I USUALLY MAKE A LOT OF NOISE AND ANNOYANCE TO EVERYONE SO THAT THEY CAN'T SLEEP LIKE ME. AFTER I DONE ANNOYING EVERYONE, THAT IS WHEN I CAN FALL ASLEEP. :bigsmile:

I can't remember the last time I had trouble sleeping. Staying awake is more of a challenge.
I'm sorry but it works! Normally though I watch anime or tv shows on my laptop or get up & play a few games of Fifa.Quote:

I just get so annoyed and irritated with myself for not being able to fall asleep that I eventually exhaust myself and pass out.
Music or video games are not good ways to get to sleep. Reading is often recommended, though.
I often have a lot of trouble getting to sleep.
My roomie's dad had pretty much the most amazing advice I've ever heard for insomnia.
Basically, if you can't sleep, instead of letting yourself get frustrated about it and worrying about not getting sleep, just say "Well, I guess I just won't sleep tonight." Make plans for things to do. Play games or watch movies, though not with the intent of putting yourself to sleep. Just do whatever you want with the intent of staying up all night. If you do fall asleep, awesome. If you don't, no big deal. Try again tomorrow.
The biggest part of not being able to sleep - at least for me - is constantly stressing over how I can't sleep. But there's no reason beating yourself up over it and stressing out. That'll just make it harder to sleep. Just do something enjoyable with nothing extra attached to it and let whatever happen.
Yup. Stressing about it is always the worst. I haven't had any real problems with insomnia in quite awhile. I think it's almost directly tied to depression, for me.Quote:

Reading is the best solution, I think.
I want to third the wank suggestion.
I read a book on my ipod to get good and tired.
being able to let go of stress like stu and azar were saying is also imperative

More than anything else, the only time I seem to write creatively is when I'm sleep deprived. It doesn't help me get to sleep, but it makes use of my time.
When all else fails, you can try;

Wanking has never actually helped me falling asleep.
Me neither, and the time I tried to bore myself to sleep with rugby statistics didn't work either. Although there was the time when I was with my ex when I got him to tell me jokes. They were really bad and I went to sleep pretty quick that night.Quote:

The only thing that really works for me, is turn off all the lights so it's pitch black, lay back and close my eyes and just lay there until I fall asleep.
If I start watching a film, I watch it all.
I haven't really had much trouble sleeping lately, I'm always shattered from work so the latest I'm in bed is like 12. :
This is true but I'm glad you didn't argue against my point.Quote:

BJ and I fall asleep every night to an episode of The Office. Before that it was South Park and before that it was The Simpsons. Watching something familiar allows us to close our eyes and picture it in our heads, which quickly leads to sleep.
£20 says he wouldn't mind.
We've been together nearly nine years. He would mind.
i'll get in on that £20 it isQuote:

Do it really loudly and see how long it takes him to get bored listening and screw you.
That's officially the weirdest thing I have ever said on EoFF ever.
