What do you think about when you can't sleep

JohnGalt

I don't know what it is, but on those nights when I can't sleep, I am always struck with horrible feelings of fear about things I wouldn't ever usually think about. I think back to events from my past and they always seem much worse and much more frightening. Even when I was about ten or eleven I used to lie in bed, trying to wrap my head about things like the edge of the universe or infinity, and it would always strike fear deep into the pit of my stomach. These days the thoughts are different, but the fear is the same. What do you think about at night when you can't sleep, and do things seem worse?

I think about the fact that I'd like to be asleep!

Sharpshooter

The fact that l can't sleep..../seriously.

shenanigans1982

I think of the fact that if I fall asleep now I will get X hours amount of sleep....repeat for every hour I am still awake.

Ricky91t

Normally i only can't sleep if theres something on my mind and i can't remember what it is,i just go through everything thats happened till i remember then all is ok

tony1kenobi

Will she wake up if I..../is it rape.

Pretty much that.

giggsy664

The fact that I have an iPod touch, and a wireless router with broadband, and that I can go on boards till I sleep.

drunkymonkey

im a bit like you OP as well, i sometimes just spend hours lieing there worrying about will i have a job in the future/be homeless, relationships that are going on at the moment, but i think iv realised that those worries ARE the reason why im not getting to sleep. maybe your the same?

to get to sleep i usually picture myself in a movie i saw recently as the main actor...... usually porno!

Earthhorse

Usually, it is because I am thinking about something that I cannot sleep, so I try to empty my mind, with varying degress of success.

yeah being awake and being unable to think about anything else but wanting to sleep can drive you crazy

i put on some chilled out music like Air or Sigur Ros or Goldfrapp and i drift off

Mossy Monk

I think about sexy women and then masturbate. Fall asleep soon after.

She Devil

I think about how weird it is when you close your eyes and you fall asleep 8hrs pass without you knowing because the next thing you know when you open your eyes is 8hrs later ... where do you go?
I also find it so weird that us as humas have a room specially for this sleep malarchy and why do we have to do it???
I get way too deep into it

Honestly, would you ever grow up?! Who the hell would use such a disgusting, sinful, relaxing, pleasurable, wonderful way to get themselves to slee ... oh, wait, actually, nvm!

I count sheep, but usually just as i'm dozing off again, someone shouts "FUCKIN HELL!"

Generally...i just keep thinking about trying to get to sleep

Peyton Manning

I listen to the auld iPod and imagine possible scenarios my life could develop into depending on the music.

AckwelFoley

I think about astrophysics and rape

Gummy Panda

I think about attacking asian tourists. If i'm lucky i'll dream about it too

SEPT 23 1989

boards threads about homeless people

Quazzie

I think about masturbation techniques and also how often wimmens actually masturbate. Also why is masturbation such a taboo subject? Its all natural and all good!!

Then I masturbate and doze off

I think of Naked.......................Marge.

Dun laoire

I think about shagging counting sheep

Quality

I think about how long I would have to hold the pillow over his head to shut him up snoring....

AckwelFoley

3 - 4 mins

ScumLord

I think about all the embarrassing dick head things I've done over the past few days and if needs be cross reference them against past embarrassing moments from years ago. Just to see if life really is getting worse and it is, much, much worse.

JohnGalt

Pulling the balls off yourself doesn't count as thought, the imagined porno situation involving floppy, 110 kg bin ladies however, does

S.I.R

i think about the day my mate bought the first of many civics.... " 1.3 vtec, 140 hp to prove it ".... LOL, all good and fun tillthe pistons decided to self combust about 5 minutes after driving it

Latchy

I lie there and think about why i cant sleep

I have an attic room and a velux window, jealous much?
I generally just think of everything I have to do the next day, or else just really, really concentrate on my breathing. Or if there's someone in the bed with me who's not related I think about either interfering with them or waking me up, coz if I can't sleep, why should they? I used to just turn on the radio, but for some reason, since pulling several all nighters in a row during my summer exams this year, I'm almost phobic of the 2am-5am slot where there's no presenter or ads, just playlists. It freaks me out to think there's nobody in radioland, it makes me feel lonely

Do you not masturbate thinking about a huge greasy chip shop owner with puss yellow teeth and a bulbous beer gut covered with grayish black hair lying in bed next to you? Just wondering like?

fcukedvirgin

usually how tired and unable to work I will be come morning which stresses me out thus making it even harder to sleep!!

MagicMarker

I have a very active imagination, many unwritten oscar winning movies have been made in the moments before i go to sleep, i always mean to remember them and actually write a screenplay but i never do.

lisbon_lions

Hate that not being able to sleep. Usually coincides with a full moon or a Sunday night after the Saturday night on redbull and vodka....

OP i read this thread last night before i went to bed and low and behold. . I couldnt fekkin sleep and i ended up thinkin bout this one! :mad: but its ok. . i was asleep in no time after

When I can't sleep- I get up and do the laundry. Even if its 2AM in the morning- ironing, sorting, everything short of putting on the washing machine (which should come with a health warning- it sounds like its just this side of needing permission from air traffic control)....... After I've tired myself out with the laundry- normally I fall asleap. If I'm still not able to sleep- brush down the stairs with a soft brush, and then start to clean the ceramic tiles on the floor downstairs- one by one. I've never made it out of the kitchen- it totally knackers you. If at the end of everything- I still can't sleep- a couple of prescription meds help- even if I'm going to be a zombie the next morning.......

admiralofthefleet

past conquests, then i have a 'nightcap'. that sends me asleep fairly quickly

Keep a Spike Milligan book close at hand.
