I Can't Sleep...

[Gigabitch]

While my problem is probably not relative with gigas problem, I must admit that I have sleeping problems too. I always wake up at five or six o clock, wait three or four hours and fall asleep again... Its damn annoying.

Sounds like the same thing.

4.***This is clutch: DO NOT use your bed for anything other than sleepytime; except perhaps some pre-sleep exercise.

Heh heh. I think it's odd that on the rare night I don't do the horizontal bop, I usually sleep much better.

i know exactly what you mean. when i drink on a nightly basis, and then i try to go to sleep sober on the night next, it's very hard.

I guzzled most of a bottle of wine the other night and slept like a baby. It was poker night, so Cali Boy was out with the boys, and I didn't even hear him come in.

Last night, though, was back to the usual restlessness. I think it's time to see the witch doctor. Oh, and get my lazy ass to the gym.

Giga - switch to sex in the morning, and your problem will be solved.

[Gigabitch]

I'm willing to give it a shot. I'll start tomorrow morning.

Sex in the morning is the best!

Illusional - maybe I should start with a new screen name so you can retain your status? Giga's gonna catch up to you, too.

[Illusional]

Okay, so last night I didn't do so with the abstaining...

I did, however, tranq him with a Tylenol PM, so he would sleep soundly, so I might have a chance to sleep as well, and it worked like a charm.

My brother just got his first full night's sleep in 4 days last night. It was getting so bad that he was watching American Idol on youtube to pass the time.

He cried 3 times while watching this little girl sing "over the rainbow". He was clearly getting delirious.

Avoid caffine and eating late at night. I suggest you workout daily, even walking will do some good but prefering aerobic or light weight lifting. Meditation also works.

I have the same exact problem Giga. Fall asleep at 11, wake up at 2 or 3. Won't be able to sleep til' like 5 or 6. Which isn't very practical as I have lectures at 9, so most of the time I sleep through lectures. But the days I do manage to attend I'm useless as ****.

I tried sleeping tablets, the ones I had didn't do much. It would send me asleep quicker but I would still physically wake up in the middle of the morning. I read a good way to get asleep and shit is to make your bed look inviting. Get some new covers, extra pillows, another blanket, whatever catches the Z's. Pretty much the same thing Donut said, association.

talk about adjusting to a new schedule... now i have to be in bed by 10, maybe 11 at the latest so i can wake up before 5am just to get parking at work. damn 5am?? c'mon now, i'm used to going to bed at 1-2am.

This insomnia is getting worse, I really can't hack it. I'm up all night, sleep during the day, missing my lectures and making me depressed like ****. If I went to a doctor what would they do? Prescribe me something?

I'm sure they'd give you a prescription at the least, if not laugh at you.

Try something like Advil or Nyquil if you're that kind of person.

Why would they laugh?

Depends on the doctor.

Kie, I suggest you read through the thing in the "Cure for Depression" thread that Mish posted. It was a link to this website that I checked out for a couple of hours and it really was worth my time.

Their explanation about where sleep fits into the cycle of depression made a lot of sense to me.
