That will mess up your biological clock badly or maybe you
already have it all screwed up.

i'm usually too stressed to sleep before classes start again
in september, and before my exams (i have already spent two
restless nights following each other before an exam, pretty
bad but i can't seem to do anything about it)... apart from
these (rather unpleasant) periods, i'm ok.

having spent a restless night doesn't feel as bad as having
slept a few hours (but not enough) for me though.

my biological clock is more efficient than my alarm clock
for waking me up in the morning.

Boring but simple solution; get your ass up in the morning.
Through ten years of studying and shift work, I've had big
problems falling asleep. I started in a new job some months
ago, and have to get ut at 7 every morning. It's hard, and I
always feel like I hate the world from 7:00 to 7:10, but I'm
getting more and more used to it, and sleep like a baby
every night. Now, I'm at work for the first day after a week
of vacation with no sleep and heavy drinking, and I feel
like a total wreck. I might actually be dead.

Haha nice pic DM

I was up till gone 3am last night myself, probably the heat
didn't help but I was just wide awake, even after a couple
of spliffs. Have you tried wanking? :)

if you can't sleep, have a wank


 

offline marlowe from Antarctica on 2007-06-11 08:42 [#02092384]

... Or a hot bath.

drinking before you sleep is a terrible idea. It causes
really fucked up sleeping patterns. It might work
temporarily but it's never a good idea really.
the best thing you can do is go to bed as soon as you feel
sleepy, make sure the curtains/blinds are closed so the room
is as dark as possible, and keep any external noise to a
minimum. Often you'll be lying there awake just thinking for
hours, but resist the temptation to get up and do something,
just keep lying there with your eyes closed, and try and
empty your mind of any thoughts you are having and relax
your muscles and breathe deeply.
If all else fails, have a warm bath like Paul suggested, or
read a little bit. Try and avoid music or literature or TV
that will stimulate your brain too much, and any vigorous
exercise right before bed, probably including a wank as
it'll probably wake you up more rather than get you ready
for a sleep. Try and do lots of exercise in the day though.
Also try and get into a regular pattern. Force yourself to
wake up in the morning at 8 or 9 or whatever, even if you've
not had much sleep, and go to bed as soon as you're tired,
if not earlier.

... If I forced myself to get up at 8am and go to bed as
soon as I was tired, I'd be going to bed at 8.30am ;)

But your answer was particularly in-depth and sensible.

Yeah when life gets good and exciting (talking to you tools)
sometimes i couldnt fall alsleep til 3-4am, then off to work
by 7am. Not much you should do about it, just have that
wank and try to read a magazine/newspaper, pop in a movie
and let time take its course. You can train your body to do
many things.

haha there's a saying here that goes something like 'there's
no insomnia that survives 3 wanks'.

I think insomania is a natural thing that happens in a
random sort of way, just deal with it. happened to me last
week, awake for 26 hours on a week night/day
