Title: How do you fall asleep?
Post by: Pike on October 20, 2009, 01:56:49 AM: Its like I completely forgot how to fall asleep. I really suck at it. I even took a tylenol pm and here I am at 1:55am not sleeping. WTF? Looks like I won't make my 8:30. O well.

Post by: Pike on October 20, 2009, 02:21:31 AM: Get up around noon? Damn your lucky. It's also ridiculous hot in my apartment. I'm talking high 70s - low 80s. Opened all the windows and it didn't help at all so now the ac is on and it's much nicer in here.

I'm definitely not going to my 8:30 later today. I will update when I wake up. Wish me luck everyone

2. Drink a glass of milk.

3. Fan or song that will drown out thoughts played on repeat.

That's why if i fall asleep on the couch early, i try to just go to bed. Otherwise i will be up later than i wanted, and dragging ass the next morning.

Post by: WillieWannabe on October 20, 2009, 08:18:06 AM: If you work out and exercise pretty good, you will fall asleep like a baby. At least it has been working for me for the last week. Also found if i let my mind wander, i will be up later. Just shut the brain down, or think about boobies.

Yeah, that would be 11 pm and 5:30am for me. Doesn't work for me. I sleep in WAY too long on weekends, and love it.

Post by: Bhyaaaaa! on October 20, 2009, 10:52:08 AM: Cave mentality when it comes to sleeping. Bedroom should be cool, quiet, and dark.

Also I downloaded this retardedly elite 20 minute tropical thunderstorm/rain shower diddy that puts me right out.

If you come into my room at night its like a gotdamned rain forest cafe. Minus the crapty food and animatronics.

Post by: Pett on October 20, 2009, 12:55:15 PM: Honestly? Think about something (KSU athletics, ping pong, or tennis usually do it) to take my mind off of not sleeping so I can actually sleep....
Title: Re: How do you fall asleep?
Post by: Pike on October 20, 2009, 01:29:22 PM: Update: Missed the 8:30 as planned. Slept till 11:30 so I could go to my 12:30 lab.
Title: Re: How do you fall asleep?
Post by: KSt8er on October 20, 2009, 02:18:29 PM: Okay, I'm going to take this seriously, so here is what my mother taught me. Concentrate on relaxing your body in segments. Like fingers, then hands, then arms, then shoulders, etc, spending at least a little time on each. Feel yourself getting heavier. Once you've reached complete relaxation concentrate on seeing only black, no other thoughts. Oh, and I like to drink about a quart of vodka just before I lay down too. HTH!

I think I've trained my mind to fall instantly asleep when I start reading in the prone position. Like, if I have to study or something I have to sit at a table or it's lights out.

Post by: SkinnyBenny on October 20, 2009, 04:07:12 PM: Try this move. Lie on your back and close your eyes, then begin counting in your head as you take slow, deep breaths in. Exhale slowly, too. However long it takes you to exhale is two "counts" as long as what you counted to when you were just inhaling. In other words, like this.

Inhale slowly: "Ooonnnee........tttwwwwoooooo"
then exhale even slower: "Ooooonnnneeee......tttwwwwoooo....ttthhhhrrreeeeee.......fffffffooooouuuurrrr."

Add one number each time. So the next inhale/exhale cycle would be:
Inhale slowly: "Ooonnnee........tttwwwwoooooo.....threeeeee......"
then exhale even slower: "Oooonneeee......tttwwwwoooo....ttthhhhrrreeeeee.......ffffooooouuurrr.....ffffiiiiiivvveee."

And the one after that you count slowly to four when you inhale, and count to six when you exhale. Keep going until you're breathing so slowly that it kinda strains your lungs a little bit. When this happens, start the cycle over.

Slows my heart rate down bigtime. 'ts kinda gay but it works, so :shy:

Or you could just masturbate, and that's instant :sleep:

Post by: Ben Ji 2.0 on October 20, 2009, 09:22:03 PM: History. Channel.

The key is to find some old documentary type shows about things that actually interest you. DVR is a must.

My fall backs are: Russia Land of the Czars, The real west, Warlords, Fog of War, pretty much anything you watched in High School or college history classes.

If I don't have the noise of a fan, it is physically impossible for me to get to sleep

This; there will be times when I feel like I could lay in bed till sunrise; a little head/ass/or hand puts me out before I can even clean off. Just let it dry and scratch it off in the morning.
