Insomnia...

[Wolf Kanno]

I would love to say sex, but that never wears me out. One of the great flaws of my being.

I think the best way to fall asleep is to read a severely boring book with a soft red light on, and maybe a fan or a humidifier going. Even if the book isn't boring, at least make it so you don't understand a lot of it.

Like, say, The Handmaid's Tale or even The Wheel of Time series.

I don't know how to even respond to this without you absolutly hating me... Do you like Wonder Woman?

Seriously though, I hate reading fiction though I guess I could pull out some of my old psychology books or Biology books and get a similiar affect.

Where's a Grat when you need one, eh?

Damn straight...

drugs option.

I hate to admit this, but I really hate medicine and doctors and refuse to deal with either of them if I don't have to.

Do I have to be wearing the [Wonder Woman] outfit or her?

Take turns.

KINKY! Time to show off my inner transvestite...

I had insomnia for like 3 years regularly and had it for like 3 years before that on and off. Im pretty much over it now (except for here and there when i still get it like tonight for example) but in those long hard years i never found a "cure" or anything that really helped me to get to sleep (except for baths but the wierd thing is i would start to fall asleep in the bath but when i got out i would be wide awake!) so unfortunatly your stuck with it. I just hope you cant find something that can konk you out eventhough i never could.

I'm the same way, I've always been more of a night person anyway but it's starting to affect my job and health so I should try to at least get back to having at least 6 hours of sleep. I've has insomnia off and on for years.

go on the internet, then to bed and write some things or watch tv for the last few moments before falling asleep. i don't know if it's insomnia or because my zodiac sign's ruling hours are very, very late.

Internet tends to keep me alert as does writing. TV holds little interest to me so I prefer music. I'm not sure what my signs ruling hours are (I should with the amount of astrology books I own:rolleyes2 ) but I am a Scorpio so chances are it's probably late at night or the evening. I tend to be more creative at night, so I do most of my writing then.

what do you I to get to sleep? I make sure I make use of the hours which proceed it (i.e. going to school, college, work and working hard)

I usually do but I only have work to deal with now and I've lost contact with or have a conflicting schedule with family and friends. I use to take walks in the middle of the night. I would wonder through my neighborhood and sometimes go into the city.

Usually I don't do anything for insomnia, but when I really need some sleep I take a 50 mg tablet of Gravol. It works great.

I don't do drugs unfortunately...

When I am awake, I eat everything in sight.

I do too

Watch TV while drinking warm milk. Or, taking a warm bath. And thennn reading lots of books or magazines until I finally just get so bored, I fall asleep.

Warm milk never seems to affect me and I have a hard time getting board cause I've sorta've hardwired myself to find amusement in simple things when I get desperate:laughing:

Thanks for the help everyone.
