I don't/can't sleep

**Rabid Skunk** · 02-09-2009 01:17 AM

Anyone have any ideas on how to get to sleep easier? I start my first day of a new job in 5 hours and I need to ####### sleep. Every night, I can't sleep until 3 or 4 no matter how early I get to bed. Anyone else like that?

Go see a psychiatrist.
They'll be more than happy to prescribe you up with some drugs that will knock you the #### out.

have you tried...um...doing yourself?

having that kind of release, in a male's body, releases some kind of chemical in the brain that makes you tired...it's just one of those genetic things

Classic college insomnia. You have a delayed sleep schedule. Go a couple days without sleeping, and conk yourself out around 11pm, and your body will reset itself.

most important is to regulate your body to rest before you fall asleep. what i mean is get into bed and just lie on your back and relax your muscles close your eyes slowly and relax your mind as you are going for a mid day siesta and just drift to sleep. for people who suffer from insomnia you need to stop dooing drugs including: Caffeine, Alcohol, White Sugar ect... no stimulants needed. stay active outdoors and start a regiment of eating more Green Veggies, Onions, Garlic.. lots of water and try to keep the food raw and organic. Fruits are not that great for the first 2 months but Blueberries are an exception (in moderation). its a tough process but it works. young people only need 5-7 hrs sleep a night. its just healthier. adults 27 and up can make use of 5-8 but still it all depends on the persons activity level.

my mom told me even as a infant i never slept. so i still dont sleep much but i get my rest which is most important. mind over matter. be able to clear your mind.

I don't go to college. In fact, I didn't even have to work until today.

i find that instead of the total, just stay up for long as possible then crash plan, doesnt work nearly as good as, say.. alright he's a perfect example. i stayed up till 6:30am reading HST the other night, fell asleep for two hours, then bolted outta bed, showered, shaved, and went fishing for a whole day. I wound up being completely tired by midnight. works much better, IMO. give it a try.

if you wanna do it to the letter.. when you go fishing dont catch anything, smoke a pack of cigs, dont eat all day till you break down and eat 4 jack in the box tacos and a gargatuan soda. top it off with a little internet and then go the fahk to bed.

good luck!
