anxious to get their mouth around a nipple. Friday nights will do that to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I have the same problem, just can't sleep some nights, my thoughts keep me awake screaming! I have had some luck with Meletonin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidel Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Try Xanax, I also believe that trying to exhaust yourself physically works too. I used to suffer from insomnia a lot. Trying to chill out whilst trying to sleep is difficult but keep trying....'Step by step' by Phra Peter Phranapadidionot or some such shit provides a good intro to meditation. Getting up and running is a good idea too. Playing computer games relieves the boredom in the mean time. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
