I can't help you on this one. I've had insomnia my whole life, so I'm just kinda use to not sleeping. Went 48 hours no sleep, felt just fine. I found my limit is running 2 months on generally 2 hours a night, 4 or 5 nights no sleep at all, and a couple nights at 4 hours. And this was in Boot Camp.
If I can't sleep, it's usually because I'm giggly over something, or many somethings. So I listen to music to calm me down.
And it helps calm me down, most of the time, but it doesn't help me get to sleep. So I don't know why I do it. Well, I guess it passes the time. If it was during the summer, and it was really bad, I'd probably start reading.
Thats impossible cats like me can't go without a second of sleep. The solution is simple make yourself yawn a couple of times works every time. And if it helps get other people to help you yawn by starting a yawn session.
My second suggestion is to take a hot shower then get out of the bathroom and feel the cold, now don't you just want to snuggle somewhere soft and warm.
Doesn't work for me I'm afraid... I think too much so I'll just end up mulling over something... or start day dreaming...Originally Posted by Jess
I just lay down and close my eyes.
Wolf Likes this advice, especially since alcohol is one of the few things that actually relaxes me. Maybe I should go bar hopping... Care to join?
Lately it's not the case. I just feel alert and the mind starts wondering from one topic to another... Calm music doesn't necessarily make me sleepy and I tend to start drowning out music when I think too much.

I get tired but as soon as Ilie in bed I become wide awake and I just start to toss and turn thinking about whaterver comes to mind.
Glad I don't have it as bad as you... I go into patterns though, I spend a few weeks getting two hours of sleep, then a few weeks where I constantly sleep for 12 to 14 hours straight. I'm generally a night person but oddly enough I do go through short periods of getting up at 5 or 6 A.M. and being in bed by 10 P.M. sharp.

I've been having the same problems recently, nothing seems to help. But a weakling that I am I cry myself to sleep mostly. Even if it's a couple of hours sleep.
My problem is that I think and worry too much and I can't clear my head enough to put myself to sleep.

I have sex. It works, since we're both insomniacs and she's across the street. Or, I drink and play Diablo 2 until I pass out.

No way, he'd feel horny all night long.
Just relax in bed; don't focus too much on the fact that you "should fall asleep as soon as possible" or anything.
If you don't fall asleep in 45 minutes or so, get up and do something else until you feel tired.
Sorry to hear we're suffering together.Hopefully you'll be able to resolve your problems and get some sleep.
I don't have any insomniac acquatiences(sp?) nor a girlfriend to get any sex and hookers aren't cost efficient.
I'm already horny most of the timeNo way, he'd feel horny all night long.

I've been trying the other advice and it doesn't work. I tend to just get up and do something.

If I can't sleep, I don't sleep. ^^ I stay awake until I'm so tired that I'm falling asleep at the keyboard or whatever, and then I sleep. x3

Been having some serious troubles sleeping myself lately too.
If I can't get sleep, there's always a reason to it. *_*
('-'*)/ - "sup"
I've always been a night owl, so naturally I decided to get a job where I could get paid to be one. I'm a Night Desk Clerk at my University for the dorms/living quarters and work three shifts in the middle of the night/morning.
In the past week, I've had a 45 hour day with no sleep, and a couple more than 24 hour days.
Then try that. It works well.Or, I drink and play Diablo 2 until I pass out.

Try to wake up at the same time every day. Do not nap during the day. Do not eat about three hours before bed. Do not drink caffeine to hours before bed. Try not to go to bed until you're tired. Drink a glass of milk or yogurt before bed.
To me, it really helps to have someone to snuggle up with. I love it.

I go out and I run, or read a book, take a bath. sometimes i just stay up, thats the only thing that would really help me, then i would get tired and sleep, even if it was only for a little while.
running (as LoveArya said) will definitely snooze you up...
but as my own advice goes: read a dictionary, and if that doesn't work...well...i guess some pills could do the trick, if not, they'll probably kill you and you'll sleep the eternal sleep then
But seriously: the dictionary! talk about gods strongest sleeping pill... or was that the Bible?...
