So, what do you people do when you can't sleep?

[April]

I tried, but had to give up, as it just wasn't working.

It hurt too much.

 

[Bob Peale]

Warm bath and a book.

 

[Summery]

Hmm ... I usually take a hot bath with a glass of wine. It seems to relax me enough before bedtime. Probably not a good idea though, in your case.

 

[RoryN]

An old mainstay, involving me groaning and someone else putting a glass to the other side of the wall (maybe).

 

[Nora]

Sleep?


ok, seriously. I make cocoa with milk (Caffeine doesn't adversely affect me, but if it does for you then just make warm vanilla-milk or something) and sip it slowly while laying in bed in the dark. Works every time.

 

[lobito]

lay awake for hours on end.

 

[Deus Noctus]

I just try to stay awake, then I can't help but pass out...odd don't ya think

Hmm ... I usually take a hot bath with a glass of wind. It seems to relax me enough before bedtime. Probably not a good idea though, in your case.

A glass of wind? What's that?

I usually take 1/2 of a Xanax when I can't sleep.

I never have trouble sleeping, but here's a list of the common causes of insomnia:

Twenty five percent of adults and 50% of senior citizens have insomnia problems. Insomnia is also a problem that is prevalent among people with HIV/AIDS.

Causes of chronic insomnia associated with psychological problems can be deeply rooted in stress, anxiety and/or depression. Insomnia associated with medical problems can be caused by a variety of things including: iron deficiency anemia, breathing disorders, kidney dysfunction, diabetes, and in the case of HIV, can be associated with a variety of medication side effects. Insomnia can also be due to poor eating habits, caffeine, & lack of exercise.

A bath is out because I can't get out without help or hurting my wrist. Mild case of carpal tunnel. It sounds nice though.

Caffeine? I laugh in the face of caffeine. Hahaha. *smirk*

I'm just gonna sit here and moan and groan for a while.

Brat! You quoted me as I was trying to edit.

Sex is just the cure.

 

[Lay Z Butterfly]

What I like to do when I can't sleep is get up from bed, sit in a chair and read a little while. It takes my mind off of not being able to sleep and I guess relaxes my mind (which always seemed to be racing).

If I feel like I am going to have a hard time and its early enough, I will take a warm bath with lavender.

LoL..or I use lavender body lotion. The smell wafts up and when you inhale it soothes me as well.

Sorry, hon. I really thought that's what you meant- that it was some sort of new drink or something.

Did your package come yet?

 

[Summery]

You know, there's probably a drink out there called wind. lol

Not yet. Still anxiously waiting. I'll be sure to let you know as soon as it arrives.

need any help with the moaning and groaning part?

 

[April]

LOL Naw, I'm handling that part very nicely.

The pain's subsided a bit, as long as I don't move much. It's going to be a long night.

I get up to pee once a night... that's when the cat, Ivy, wants to share breathing space with me, when I get back into bed... It's her little routine... so it does take a bit to go back to sleep, she purrs at a decibel 10

It's OK... when she leaves I get a good fantasy going and finger myself to dreamland

 

[Dumpling]

When I cant go to Sleep.(which isnt to often) I usually lay in Bed for a surden lenght of time before I get up again.Some times I look for a real boring Movie on TV and watch,other times I play
a Game on the PC. or go on the Net. but none of those is a Guarantie

April, has this only been a problem since you stopped drinking?

LOL!!

Lance, is your assholishness only since you can't get laid?

 

[LukkyKnight]

Plenty of obvious suggestions already.

Reading works sometimes, or a drink might, but if it's my mind that can't let me go to sleep sometimes there's just no use fighting it and I get up and go with the flow. I've even been known to post at lit, I can provide a link if you don't know how to find it.
