I have insomnia

[Anonymous]

This is really starting to piss me off
I am so tired and I have a lovely crushing pain in my chest that won't go away

There are some really stupid suggestions online on some insomnia sites and I don't see how they could help. And then there is this:


Insomnia can have serious repercussions, including:

Playing a role in industrial disasters such as Exxon Valdez and the Three Mile Island nuclear plant accident



nice.

I thought booze caused the Exxon Valdez

Have you tried.. Laying down, and uh.. Closing your eyes?

Insomnia blows ass. I pretty much can't counter it unless I've got nyquil so I just go along with it and end up sleeping all day

I have terrible insomnia... one thing that can help (but i never do) is getting a lot of excercise during the day... that and pot :/

[soundtest]

when i finally start to drift off to sleep, i get so excited that it wakes me up... i hate that

Ny-Quil never worked for me. It seemed like it made my BODY tired, but not my MIND, and it's still extremely hard to sleep when you can't stop thinking.

And some people believe it makes you feel like you're 'high' if you try to stay awake when Ny-Quil gets you tired. Ahh, the wonders of the middle schooler mind never cease to amaze me.

well, Insomnia can be cured with reverse psychology. try staying up, and you'll get really tired, and fall asleep. *cough*making this all up, so just try it, and if it doesn't work, you can just fly over and shoot me*cough*

or, you should get someone to inject you with cyanide. you'll sleep for sure, only, there is a nasty side-effect called death, so, you might not want to take this advice.

Strychnine and visits to the parent's house have the same effect.

I've been having horrible insomnia recently. I always have trouble falling sleep, but recently it's been really bad. I can not, no matter how hard I try, get more than six hours of sleep in a day/night, and lately it's been coming in two hour bursts

Nyquil helps, but only if I take a lot of it, and I still can only sleep for six hours. And then I'm even more tired when I wake up.

Perhaps that's why they show nothing but infomercials late at night, to try to help people sleep.

This, of course, does not faze anyone that has a VCR, lol.

I usually have insomnia though because I keep odd hours. I'll get MAYBE 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night, work, go home, take a nap (or if I'm REALLY tired, nap during lunch) and then I end up not getting a lot of sleep when it's night time.

I can only thank GOD I don't work 7 days a week. I'd collapse.

And, umm, everyone's parents used to say "Drink warm milk."

Maybe that works. ::shrugs::

[James]

Warm milk kicks ass.

[Skulhedface]

Yes, but does it work?

MY parents seemed to favor the "Cold Beer" approach.

[James]

Warm milk kicks ass.

I battled insomnia a few years back when I was heavily retrospective and emotionally intense. After about three months, I got so fed up with not sleeping I said "fuck it." I just didn't care anymore. After that I started sleeping better. Apathy is a cure-all.

I don't know about long term insomnia, but on night's when you simply cannot sleep, try sleeping at the other end of the bed. Works every time.

benadryl. no seriously.

It only hurts when my eyes bleed.

[McClain]

Eat a fresh avacado and drink a cup of warm milk. Before going to bed, stretch your arms above your head for about 10 seconds. When you get in bed, slap your eyes for about 2 minutes. It never fails.

[Skulhedface]

Or maybe just turn off the TV.

I have the perfect solution. when I can't sleep, I go read The Name of the Rose. it's a difficult book, but, just about any book with small letters will do, then go read, and try to keep reading for as long as possible, you'd get more tired every second, and when you put it down after a while of sleeping, you're gonna fall asleep. it works (I hope)
