Can't Sleep

lostwords

Clown will eat me



sunday night rolls around and it never fails, I can't go to sleep. Just watched Spice World while browsing the internet, now Varsity Blues is on and I need to finish it through to the end for no reason. have drank warm milk and peed and rubbed one out. Still no luck. Just keep thinking about the work week ahead and if i don't get to sleep soon, the week will start out on a bad note and just shut your eyes and go to sleep damnit and so it goes

How do you get yourself sleeping? What goes through your head right before you go to bed? tell me so i can steal your ideas and go to bed.

note: dreams are boring and no one cares

M.D.

I usaully just start reading when i'm tired but can't sleep. After a few chapters i'm sleeping and then I wake up and notice i drooled all over my kindle or dropped it on the floor and curse myself for doing that.

I have a very hard time falling asleep. My mind never wants to turn off or even slow down. I just lay there and try to think of nothing for hours until I finally doze off.

one time i had a dream that a hamburger was eating me!

Any kind of noise keeps me up. I need silence to sleep.

Dichotomy

noooo don't cite me it is my only weakness

Dreams are not boring

I should be asleep right now. I just yawned and really warm tears went down my cheeks and it made me even more tired.

This week is probably going to be shitty. Got almost no hours scheduled but I need money bad. Gonna sell a kidney or something soon.

I have a hard time falling asleep as well. I usually play my DS or PSP and just play until my eyelids get heavy.

Oh also when i am in Toledo I have to sleep in the RV in my parents backyard and it is creepy as fuck. I've taken to sleeping with a small knife under the pillow even though I know it is totally unreasonable for me to be so scared of my own backyard.

that's how the boogeyman gets you

overconfidence

i just generally go to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow

if I'm still awake after 5 minutes, I get up and get a drink, that usually does it

sometimes I read before i sleep, sometimes not

also the sheets have to be over my feet because of a dumb fear that started like forever ago when an old dude on a coast tour in south carolina told me about these scary old ladies with no skin that steal you by your feet in the night

MrMonroe

alcohol

or weed I guess

I don't have very healthy habits when it comes to sleep regulation

natek

I have had some good dreams, let me tell you...

Melding

it's too fucking hot to sleep.

Don't talk about your grandma like that, Unde.

Aww Lost that sucks, insomnia is the worst

Often I find that getting away from electronics helps me to sleep. Anything with a glare (monitors, televisions, whatevs) seem to make it more difficult to sleep while books and magazines help me relax enough to doze off. Good luck!

Also I clicked the simply noise link and sat there in a trance for a minute- that site is dangerous

addendum: i only care about natek's dreams

i have this fear if my feet are pointing towards a door before i go to bed, so i always make sure to set up my bed with feet pointing away from the door in any room i sleep in

Dichotomy

man what

if your feet are pointing away from the door that means you lack line of sight to the door

and that is just not acceptable

@Tox I just clicked the G+ in your sig and then spent 15 seconds trying to come up with the exact difference between a "pic" and a "photo"

Tox

can't sleep

won't sleep

I Win Swordfights

I call somebody

Or I jerk off (which doesn't always work so I have to go for round 2)

Or I think about having sex with all the people I know

Or I think about having super powers

It always works for me.

One of the nice things about having my own apartment with no roommates was that after almost 10 years I finally didn't have a computer in my bedroom. And, since I'm kind of a dork, I usually leave it on overnight, so with my own place I was able to just put it in the main living room and retreat to my entirely dark and quiet bedroom.

Then I decided that wasn't worth an extra $800/month (woo Bay Area) and now I have roommates again, which means my bedroom is now basically where I live again. It's like college, except with fancier toys.

i am not good at sleeping after weed

i don't know

it's not that it keeps me up

i just find shit to do, shit to eat, shit to shit

Not if you are a flexible person, or your bed runs parallel to the door, so you aren't pointing your feet at the door

i used to have a terrible time getting to sleep

but recently i've been exercising more and just getting up at the same time every day and it means that now i wake up before my alarm at 7 am

it's weird as hell

there's so much time in the day when you don't sleep in
