I've had to cut out caffeine which is a killer for me because I LOVE coffee.
I don't drink any fizzy drinks, chocolate or anything with sugar.
I now also often turn most electrical items off in my room, and avoid my room for the day until I'm going to bed.
I've got sleeping pills prescribed too but I try to limit these.
I really wish I could sleep easily.
I think most people will suffer from insomnia at some point in there life.
But I've been getting it bad for around 3 years now. :mad:

3 Years? I've had it nearly 25 years! I've learnt many things on dealing with it! Try eating peanut butter as the last thing you eat!

I go to bed, try to sleep, think about what i did during the day (if anything exciting happened) and about what im gonna do the next day. Then my brain thinks about everything and i'm wide awake then.

Well, if I'm going to bed, I say I'm going to bed and if I'm in bed and I'm texting someone or whatever and I want to go to sleep but don't wanna be rude and not reply, I'd say I was going to sleep.

Before I go to sleep, I wake up my lad. I then place a tissue on tim and pretend he is a gost. :cool:

What if you fell asleep before you got the chance to tell the person you were texting you were going to sleep?

Nights like tonight I've been out playing football so I have to wait for the adrenaline to leave my body before I head off to get some kip. Usually pretty wired for an hour or two after it. People see it as a physical activity but it's every bit a mental one too.

Sleep is fierce boring hey.

OneArt · 12-07-2012 11:53PM

I say I'm going to mattress.

I don't have a bed, just a mattress on the floor.

I've been in that boat for 10 years. Once I get to sleep, I'd nearly sleep forever.
Couldn't be bothered getting sleeping tablets though.

Tell you though, I get Valerian root a few years ago. Amazing stuff. Had to stop taking it though, was late for work regularly as it completely knocked me out and I'd sleep through the alarm

Sleeping pills and 'ice berg ice-cream', let's leave it at that..

--LOS-- · 13-07-2012 12:28AM

I go to bed, there's no guarantee of sleep :P

EZ24GET · 13-07-2012 01:49AM

I usually go to bed or occasionally "hit the hay" or "drift off to lala land".

John Doe1 · 13-07-2012 01:52AM

"I'm hitting the hay"

kryogen · 13-07-2012 01:55AM

I float off to a dreamland where Ronnie has killed Sammi in Jersey Shore and the prick is trying to pin the blame on me, then we go off in search of giant mushrooms like the ones that used to be n Super Mario and things seem to work out.

Except the monkey, the purple monkey is always watching, watching and waiting.

MyStubbleItches · 13-07-2012 02:04AM

Jesus ye're all a bit strange.

I go to bed and imagine I've won 10.63 million in the lotto. Then I give my closest family x amount, spend x amount on building the house, spend x amount on cars, spend x amount on employing my best mate so he has a big income and imagine that after all that myself and the missus had €1500 a week each pocket money from the interest earned on what's left.

Sleep takes 2 mins.

Fentdog84 · 13-07-2012 03:41AM

I think about my ex every night before I go to sleep. Im such a sad bastard...

vyron_xvvx · 13-07-2012 08:01AM

i say both and some other simple words like i'm going to "hit the hay" or something like that at times.

Dravokivich · 13-07-2012 09:48AM

In IRC chatrooms years ago I used to say "I'm off to abuse the sack."

Think about random crap. Last nights thoughts:

Do giraffes sleep standing up?
Do zebra's think they're horses?
Do pandas actually like bamboo?

You weren't the lad that climbed fences to try get in to see swedish house mafia and ended up in the zoo by any chance?
