I have a hard time falling asleep?

[Anonymous]

This doesn't have a whole ton do with this site, but, meh.

So I have really difficult times falling asleep, especially lately. Usually I just lay there and make up stories until I fall asleep. Lately though, I simply can't imagine any, and keep thinking about incredibly creepy and disturbing images. It's driving me crazy. Or right when I'm falling asleep, some scary image pops into my head.

Admittedly, I did read a large thread on scary stories a couple of days ago. I'm usually over things like this by now.

Any idea on what could possibly help me fall asleep? :/

Thanks ^^

Excercise is good makes you physically tired and want to sleep. Keeping regualr sleep paterns also helps. Other than staying fit and living a healthy lifestyle the other option is medication, see a doctor if you are that desperate. Sleep cycles can be disturbed, by stress, worry, changes in your life etc...

Mhm. I'll probably start exercising some more, not a big fan of the medication (even though it's worked like a charm). :P

Maybe try having the tv or music on, if you are listening to something else you might not think about bad things.

I do. x_x I sleep with my music a little bit louder now, but it's no help. D:

I would say count sheep, but that never works.

Do you suffer with insomia? (if you don't know what this is google it)

also do you have a lot on your mind?

I find when I'm thinking about a scary films I watched or I have a lot on my mind I can't sleep properly for days after.

For me piano music or masturbation help the most. Anything that relaxes you might help - hot bath, the scent of lavender, chamomile tea, a beer, etc.

Lavender, masturbation, and hot bath usually work like a charm, but lately I just feel so agitated and...just outright odd. x_x

well you could lurk around online all night like I do...gosh so annoying not being able to sleep

*fistbump* that's what I always end up doing. xD
