    Try going to bed.

    Boards. Or make a loud noise that wakes my husband, pretend it woke me too and then I have someone to talk to.

    So many different ways people have suggested masturbating.

    So ill say belly boxing.

    Also ASMR is a great shout. So relaxing.

    Double-click the mouse off yourself!

    I'm just saying that because I want to join in, honestly I normally just read.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man


    Crack one out, then read a bit.


    Hmm bit of a recurring theme in this thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    If this thread was called "How many different ways can you say 'masturbate?'" the replies would be the same.

    I listen to podcasts. Which isn't a euphemism for anything, honest.

    I keep the lights off, put on a podcast on my phone at a low enough volume that I can hear it but it won't keep me awake, and eventually drift off. If I left the room silent I'd start thinking, and that's never ever a good idea.

    Some of them will still be tugging themselves asunder. Mark my words.

    I usually just try to blank my mind, but my brain decides to go over every cringeworthy moment of my life so far.

    Remember that reeeeally embarrassing thing you did? Everyone hates you because of it.

    :-P

    Read or listen to podcasts, usually gets me off. If I don't really care about falling asleep I go online and have a nose about or else watch something on Netflix.

    White noise of some sort sometimes helps. I still have trouble, often I'll just skip the night and be able to get a good sleep the next one but if the insomnia gets bad I can miss two. I usually fare better if I can keep cool.

    Read a book until my eyes can't stay open.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭takamichinoku


    I don't even try, it's not gonna happen that night; I'll spend about two hours deliberating over what to watch instead (clicking through IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and my hard drive like crazy), send a ton of rambling messages to whoever's online and eat a f*cking ton of cookies with coffee.

    Basically all of the worst things I possibly can do, the alternative is lying there telling myself how awful the future is going to be, which exhausts me way more.

    Watch old TV series on DVD. Currently mid 'Rockford Files'.

    I go for a long imaginary walk to somewhere I've been before, I'm asleep before I reach my destination most times.

    ASMR videos have been a life saver for me recently!


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


    I usually put on the most boring documentary I can find on history channel or Nat geo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 627 ✭✭✭House of Blaze


    Have to get out of bed anyway.

    I find if I get up and (somewhat bizzarrely!) have a cup of tea and read something for a bit it does the trick eventually!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    Pull myself silly.
