What do you do when you have insomnia?

Question

Keyboardkat · Accepted Answer

They tell you if you absolutely can't fall asleep, stop fighting it and get up and read or work or something.

Or, take some L-tryptophan, which is sleep-inducing. Turkey meat, by the way, has a lot of tryptophan. Or, an old standby, we used to have a jar of codeine-containing cough syrup. This really works. But it requires a prescription. Next time you get a cold, maybe you can get your doctor to prescribe it for the coughing. Then, don't use all of it if possible, and keep it around for when you can't sleep!

Drink... I drink high alcohol beer. Doing that now. Just took a stack of L-glycine and L-tryptophan... about to take my L-theanine and then just slam beers and watch wartime stories or bedtime stories until I feel like sleeping. I guess I could try masturbating... but that's real hit or miss, I could go up stairs and fuck my wife but the physical work will just wake me up more.

I have had it for going on 25 years. I just live with it now. Not only that, but I quit popping pills for it many years ago.

Play a game called Vita Mahjong for 30 min. It helps you fall asleep.

Massageman · Answer

Inhale 4 seconds, hold breath 5 seconds, slow exhale 7 seconds. I always have my fallbacks of Melatonin and L-trypt, but haven't needed them for a year!

Genie23 · Answer

I used to binge-watch series or watch movies and that was a bad idea which I realised at some point. What helped me was drinking warm turmeric milk before going to bed. Seriously, it would help me relax and fall asleep. Also, put your phone away and stop using your phone and hour before you go to bed. Curd or buttermilk with dinner helps too as it has tryptophan content which helps you fall asleep soon.

Hardon-Collider · Answer

You have to work on your soul. If you can't sleep, it's because your soul is not properly connected to your body, usually because it's expanded too far out. You need to strengthen your soul through art and music. Listen to a piece that has a calming, grounding quality, or engage in some other art form that brings a sense of balance and peace. It will help your soul properly re-enter your body and you'll be able to sleep.

AviatorTom · Answer

When I have difficulty sleeping, I usually get up and eat something sugary, typically a small bowl of cereal with milk. That usually makes me sleepy. If that doesn't do it, I watch stupid YouTube videos... gotta be the dumb ones... that usually puts me to sleep out of boredom.

Procrastibate.

When you can't sleep you could make good use of your time by cleaning or getting chores out of the way while trying to tire yourself out so you can sleep. But genenerally I just put those off (procrastinate) to just masterbate. Hence the term "procrastibate".😆

mariaaya · Answer

I usually don't fall asleep until around 6 a. m. and then sleep until about 11. Even if I go to bed at night and try to sleep, I just don't feel sleepy. My headphones are on 24/7. To be able to sleep, I need a cool place, plus a shower, drying and braiding my hair, then a nice herbal tea, a good movie, clean clothes, pleasant scents, and some candles. Only then do I feel ready to sleep.
