Insomnia...

[Ice]

As spmetla said: eat less. Don't starve, eat well but don't abuse food. We all know that food increases our energies.

This doesn't really help when you are weight lifting and doing cardio. It's actually not healthy or good for you.

This isn't really advice for getting rid of the insomnia, but I find it's very important to general well-being-if you can't sleep, and finally drop off some time in the early morning, do not sleep in until 2-get up at your normal time, and do not take an afternoon nap. If you do either of these things, you've probably managed to turn a night's insomnia into a week or so of disrupted sleeping patterns. Not so good.

Well I used to wish for it way back when, I slept atleast 12 hours a night, now I barely get 4

12 Hours of sleep??? I usually get around 9, sometimes 8 when im not tired and im trying to read more of the book im reading and trying to develop the bags under my eyes (im not odd, i just like looking tired) Anyway, whats wrong with not sleeping, if you still feel tired, find something else to do, stare at a tv or computer screen or something simular to those. I wish i didnt sleep as much, Innsomnni is deprived from Insomnia, or Insomniac (i wrote it in a dictionary!) As on my Counter Strike Source account, with my Clan Tag and name, it ended up as Insomni, so i edited it.

I might attempt not to sleep tonight (tell me if im crazy) i just wanna know what it feels like!

First of all, you can only sleep when you're tired, I think. Don't take naps earlier on the day, that should help. And indeed, exercise, or do whatever that gets you tired. When tired, it shouldn't be problem to fall asleep, unless...

I've had my problems with falling asleep as well, mainly when my thoughts were with 1 specific girl... for me, it helps to read a book or whatever in bed. And I prefer a small lamp or whatever instead of the 'normal light'. When reading, my mind is on that, and not on complicating RL events. I usually tend to start yawning and my get trouble holding my eyes open... at that point I can put the book away, turn off the light. (make sure you don't have to walk out of bed for that.. that might disrupt your half-asleep-half-awake status)

This usually helps for me. The clue is to be tired and think of nothing. Thinking of nothing may be hard sometimes. Make sure you have some other distraction right before you sleep.

I don't tend to get all that much sleep here, since I'm at university now, often parties and such on evenings, and early out of bed again.. Sometimes it worries me, because I'm realy exhausted now and then. I usually catch up in weekends, to prevent a total breakdown. :(

Gah, 3.5 hours of sleep last night... Damn woman not getting out of my mind until about 3:30am!

Have you tried anything formthis thread Jkarinen? What does/doesn't work?

[Veho Nex]

Nothings helped from the thread but one thing has seemed to work though is incredibely unhealthy

I drink three starbucks expresso shots around 4 in the after noon and by 9:00pm I crash so hard that im asleep where ever I happen to be when I crash

[Iñnsomñni]

Or theres thatm get so drunk you cant stay awake and have an enormous headache in the morning! But honestly, how can you call beer unhealthy?

[Kagemusha]

If you want to sleep, exercise during the afternoon and then when the evening comes, kill off all the stimulants. Dont watch tv, dont open your pc, dont read a book. Try for few hours to do nothing and you will fall asleep, if your body is tired. For those who are thinking of women. I cant help you. If you have a crush ,have fallen in love, there is no help for you. The only advice for you guys is to do something about it and stop dreaming, so maybe you get some sleep.

It's concentrated caffeine I bought three double shot and downed them all instantly, but apparently I wasn't in my right mind last night when I did it. I thought everything was just a dream after about 5 O'clock so I told a lot of stuff, now I don't even talk to half the people I said stuff to, and some of the others won't leave me alone about it.
