i'm not sure what i have is imsonmia. Its just that i cant sleep till 2am no matter what... and the three days of the week i have have to get up at 6 30am for school. Bleh...

Go for a run an hour before you want to be asleep. Have a shower and go to bed.....you'll be out in no time.

i take nytol.

ummm its ok. it gives me really weird head throbbing pain...i dunno...its weird

but its knocks me out

the only bad thing is about it...it doesnt leave you feeling refreshed in the morning...i feel really groggy and sick when i wake up

advice from a trouble bi polar sleeper..smoke weed, everything sleepy makes you sleepy when you have to get up, they are addictive, dangerous and all together shitty.

hard work in the day will help also.

i honestly wouldnt reccommend taking these pills if you really dont need to

and at least dont take them every night...try it for one or two nights, and then try falling asleep on your own after that

or try going to bed sooner.

if you can't sleep because of things on your mind...write them down...it may help you destress a bit before bed.

ummm....physical acitivity does help...but usually not RIGHT before bed...cause sometimes you just end up more awake after working out.

try not drinking any caffeine a few hours before bed...or you may have to actually change certain things in your diet.

try to only go to the sleeping pills as a last resort.

some people can become extrememly addicted to them.

i HAVE to take them sometimes...becuase unlike your 4 hours of sleep i would get maybe a half hour.

i stopped smoking weed about 9months ago :o)

i dont drink anything with caffine at all (no pop, or anything)... and i do work myself hard druing the day.. but once i get home and sit down in front of the comp or lay in bed i'm wide awake.

i have some nite where i swear i lay there and not sleep AT ALL... i get glimps and images of me looking at the clock pass every 15, 30, 60 mins all the way to the morning... EW!!

then get tylenol sleep away...or whatever, over the counter non- anti depressant is best..that stuff works well so only take one.

or

there is always

Get a sleeping pattern!

The reason you can't get to sleep early is because you've spent all summer going to bed late and sleeping in

and you need to stick to your sleeping pattern, you can't let yourself sleep in too late on the weekends

(it IS possible, I'm up early on saturdays even if I was drinking until like 5 the morning before :p)

charly · #21 (**permalink**) Sep 09, 04

have you always only been able to sleep after 2am? or is it just recently?

anyways, gravol works good. it's cheap too, and it's an anti-nauseant, has nothing to do with menstrual cramps.

why don't you try hiding the clock ;)

Tylonol PM works great! Take two and you're good for the night. The groginess factor is pretty high in the morning though.

yea i'll try hard with the sleeping pattern change.

i'm kind of the same way with "waking up at the same time no matter what stuff", like i'd drink and party till 6am go to bed, and still wake up at 9am... good'ol conditioning.

I use to be able to wake up at the time that i tell myself too before bed. (like Kramer) It was kinda cool... it never failed me... until i found weed and alcohol

if all else fails, to the drug store i go!
