How do you get to sleep?

If you're having trouble falling asleep, what tricks do you use to summon the sandman (not Mr. Sandman from Super PunchOut). Do you booze it until you pass out? Warm milk? Read? NyQuil?


I now usually use Melatonin supplements if I am having troubles. It's cheap and it's a natural chemical in the body and I don't feel as groggy as I usually do with nyquil or that other shit
 
Funny that this topic comes up. I went to bed about two hours ago. Tossed and turned, couldn't fall asleep. Finally decided to get up and login. Hopefully I'll be going back to bed soon.

As for ways I try to drift off to sleep? Usually think about being lost in a terrible snow storm in the mountains in my truck along with my dog. We come up to a neat looking cabin. I break the lock and we go in. I build a fire and scrounge the cabinets finding some stew and soup. My dog and I eat well and drift off to sleep in my sleeping bag.
 
I usually reflect on how pathetic my life is, and end up crying myself to sleep.

Re: How do you get sleep


Up for 20 hrs. ... 2 - 3 hr. nap ... up for another 20 hrs. ... 6 hrs. sleep ... up for another 20 hrs. ... repeat/repeat


Looking at some possible long term solutions...
√ Look into the possibility of moving your place of residence
√ "..........................." getting a new employer
√ Don't do your workouts so close to bedtime
√ Don't let you social life fall by the wayside
√ If there is a lingering personal issue bothering you, don't try to tackle it by yourself, open up to a confidant or close family member... even if they can't help you, it's somewhat relieving to release your thoughts/worries to somebody who cares.
 
I either...

a)go to sleep at 5am, wake up at 2pm. Repeat.
b)wake up at 8am for some unknown reason, go to bed at 1am.

Sometimes this changes when I have some day shifts.

If I'm having trouble sleeping...I get out of bed and play foosball/guitar/video games until I'm tired.
 
What the fuck is this "sleep" you speak of?
