ShawnPorter Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Bad movies. Good movies get you engaged. Bad movies make you want to sleep just to avoid them. AlannaCA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCanada Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 One good thing is to really try and do nothing... Think of staic going on in your mind while lying in bed, if you get your mind thinking and to engaged in on acvtivity it becomes hard for it to slow down again... Thinking of staic clears your mind and I can fall a sleep faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I had a bad problem with insomnia before I got sober. Two years later, I sleep through the night, barring some kind of loud noise like a thunderstorm. I keep my room PITCH black- heavy duty blackout curtains all around and run a small fan for white noise. I also lift heavy weights every other day and that pretty much annihilates me.

kollin Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 watch something you've watched a million times over. i sleep to simpsons episodes every night. If you've seen it you won't miss anything and you'll sleep like a rock. Plus I meditate on my all shit every night, so I've trained my brain to shut off while I"m trying to sleep cause I've already come up with and solved problems before sleeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryQ Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think before you try to sleep you want to create the right conditions- -Make your room as dark and cave-like as you can. Blackout blinds are good (especially for shift-workers). Unplug any heavy electronics or artificial light sources if you can. -Avoid anything that is going to release a load of sugar before you try and nod off. More good stuff in this book: 'Lights out: Sleep, sugar and survival'. http://www.amazon.com/Lights-Out-Sleep-Sugar-Survival/dp/0671038680 If I try and sleep and it's just not happening then I check the time. If it's within 2 hours of the time I will have to get up I usually just get up early, shower and get ready, and then use the extra time to check e-mails, brew coffee and relax. Sure, you're really tired over the course of the day, but at least you're more likely to sleep that night - because you'll have built up that sleep debt and your body is going to try and fill it. If the same thing happens the following night then ... Well, I think there you're into dysfunctional territory and insomnia is one thing I've luckily never had to contend with. I'm not a huge fan of lying on in bed, versus getting up, because I find that I toss and turn and chances are it's only when I'm about to have to get up anyway that I manage to nod off - and, IMO, an interrupted sleep cycle after a period of lying unsettled is actually more annoying than just getting up early and making the best of it. If I can't get up, for whatever reason (like, I'm in a strange house or a hotel or something), then I'll read. LeoKraft and Kev 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight-Lines Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I drink wine and listen to Lucero. It doesn't help and makes me stay up later usually... but fuck it. At least I have cheap wine and lucero. Ursula and David Flores 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Benway Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Back on topic, melatonin is very useful for me, and decaffeinated is pretty good too. An open window, even in the winter, is absolutely essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I can't, its gotta be Rosanne on TVland or DVR'ed Ancient Aliens!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Benway Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I envy you so much. I'm a proper sleep clinic case - last year they had me wired up with pipes up my nose and hard drive strapped to my chest. I can't sleep and when I do get off, I sleepwalk. I've done the freakiest shit. My poor wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
