falling asleep techniques
 

it's almost 6am, had to be up for 9am for a meeting, but looks like im not showing up, i've always had trouble falling asleep, but lately it's getting worse, i can't keep my mind off things, mostly bad stuff that's happened to me all my life, and the more i try not to think about it, the more stuff I keep remembering, anyone got some techniques to help fall asleep? smoking is not an option right now....

Heh honestly, some days Ill go without sleeping for 2 or 3 days, then sleep for 4 or 5 hours...

Done that ever since I was a kid...:(

Try a glass of wine.

try lying on your couch and watchin some infomercials. it sometimes helps...

no wine in the house, actually right now im readig up on lucid dreaming, i was really into it before altho i never really did it, maybe that might help me?

Would that be the one with Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley?:Graucho

Why are you creating another post about this, when quiet has already posted a related topic just several minutes ago? Can you not come up with your own material?

I know them all my heart

I haven't seen it:mad:

BTW, to answer your question, try masterbating or taking some simply sleep

prozak

From experiance I would seriously consider a session with the shrink. A lot of what you are describing can be caused by depression. Sometimes you dont even feel depressed, it just shows as these set of symptoms.

Of course a good wank can help :Graucho

hmm...sometimes I hit "sleep" on my radio, and that plays music for an hour.

Meditating works also, if you know how.

I say just stay up until you feel sleepy. If you find you're getting sleepy right around the time you'd normally wake up, then just stay up and go to bed the next night.

Stop using the computer like an hour or two before you want to go to bed and then read or something.

so do i. i think that's part of the reason it (sometimes) works for me...

Oh please you pussy, she doesnt need a shrink.. ive had shrinks.. they are a joke, they just tell you what you already know.. asuna just needs to grow up and put her problems behind her and get some sleep..

I'm a he you douchebag:(

pot, and lots of it! :winkwink:

lol.. sorry

After 20 years of "pulling myself together" and "getting over it" I went to a shrink. I was put on medicaction and can honestly say I have never felt better, litterally like a new person.

If I had done it earlier rather than listening to people like you I wouldnt have wasted all those years. :2 cents:

Well thats good, I guess your right, some people who have no will power need to see a shrink, on the other hand.. those who do have will power, will know what the shrink will say, because they all say the same thing for every situation

Alot of people have been mentioning I've looked a lil down lately, alot of shit happend in my life near the end of the year, and it's getting worse, and at night when theres no noise, that's when I think of it the most, and then i get anxiety, wich i don't take any meds for, and I don't want to

Well... that's good that you feel like a new person and have never felt better. You make me want to go to a shrink even.

HOWEVER...

wtf is this new, happy, never-felt-better person doing up in the wee hours of the night eh? :winkwink:

"Will power"??

What thread are you on?

Asuna.. here.. now now.. talk to Dr. GeXus.. What is on your mind? What seems to be troubling you?

Im in NZ...... 9pm here :thumbsup

and another thing, im not very open.. im really sociable, but i don't talk about my problems... heart attack at 22..

sleep time

Well its ok to open up, Dr Gexus wont bite.. Hey you know a heart attack at 22 isnt too bad, at least your still alive right.. Hell, im going bald at the age of 20, sometimes i feel down too, but fuck it right.. nothing you can do about it.. so why let it bother me

heh, i've had more serious problems than losing my hair...

Ok ok I figured it could be something like that... :)

So what brain altering drugs are you on then?


And when do you plan on going to sleep?

When did you go to sleep yesterday?

i"m reading all of this before trying to get some sleep, someone told me it'll help if i read it everytime I try to go to sleep, to more or less memorize it, it'll also help lucid dreaming

You had a heart attack at 22??

Naltrexone, Aropax and Olanzapine

I will go to sleep in exactly 20mins...... I know because I took my Zopiclone 10 mins ago :)

ohhh i dont know that you have..

but anyways.. just say fuck it, and move on.. thats typically my answer to anything that bothers me..

Im going bald, fuck it
I havent gotten laid in 2 months, fuck it
I should be sleeping. ahhh fuck it
broke up with my gf of 4 years.. fuck it who cares..

One thing that really was working for me for awhile... and is about to again as soon as I quit refreshing GFY is listening to books on cd/mp3 while laying in bed trying to sleep.

I usually listen to them on my notebook.

Hey look at me, Im drugged up on all sorts of crap that will probebly kill me in a few years.. but i feal GREEAT, never been happier.... ha ha

talking to me?

I don't take drugs, i want to sleep asap
i went to ebd around 4am, was up still at 7am tossing and turning

Man fuuuck all that. I don't want to take 4 drugs in order to turn my life around and be able to go to sleep.

I bet some (if not all) of those drugs they want you to take for life too.

You don't see anything fishy about that? :)

but back to asuna.....


HEART ATTACK @ 22? You had one?

Or you are just predicting one because of all your pent up anger?

Short happy life or long miserable one?

Guess it depends on your priorities..........

Anyway...... see you later..... Im off for a really long, deep and happy sleep

Just do what I do, wait for the sun to come up and then its way to hot to do shit, and thats the perfect time to go to sleep.

yes, not 22, but ifi haev one, it'll be early

how do u know?

i don't, but we never know, i think i'll try something mention in that site i posted, sleep 5-6 hours, stay up 1 or 2 and go back to bed, better chance at lucid dreaming, also, i remember having some tone generator for your brain.. anyone know what im talking about?

oh my god dude, your insane, you just need to relax and take it day by day
