Can't sleep :( Anyone have any good sleep ideas?

[smahala1991]

Any ideas how to fall asleep easily?

[redeyemindtricks]

Just stay awake until tomorrow night. Go to bed a couple hours "early".

Not kidding -- you'll obviously sleep soundly after that. And, you'll probably discover some interesting new states of mind, if allnighters aren't something you're used to. (In general, completely sleepless nights alleviate depression, promote creativity, and help people with lateral thinking -- I can link you to studies on all these, if you're interested.)

If you are not a hardcore caffeine addict already, a couple caffeine pills (or cups of coffee) every 3-4 hours should keep you plenty alert.
If you already consume lots of caffeine, go to the counter at yr pharmacy, ask them for bronkaid tablets (ephedrine), and take one 25mg tablet with 200mg of caffeine every 3-6 hours.

Blink really fast for a good 30 seconds to a minute or slow deep breathing. If not just get up and do something until you feel tired again

[smahala1991]

I might just turn on youtube

Milk+honey in it. Also have no issues eating as much as you please then. Listen to some ambiant music, something calm and soothing. Relax, and let yourself go. Sometimes I tell myself "stay awake". For me, it's the perfect way to fall asleep lol. "Sleep now" has the opposite effect on me.

Get a new blanket or sleep on the other side of your bed - putting your head where your feet would usually go

[Schrodingerscat]

-Make sure your room's temperature is pleasant
-Avoid taking siesta if you do
-Read a book
-Gap of at least 3 hours between dinner and sleep time
-Have milk before you go to sleep
-Avoid using phone, computer, TV etc at least 1/2 hour before you go to sleep

Lavender oil, usually if i can't sleep i take a warm shower and use lavender oil, once i climb into bed i do my breathing exercise, breathing light in through my mouth, pushing the dark air out through my nose, it helps shut my mind off and keep it on one track and i usually pass out in 15 to 20 mins

Warm milk with cinnamon can help.

Or just warm milk alone too.

Try to relax every muscle in your body, focusing on each section by tensing it up and then relaxing. I've read this can help and I've tried it myself.

OR try hypnosis. There are many videos like that on Youtube.

I got told by my doctor that a good way to fall asleep is to clench every muscle you can in your body for a few seconds and keep doing this on repeat for 10 minutes. Then focus on your breathing, exhale all of your breath and count to either four or five seconds, then inhale for four or five seconds.

Listen to some asmr videos on youtube. Just listen, don't watch...

[smahala1991]

[Alex88F]

[Sweetie3423]

Read a few pages from a book.

[Mustachekitteh]

Read something?

[Surprisinglyconfused]

jerk off then relax.

[smahala1991]

Why jerk off?

[redeyemindtricks]

Presumably the idea being that you'll get sleepy after an orgasm? ::shrugs:: I always thought that was more of a girl thing.

[Surprisinglyconfused]

sometimes works for me. basically that ^^
sometime works sometime doesn't.

[redeyemindtricks]

My understanding was always that we were the ones who rolled over and passed out, and that you all had to get up and take a wiz sometime within the next 10-15 minutes... or else. At least if you were sufficiently hydrated.

[Surprisinglyconfused]

for me it depends what time it is and how long I haven't done it for. usually if its been a while and its late I'll knock out quick. it helps.

[shawnski]

Jacking off works everytime
