Inability to Sleep / Insomnia

Warm milk doesn't work, and just makes me snotty.

Tonight, Matthew, I am trying brandy.

It's 2.22 am. So that's really working out well for me.

its 2.45 and I am still editing photos of shoes for a client my eyes are bleeding

3.11 - Editing some stop motion work I filmed this week. I might try opium - I hear that gets you in the mood for sleepy-time.

3.28 going to bed still got 143 images to do tomorrow.

Do you mean that as a cure, or what you're doing to try and get to sleep?

3.31 - I'm going to turn everything off and just lie down till I pass out.

Why is it that I can stay sober when I drink at home, but when I'm at the pub - I really feel it after a few beers.

Meh.

yeah

bad idea! brandy is a bit of a stimulant, and alcohol won't help you sleep.

it may make you unconscious if you have enough, but that's not proper sleep.

OOOOh! Insomniac Thread! Me likes. Keep this one going. I'll be on it a lot!

fuck me I got up at 7am this morning so a total of...3 hours sleep as it took me a while to get to bed (fag, clean teeth, fight for duvet back off g/f etc...) I am sooooo tired, yet have to go to one job now and then come home and edit more photos till the early hours tonight, as deadline is tomoz.

I'll give you a hint: Step away from the computer!

Muppets, how do you expect to sleep staring at a screen?

this just means you guys arent riding hard enough. if youre exhausted from riding you should fall asleep.

I'm pretty sure I've qualified in the past for ride-induced exhaustion. It does NOT help me fall asleep.

I sit there all achy and hungry for hours but still buzzed from the ride. My feet twitch, etc. It's as annoying as hell.

I got up at 2pm. That means more trouble getting to sleep tonight.

That's not insomnia, it's just changing your sleep pattern.

i'm getting tired of these threads

Maybe try those klams things that are advertised on tv? Force your self to get up earlish, fresh air exercise the usual. The less structure I have in my day the harder I find it to sleep personally.

If you are drowsy, infront of a computer (but can't sleep) try hitting the random page thing in wikipedia, and FORCE yourself to read each entire entry.
Repeat until sleep.

just shut your eyes and go to sleep! it's not that hard.

STFU

sleep the fuck up!

Tis true. Make the room dark as possible, quiet as possible and lay down. Think of words ending with M.. like home, roam, foam, mmm. Don't think about fisting or midgets. These tricks and more! worked for me when I worked nights. I still work nights but the trade is different wink wink nudge nudge

Uppers, downers and burgers. Die like the King.

Or even the Kalms things. Although on reflection, a (hairy) clam generally does the trick...

no

Don't think about fisting or midgets.

But I always think about fisting and midgets...
