I obviously decide to post about it like a weirdo...
But first I got up to drink some water... then I laid back down and thought about the nightmare I had...
I know they say you should avoid getting on your phone when trying to go back to sleep but that didn't work either. So what about you? What do you do?
I just ended a long drought of rare sleeplessness/only 4 hours a night. Usually sleep like the dead. Normally writing thoughts down helps as you can trick your brain into knowing it's written down to remind you in the morning, no need to think about it. But we're in the middle of a rare excruciatingly hot July.. and muggy heat just can't be slept around.
I'll message people like @sirderpsalot123 long spools of thought and then delete the boring parts before he wakes. He sees these glitch-flash on the message app before they flash off resulting in him yelling at me how annoying it is. Makes for morning entertainment. Also frees up venting when you know you can in fact delete. Something that's hilarious at 2am isn't as at 7-8am.. 🥱
... 😒
Love you, buddy. 😎
😶 It's not as funny as I first think it was, so I have to delete.
Make yourself write gibberish, see if that helps the flow? Derp just watches horror movies.
lol
I hope the journal helps you. Sleeplessness is rough on you the entire day.
He's a Derp through and through. haha
@quarrel @GirlsAskGuys "trolling"
1. I do yoga a little before bedtime, which usually helps. That along with soothing tunes, and followed by a nice hot tea are great prep for bed if you've been sleepy and out of it.
2. Don't sit around on G@G or other apps after a certain time bc it's not conducive to sleep. Shut the screens off.
3. I had a very "when Harry Met Sally" chat going with someone for a while and that was a nice last thing to have... someone to laugh with and say "good night" to was nice.
4. If you don't have #3, put one of the newer Planet of the Apes movies... or something equally dull. My eyes eventually get too heavy to stay open out of sheer boredom.
5. Avoid doing anything that's mentally stimulating.
I used to stretch and do a little yoga. It did help. But recently I haven't... I've just been feeling ugh...
It's hard for me to shut my phone off if I've had a really bad dream. They are vivid and hard to forget unless I distract myself by grabbing my phone and watching something or messaging someone... or posting about how I can't sleep lmao
But yeah... I finally went back to sleep and my alarm woke me up an hour later haha
Well certainly get all electronics right out of the bedroom , this only makes problems , I have a method that is a mindset basically , where even if I feel there is absolutely no way I can sleep , I can basically , I close my eyes tightly , try and thing of something opposite to the bad dream , and then I find within 10 minutes I'm back in a super deep sleep.
m I have that a fair bit.
i will sometimes get up and sit in the garden with a whisky or Gin n Tonic, have tried Gag but me and Gag at 4am is not a great.
I will sometimes get some work emails sorted for the next day.
i had this the other morning, I had a bunch of foxes setting off security lighting and then some owls having a rave.
I am tired and I get a bit direct in what I say lol. Luckily I don’t have to worry about DM’s
Erm quite possibly. I struggle with stupidity at best of time, tired then it is to quote a friend time for the Axes to come out 🤣

u I usually get out of bed and play Solitaire on my laptop, and sometimes I have a cup of coffee.
This is probably really weird. But I write a fictional book in my head. I come up with the theme, plot and characters and then I start the story. I can never make it very far because I end up falling asleep. But I would pick up where I think I left of the next night. Works everytime. Or melatonin works too.
Struggle. Play on my phone.
I usually sleep with one of my girlfriend's essentially harnessed face to my cootchie. It's pretty difficult to sleep in that position for her as you can probably imagine, so if she managed to fall asleep like that before me and I haven't, I basically can't move and just suffer. If she's still up I can move and go do something else and just let her sleep regularly instead.
Nope! Lmao.
It can be pretty intense! Lmao.
Honestly, I usually just come on here, and either answer questions, or dm w/ someone most of the night! But after two days of poor sleep, I’ll take a sleeping pill, and then I’m out like a light.
Oh YEAH! Amen sister 🙏 All hail pharmaceutical sleep 😴
Well, I am gonna mention a guilty pleasure, I read enemies to lovers romance books in a fictional setting.
Or I play video games.
Or I code or study if I have an on-going project.
I'm thinking... and thinking a lot until i drift in to sleep... and if that doesn't do the trick, then i put a movie, as low volume as possible just to barely hear it, and i'll drift in to my so much need nap easily...
Yeah... i wouldn't suggest phone, laptop, tv as those they tend to Hype the Curiousity which kills the mood for sleep...🤷♂️🤦♂️😅
Very welcome... if i were you i would've get off the "screen time" and just make everything around me/my room pitch black, and just focus on the music... that way you'll drift in to sleep in no time...😉🤫
😅... ok... Wet dreams..💦... a.. ermmm... Sweet dreams i meant...😅🤭😂🌹🌹🌹
@7Phoenix7... 😅... i apologise about the wet dream, glad that the normal one worked...🥰
I read... sometimes text, and if it's a lost case, I go to the gym (mine is open 24/7) :D
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy :D
the trilogy in six books :D
Life, the Universe and Everything, the 3rd
Read, turn the radio low.
