I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Have you tried turning on a radio softly to static or running a fan for some monotonous background noise? Also, dark is good. Dark promotes melatonin production. You can get melatonin pills that can help you go to sleep too.

Excercise reguarly...but not right before bed! Aviod caffeine X2, and in the hour or so before you go to bed, try to tone down your atmosphere if possible. Dim the lights or turn off most of them, watch a TV show with the volume low, or listen to music turned down low. Read a car magazine or the articles in Playboy wink.gif lol...

...and most of all, try not to run through the days events or s*** you have to get done, just tell yourself "save that for tommorow..."
"I bet you drive a standard." "You could make some money off that bet." :D

lolol i was just gonna start a topic like this. couldnt sleep at all the past few weeks. suffering from some sleep anxiety but i think i finally got into a routine...we'll see.

a few things i read on the internet one nite when i couldnt sleep, tongue.gif;

-try getting into a regular sleep schedule and never sleep in (past 8 hours). keep an average of 6-8 hours of sleep.

-set your alarm if you need to then turn your clock facing away from your bed so you dont see the time. this helps in reducing sleep anxiety.

-do NOT start taking sleep aids. keep it natural.

-relax yourself before you sleep...read, have a small snack, listen to soothing music.

-do not lay in bed if you cant sleep...get up and read or get a glass of water.



ive been following some of these steps and its actually working.

melatonin

how to go to sleep:

in a rocks glass, combine 1 part ice and 1 part jack daniels. gently swirl glass to melt ice, and drink.

repeat until desired effect is achieved.

Yeah I'm not saying take pills everynight, once a month, on those nights you really can't get the shut eye you need.

If you want to change your nightly routine, then guess what, you gotta change your daily routine. I bet a 2 mile jog will put your ass to bed.

omfug its still happening!

damn, i guessing its cause my body dont wana sleep too much. i get up at like 12 when i dont got skool and i dont got skool everyday.

so if i sleep at 10 i cant, so my body chills til its like 3 or something so that it gets average sleep and not overaverage.

You know you can sleep too much right??

Try staying on schedule so your body can adjust to a time.

That working out before bed doesnt make sense. I know it gets your endorphins running but i work out before bed about 4 days a week and i go home and 45 mins later im out. but of course im the weirdo at the gym yawning like 500 times during an hour work out.

Hm, I have this problem. I never ever sleep it seems. And when I do, I sleep for 12+ hours. It's awful. Tylenol PMs usually knock me out though.

schedule is your best bet, I would not get hooked on medacine, else your gana get dependent and have to use it to get sleep.

thing that works for me is to try not to think, like if you think about stuff your never gana fall asleep try to just lie there confortable and zone out as best as you can. I have trouble some times but I usualy get to bed at the same time every night and have to be up at the same time every day so I kinda got use to it.

also sleeping in a small bed is not helping.
