insomnia

you need to work out what it is that is occupying your brain and keeping you awake when you should be asleep

Then take steps to address the issues - may require a change of lifestyle

Are you healthy? are you a p1sshead?

Cheers

1st  ... a lot as i don't believe anything anyone tells me as i always find out it's a lie.But maybe they don't mean it.

2nd.. Tried everything worked sh1t jobs even when not needed the cash just to try get sleep and pull some birds

3rd... Healthy i would say yes , p1sshead ... i can easily go without but only spirits make me sleep or KO as i would call it.. Could drink all day tbh which i am now but ive got people around me who don't even know i drink 10X as much as them maybe.Well maybe not 10

just watch a lecture on youtube? a physics lecture or astronomy one. It'll knock you out - but have your player shutdown your machine when the video stops so it doesn't wake you up.
take out the computers shutdown sounds.
Cosmos with Carl Sagen was always a good choice.

insomnia gets worse as you get older so dont get old lol

I need a siesta about 4pm

I sometimes lay awake all night worrying I'll get insomnia.

I used to wonder where the Sun went after it set and then one morning it dawned on me.

to be serious - I feel for those with insomnia


spending each day like you have jet lag ,not good

i listened to music all day had house to myself and i beat sleep ( only 6 cans )  without sore eyes or even looking tired , i may look it who knows


people are coming now and all i want to do is black out ( any tips )

acid guts  no good

If you are like most of us you'll be looking for a quick fix, so it'll be drink or drugs, no good long term. Self hypnosis is easily learned and can be very effective.

No t.v after 6 o'clock,no betfair after 6 o'clock..etc..you get the idea,...go for a half hour walk about 2 hours before retiring,...have a mug of raw cacao made with milk 30 mins before retiring,..if minds all ''agog'' with unpleasant thoughts,replace them  with thoughts of christmas day and how as a present for all your loved ones you gave them a betting slip of a five horse boxing day accumulator... drift into peaceful sleep as you picture their happy faces as all  romp home at 33/1...

Wake up 30 minutes later screaming from the nightmare that you forgot to put one on for yourself...welcome back insomnia.

Isn't drinking too much one of the main causes of insomnia?

You fall asleep easily enough, but wake up after a couple of hours.

Alcohol induced slumber isn't proper sleep either Dr C. Alcoholics rarely wake up refreshed.

saddo and tons you made me laugh

dr are you real dr , as my dr when i drink i get no sleep but drink gets me up down

its not basic sleep but its not sleep as i just see stories its not dreaming as im awake , hard to expalin

real drugs are dry , i want E and Weed

so a litre of vodka 15 cans and not pushing my guts is ok ?

as my guts feel fine and no food is ok

Try puking up for an hour, always wears me out.

Actually the first part of my 'tale tall tail'' works,...for me....no real experts in this,sleeping tablets,alcohol etc etc are ineffective and more problematic long term,...sure, enough will induce ''coma'',..but you will wake with hangovers and feelings of never been asleep anyway=no rest.

Alcohol/drugs will give you that ''break'' from yourself and your thoughts though,for the time being,...you need to address the issues,..if you don't have ''issues''...you need to be checked for any other ''medical'' reasons,
as said no real experts in this.Mix and match others recommendations,something will work....but it must be ''natural'' sleep you get.


i.m.o.

Of course.

Think im turning the corner lately..

knocking one out usually does the trick for me.

I was going to suggest sex.

Funnily enough, I asked a Welsh friend of mine how many sexual partners he'd had. He started counting and fell asleep.

Me too. Bad insomnia.   I'm not going to rest though till I cure my insomnia.
