This happens to me about every five days or so but every so often I have alot of trouble getting to sleep. Usually this is because I'm thinking about something stupid and can't stop thinking about it. Anyway usually when I go to sleep I concentrate on those funky spots you see when you close your eyes, but that didnt work this time because I kept on thinking about what those spots look like. And then I started thinking about what it would be like for an ant to change into an antelope, I couldnt stop thinking about it, so I couldnt get to sleep and then my nose started to itch every time I stopped thinking about the antelope. What was even worse is that I started making an internal monologue about how it sucked about not being able to get to sleep because of antelopes, and spots and nose itches and internal monologues, so I got caught in an infinite loop of bullshit. After that in an attempt to fall asleep I imagined that I got posessed by Shukaku. Shukaku is a sand demon from Naruto who posesses Gaara the sand ninja. The deal with Shukaku is that he can only come out if Gaara goes to sleep. Anyway this almost worked, but then I started to think about how the spots on Shukakus body sort of looked like the spots I see whenever i close my eyes so I got caught in another infinite loop of bullshit. After that I tried doing 160 pushups to try to tire myself out enough that I would go to bed. That almost worked but then my nose started to itch again. Then when my parents woke up they have the annoying habit of playing the annoying radio station early in the morning so that didnt help. I don't know what station it is, all I know is that its annoying so I call it the annoying station. Anyway I eventually fell aslweep somehow but it was daytime by the tiem I did, so hopefully none of this will happen again tonight.

I've got trouble sleeping some nights.. I can't sleep if it's too cold.. or if I'm exhited about something that's going to happen soon.

Ussually when I can't sleep, I ... well.. no one wants to hear about me masterbating.. so we'll just skip that..

But when THAT doesn't work.. I play pokemon, try to see how many pokemon. I have a Red cartrage with no save file on it becuase it's so old it can't save anymore.. So I start a new game and see how many species of pokemon I can catch before I finally fall asleep, naming them all after venerial diseases.

And if that doesn't work, I have a cd that I pop into my portable cd player.. the only thing on the cd is clips of various presidential inauguration speaches.. If Clinton can't put you to sleep, nothing can.

Well as the part time RPG King of Insomniacs,I feel I should post here. In the last four years I've probably had about 40% of those getting an hour or less sleep. Even Pokemon and Politics couldn't get me to sleep. But it's kinda been better lately :beers:

I have the same sleep problem, I cant sleep because Im not a machine with a power switch, and my sleep is very vital as in the holidays I sleep an average 12 to 14 hours, but in school Im a walking corpse, and due only getting 8 hours sleep tops Im always sick and feeling bad....

The Solution
Last year whenever I didnt sleep Id just take the day off school and recover (unfortunatly now, that is not an option as my school have become fond of texting parents.) but Im sure the option is still open to most of you.
So my experience dictates that if you need sleep, dont revolve your life around work or school , do it vice versa.

Nyquil is good. :beers:

Trust me the stuff works, you should try it when you wanna sleep.

Bah! who needs to sleep. I haven't sleep in 18 years, and just look at how sane I am :redneck:

Here is a nice and simple Insomnia Cure that i learned at University

1. Go to Booze store and purchase this

2. Drink
3. If still awake, repeat step 2 till desired result

Tried it ZT,on many occasions. I'm cursed with a sky high metabolic rate which renders most artifical methods of inducing sleep useless. Still doesn't stop me trying :beers:

Your not trying hard enough!!
Drink Drink DRINK!!!

...or you could try night nurse or Horlics, that stuff usually helps me sleep.

so drinking a bottle of tequilla in under an hour isn't enough blood in my boozestream? I'd beg to disagree, but :beers: anyway

You could have a go at doing some of my Java coding for my uni course, that usually sends me to sleep even thinkning about it.

Mr.Z Naruto is one of the animes my bro gave me when he came down here. I don't think I got as far as you tho. I'm at the chum test.

Anyway I have a sleeping problem as well. When I'm susposed to be asleep I just lay in my bed... and circle my tits with my index finger while listening to rap and thinking up lyrics of my own(thats right, I'm going to be a famous singer soon)... the whole night. Then around 4 I pull myself up and do homework I say I didn't have. This happens everynight except on sundays (when my body breaks down and sleeps the whole day) or when I am... intoxicated... not like that every happens to me. B) The other time I sleep is in class. I mean as soon as the teacher opens there mouth I get knocked out unless I feel like clowning around in that class. I thinking of getting sleeping pills tho.

Tyde, you should feel honored when I say this, you have completely and utterly fried my brain.

Damn...Just.......Damn! :blink: *Smoke comes boiling out ears* :wacko:

Congrats Tyde, though the mentioning you "circle [your] tits with [your] index finger while listening to rap and thinking up lyrics of[your] own" may be a bit too much for some members to handle :mellow:

Bite me! You demonic ankle-biter! :angry:

Will do :wolfy: *opens fangs and bites off ankle, foot, shin, and upper leg*. By the way Sith, I hope you didn't mentally picture that either, because well, damn, you'd definately have some issues then :beers:

Yeah, I have issues thanks for bringing it up. <_<

And looks like I'm gonna have a sleeping problem now. :angry: :rolleyes:

Sorry, that was uncalled for. My temper got the better of me for a moment, sorry. :(

Accually.. that's what the entire post is about.. so don't feel bad. None of the rest of us can sleep very well either! :D

I guess that means that turn about is fair play then. :mellow:

Ok Sith now close your eyes, and imagine bloodstorm in the nude doing everything Tyde described herself doing in her post!

Now doesnt your brain feel better Sith!

ACCUALLY..

I HAVE done that.. only it was to classical music, not rap.. my "breasts" are just fatty tissue (I have flabby man-boobs :lol: )

And I don't get up at four in the morning to do homework <_<

And psycologist everywhere just went "CHA-Ching". {err}

(Sigh)Ok, anyone else wanna take a shot since the three stooges have taken their's. Please, be my guest, I've caught more shit than a toilet this week. :)

(Just grin and bear it)

Oh, the insanity!

I didn't have a sleeping problem, Until I just read this. Thanks a lot Mr. Z! now I've got a reason to watch more of those mind numbing infomercials, until I fall asleep from exhaustion.

That's my cure of for insomnia, that, or eat a lot of chocolate. (Sweets have a reverse effect on me. Instead of making me hyper, They relax me and make me tired.)
