what do u do when u can't sleep?

[avlena]

i've been goin absolutely nuts lately, because no matter how exhausted i am, i just can't fall asleep. and once i do finally drift off, it's a really restless sleep, with me waking up throughout the night. i think most of it is related to stress, because i'm graduating this june, and i'm constantly worried about flunking classes, finding a job, finding a place to live, etc.

do u guys have any suggestions/tricks so i can finally get a decent night's sleep? grazie!

EDIT: hahahaha... sounds like there's multiple people with the same problem! many apologies for the double post, i'm still working on focusing my brain!

if you don't sleep, you'll go crazy...

but wait, that maybe the answer to your probs. here's how i see it:
go crazy = no need to work (who the hell is gonna hire the crazy lady!?)
go crazy = no need to find place to live (the nice hospital has nice rooms and hug-yourself jackets that keep you warm)
go crazy = excuse to retake classes flunked. or the classic legend, get your roommate to die. then say the traumatic experience is too much, the school will automatically give you an A, and you'll have an excuse to go crazy!

no no! no thanx is needed. the look on your face is thanx enuf.

seriously tho, stress is your culprit. so you've got to NOT stress. talk over your anxiety with someone, and let it out. don't stress, everything will work out.
either that or lots of physical exertion (read into that however you want)

hit the gym, go rollerblading, running, biking, etc...

this is probably not a great idea...but i do this when i cant sleep and get really frustrated......just take cold medicine..it makes you drowsy.....if you dont want to do that..have like 3 beers...it'll mellow you out then you can just fall asleep

I have a prescription for a sleep aid. I used to use benedryl b/c it would knock me out. When I am routinely working out I don't have this problem very often. I hate when this happens, so I keep the prescription just in case. I don't think I have used more than 30 pills in the last 2+ years. My last prescription expired before I got it refilled.

are you stroking Yoss? :P

I almost always either soak in the hot tub, take a hot shower or pull a "yoss" before bedtime. Out cold within minutes.

However last year when traveling I was in constant time zone change I did take the Rx Ambien. Works really WELL ! Not a big fan of drugs but this one works great short term.

[Joshua]

No way dood. Just doing it with more gusto!

But if I ever did decide to play for the other team, Yoss'd be my B*tch. ...He's the only candidate that's tall enough! Ha!

Usually the reason i can't sleep is cause i'm too busy thinking. But once i realize that i can make it stop :D

[le_stick]

I know it is easy to say then done, but try to think
positive things. Or at least, try to fantasize about something
that is positive.....like you will win a multimillion dollar
Powerball......so you do not have to work, yet buy/build a big
mansion....etc...:D

i have never had trouble sleeping, but if i did i suppose reading would help get the eyes tired and wanna doze off.

Tylenol PM is my friend. Either that or a warm glass of milk. However I have a general policy if I cant fall asleep within 1 hr of going to bed I get up and doing something else. Anything from going online, to reading, to watching TV, to annoying someone else so they suffer with me. (Ok, so I have only done that once or twice and thats because she said I could)

Then again, it probably helps that I can pick up any number of the hell books from lawschool and make myself fall asleep in a minute.

[Peachhead]

I'm with UFC, Tylenol PM works generally works for me. Only once in a while, when my mind is REALLY spinning, does it not do the trick. then it's a beer or six. or seven. or twelve. Eventually I pass out. :D

CalAbsorb...the calcium and magnesium powder you see in the infomercials. Great stuff..nature's tranquilizers.. works about 15 minutes after you take it.

That reminds me. In iran people eat yogurt when they have trouble sleeping.