I read lightweight short novels with short chapters like from Robert B Parker. They are easy to stop at during and not lose your place.
Yes, and sometimes I masturbate with a fast, effective sex toy to drain a little adrenaline.
weed a few hours before i try to
if thats not a choice then i literally have to just try to sleep for probably 3 hours and not do anything bc i don't wanna risk fucking up how awake i am
oh that sucks
what does it do to you
I read in a book that tryin 2 sleep doesn't help. I forgot the breathing exercises. It said write in a journal what you're thinking about durin sleeplessness. I lay down in bed n listen 2 my phone until I sleep.
Take melatonin pill or have something playing in the background till my restless mind calms down. The worst is when you brain is just circling, that's why I like a mindless sitcom on in the background or even a black screen with rain sounds
I do that all the time! My brother actually has calming music on all the time that he is home
I make it a point to pray for everyone I know.
I have never made it past 6 people yet.
That also works if you ever wake up with night terrors.
I listen to Quran recitations to put myself into sleep.
I am listening to music, reading, or both.
I just usually toss and turn. I have a hard time getting to sleep. I can be dead tired but as soon as my head hits the pillow, my mind starts racing.
staring at the ceiling lol
Apparently, I work, and stay on GAG. I was just getting something done i wanted to get done. I got a lot of it, but, i need help with the rest of it. But, yeah, otherwise, im on here
I work for a non profit, that protects and advocates for people with disabilities. I'm not a rep though. I'd need a social services degree to do that, and im not really wanting to. I'm just an office assistant. Well, im not actually sure what i am at this point, because my job has evolved, but they haven't really given me a title yet, im just sort of stuck in limbo
thanks, i think
Normally I have no problems sleeping unless I’m stressed or can’t shut my brain off. Sleeping upside down helps and is what I did last night. But last night and the few nights last week has been because of the heatwave and it being too hot to sleep
I lie in bed looking st the clock and try to fall asleep. Its usually 50/50
@7Phoenix7. That's the idea.
I listen to brown noise on youtube. It works
Take a wee, shower again, read, watch a show, hop on here :)
Thanks :)
I'd say it depends on your definition. I usually can't slee0 more than 4 hours due to crazy work hours at my last job :)
It should, but it doesn't anymore. I've gotten pretty used to it so now I just have an extra 3-4 hours in each day :)
If I'm really exhausted I /can/ sleep 8 hours, I'm just usually not exhausted these days.
Depends on why
Right now it's too hot, can only wait for it to cool down hopefully
There is only one solution - either solo or tandem :-)
Honestly? I just lie there until I fall asleep. I know it’s not advised, but I just lie there.
Never had this problem, I can sleep everywhere, anywhere and anytime lol
Usually music. Sometimes browsing online or playing a game.
Watch anime or listen to relaxing music as i wait for the melatonin pills to kick in
Yeah, melatonin mainly works when paired with something that relaxes the body.(by the way i replied to your DM)
Masturbate. That usually helps relax me enough to initiate sleep
Look at stuff on phone until I get exhausted
it's really really hard
... but make my eyes tired... try to focus some thinking and mind work... like quarantine days it happened
Reading usually helps me
I no longer fight it.
Play video games or bother @dustybiker2
She does say she sometimes needs a break from me lol
No, I have chainsaw man as my profile because I hate chainsaw man... lol
Help me get @miah04 to watch it
You are terrible help. That isn't going to get her to watch it, lol...
@7Phoenix7 you helping derp to trick me?😭
Masturbate, easiest way I know to relax again.
Take a pill 💊
Watch YouTube videos on my phone.
Start drinking whiskey
When I can't sleep I usually stay awake instead
m I don't sleep
@NathanDavis come here
still, as sharp as my tongue...
I can't sleep right now
Take a bath 🛁 and listen music 🎵 🎶
Try it
Workout until I'm exhausted
Read a book or smoke weed lol
And? 😋
Why enemy?
That sounds like a you problem don’t throw weed under the bus 🤣
Have sex if she's still awake too
I read, or I listen to music.
Whats the last song you listened to?
Circles Of Love, by X-Perience.
What kind of music you like?
i don't have a favorite genre. I like songs from a bunch of different genres. I just listened to the Circles of Love... not bad.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
Watch a movie or read maybe a shower wbu?
@7Phoenix7 yeah cool we have something in common. I also love yoga and working out as well. what kind of movies do you like watching?
@7Phoenix7 been a while since I done it but would defiantly do it with you 😘 what do you usually wear and find comfortable for yoga? and I love all those too. I also like adventure, and adult too.
@7Phoenix7 I was curious too does yoga make you really horny? cause it does it to me for some reason 😊
eating something puts me right out
