    Lavender spray
    Plenty of fresh air
    Over the counter solutions like Kalms Sleep and Valerian Root

    What do you do when insomnia strikes?

    Read, read, read, generally not something too engrossing, I usually don't read novels when suffering with insomnia, generally something to do with current affairs, which I am interested in but not something you can read for hours and hours.

    Sleeping works for me.

    Five or ten minutes of Lord of the Rings usually does it for me.

    Imagine jumping on your bike go for a spin. Decide to turn right or left at gate. Go down the road imagine your neighbours houses. Turn right or left at the end of the streetand so on. Take a familiar route. Apparently you rarely get more than a mile from your house. Easier than counting sheep but works on the same principle. It has worked for me in the past.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Plumpynutt


    either read something, or smoke a joint


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    I usually turn on some sh1te Nazi WW2 documentary.
    Theres fcuk all else on during the night anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    I usually start with 3 panadol and 2 piriton along with a book on politics.

    If that doesn't work I try counting backwards from 300, while visualising sheep jumping backwards over a fence.

    If that fails I just spend the night tossing and turning for a few hours, then give up, get up and watch the news, nod off on the sofa in the evening from exhaustion, thus leading to a repeat of all of the above that night:(

    Can I get a taxi?

    If so can I sleep in the back.

    Melatonin

    Didnt think that was something you could get over the counter till now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 818 ✭✭✭Satts


    Shagging.

    There's only one type of sleep better than the 'sleep of the just' and that's the sleep of the just after. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,366 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Spliff and a blowjob.

    You can pick it up without a script in the USA in a drugstore or health food store.
    If you're in Spain, you can get Dormidina in the pharmacies.


    As always check with your GP for medical advice.

    I didn't say it was bad... just that I put it on when I wanna sleep! I've watched it all while awake too.

    Had to google that one. Same active is available otc in the uk too. Just with different branding. Have to say. It is the nicest of the antihistamines for sleep minus the cotton mouth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Go to bed and simply switch off, you'll fall asleep in seconds.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Inbox


    If I can't sleep and can't stop wanting to look at my phone, I just hold my phone and I instantly feel more relaxed and its not long till I doze off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 238 ✭✭Vivienne23


    I try to think if I had a million to spend what would I buy down to the last euro can't seem to get past 400,000 , it would have to be the prices like not just saying ill spend 500,000 on a house and 500,000 on cars and holidays

    Like my list would be
    range rover evoque, 48000
    House 150,000
    6 months in Thailand €8000
    Holiday for the parents €5000
    Maybe a car for the sister ...or will I have enough left :)

    And on and on

    You have to keep going back and adding up and changing things , also it puts happy thoughts in your head for sleeping ...works great when my head is stressed with work related stuff

    Recite the alphabet backwards, Z to A. It works great.... till you get good at it, then it gets too easy.
