velvet paws Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I've been having trouble sleeping for the last few weeks. I can't actually fall asleep until about 4am and then I have to be up again for 7.30am to get ready for school. It wasn't so bad because we recently had a week off, but the fact of the matter is I never get up again until 2pm+. No matter how many times my alarm goes off or a family member shouts me I just fall instantly back to sleep and remain dead to the world for ages. I've missed school because of it and it's my last 2 months before my final exams so I really need to go because I fell behind from bad attendance already :( I missed it again yesterday..didn't wake up until 3pm...so I'm attempting to stay up all night and then I should be able to catch the bus on time :) It's 7am already heh....only prob is my eyes are starting to get a little heavy..so I guess my brain wont be working great all day cause I'll be trying not to actually feel sleepy heh...but I realised one huge fault in my plan...I can drink Tea and Coco-cola now to keep me awake..but by the time school is over I will have been up for 25hours..then I have to go straight to my bf's to spend the evening with him :blush: :bawl: I just know I'm not going to be able to make it. I asked my mum to book me into the doctors but I don't know if he'll do anything. So basically I just want to know if anyone else has this probs and what they did...or what you suggest I could do...or what medication if any I should ask the doctor for. Like I said it's my last 2 months of study before my exams and I'm already a little behind...and no matter what I do I'm not tired til 3am/4am+....

RicoTranzrig Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Usually, I listen to some music that's really "dream" like...maybe Trance or New-Age stuff. Sometimes I pray or meditate or just try to blank out and let my mind wander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibo Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Try some of those sleep aids, those work wonders. Same with Nyquil. (hell if I know how to spell it), that stuff puts you to sleep as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvet paws Posted February 21, 2002 Author Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hmmm I spose...but I've already tried different styles of music...warm drinks...dark rooms...sittin up at my PC..watching TV..just lying there starring at the ceiling...not eating before bed...eating so much I'm stuffed before bed...writing out my feelings on paper...... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I have the sme problem.... Just listen to some music.... :) Do you have headphones? 'Cause they work really well to get you to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transtic Nerve Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Well I'd tell you an easy way to get tired and go to sleep, however it can be considered rather digusting and not appropiate so I won't say anything. (despite the fact 90% of you already know what I'm talking about... or do you?) But yeah, my ex could never sleep, he just took sleeping pills... in fact, alot of people take sleeping pills... sleeping disorders can be caused by alot of things... it can also be harmful to your health if this is to continue... If it doesn't settle down some, I'd consult a doctor. But yeah, music (relaxing music such as some trance/goa, classical music, instrumentals, baroque music (which is clinically tested to be better for your health than rock music) and whatnot... whatever relaxes you and gets your mind from thinking too much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 [SIZE=1]I used to have this trouble, I was told that I have an "active mind" and I am thinking all the time :p You [i]could[/i] go and see a doctor, if you want, but if not just try any of TN's methods *points at his post*[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I can never sleep easily, I'm always just there, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, heck, gemma is asleep ages before I am, it usually takes about an hour of me just lying there before I fall asleep....

JCBaggee Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 [color=red][size=3]Actually, watching TV or playing on the computer only makes it worse. Bright lights like a screen will keep you awake. Me? I just imagine the one person I care about most in the world and it kinda comforts me. Sounds a little psychotic, but it really helps.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 I have a lot of trouble sleeping. Even after that thing that TN didn't mention I have trouble sleeping. If it gets so bad I can't stand it I might get up and exercise until I get tired but, other than that, I just lay there until I go to sleep. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(despite the fact 90% of you already know what I'm talking about... or do you?)[/B][/QUOTE] I know it's bad, but yes, I understand that. O.o;;;;;; Anyway, during the day, use up a lot of energy. Exercise a lot. Get into screaming/fist fights. It works for me. But then again, I'm naturally an easy sleeper. But I also fight sleep.....or so I'm told. But once I sleep, don't count on me getting up unless I want to. Wild horses can't drag me out of bed. A few hot chicks, yes, but not wild horses.....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
