What do you do when you cant sleep?

[Chad Michael]

That's a good way to get a skillet to the head in my house.

Søvnløse netter jeg ligger og vrir meg
Timene krabber sakte forbi meg
Jeg snur puta hvert minutt
I søvnløse netter som aldri tar slutt

Vel, hva skal man gjøre en natt som i natt
Tenke på ditt og tenke på datt
Gå ut på kjøkkenet og ta seg litt mat
Pisse på vasken
Ta seg en rask en

I have really bad insomnia, but I've found three things that help me sleep: Melatonin, Sex, and... Herbal Supplements...

In that order?

 

[Guss]

I listen to some frank sinatra. Works well for me

 

[Brendan]

When I can't sleep, I tend to just stay awake until I can. No point in forcing a square peg through a round hole.

 

[Erlendur Már]

I can always sleep. But you should try listening to Nightmares on Wax or something.

 

[Suckbird]

[Nadav]

Since I read this thread, I fallen asleep to music twice. I like it! Miles Davis++

 

[Suckbird]

And stop to think to, because that's what making me not sleep.

Me too. If my system's not ready to sleep, no amount of trying on my part is gonna get it there short of medications and things that'll ensure that I'm completely useless the next day. All I can do is ride it out.

Yeah, I hear that for some people insomnia is caused by reading in bed.

First try drinking a warm glass of milk (note: repeating this step will not neccessarily improve your chances of falling asleep). Other than that, I'd say practice a little bass. If you're not going to sleep, why not use the time that your awake to do something productive? In fact, that may not be such a bad idea, because your mind is generally more creative when you're tired and want to fall asleep. This is because the left side of your brain more or less shuts off during that time.

 

[SunShine]

Put your bass away and pull out a blanksheet of paper. Write a song without ever playing it. If you're anything like me by the time you're done writing the song it's time to get up anyways.

I watch TV for a bit. But it's always the interesting "we only show this at 2 am" stuff. Like PBS documentaries about the most random or obscure thing, or cartoons that are decades old, like old school mickey mouse cartoons.



Or I just watch the golf channel. No other sport can put you to sleep faster.
