First thread of the day (proper day!)

[AppleSei]

Its 06.23am, i was last on the forum 3 hours prior, i am having really bad problems getting any and to sleep in the last few days

I dont know what to do i am at the end of my teather! I cant get comfy anymore.

I reckon i have had 5 hrs sleep in 48hrs which isnt very good

Does being diabetic have anything to do with a change in sleeping patterns? Ive not really what i call had a good noghts sleep in months. Any tips on getting a good nights kip?

GHB, ketamine.....

Try eating some complex carbs like oats before bed.

 

[mase]

on a serious note before it gets any more incrimating

john: y cant you sleep? do you constantly have something on your mind? are your not tired at all? or is it just that u cant get to sleep?

give it a few more days, then id say go see a doc, insomina can kick your ass, and can be triggered by a huge life change / traumatic or very stressful event.

or get down the gym..... hour or so hard work in the gym and youll be nackered and sleep like a baby

 

[AppleSei]

Not really had much on mind. I feel fine i cant belive it

Im washing all my bedspread in my dillousioned state

Or he might end up over training, then won't be able to sleep!

If you're stress free, then it could very well be diet related, I don't want to say much more on that as I'm no expert when it comes to all things Diabetic and don't want to make things worse!

Try the obvious, you don't drink a double expresso mocho coffee caffeine epherdrine moose whip stimulant coffe at night do you?

Maybe a change in climate causing you to stay awake.

sounds like you need to wear less clothing to bed or sleep on top of your covers.

if that fails try sleeping on the floor.

 

[AppleSei]

I thought that so i opened my window and 'slept' in the buff!

Didnt work though

 

[Big Black Stilo]

I'd say summats a miss.

I sonetimes get like this, maybe once a month.

I put it down to this:

It was always sunday night the day before being on earlies (so up at 6.30am monday)

Sunday is lie in day and also not doing very much.

Obviously to awake to sleep as not stimulated enough in the day, then getting stressed at not being able to sleep at all and it being half 4 in the morning and still feel wide awake

 

[Big Black Stilo]

Try reading a book in poor light

 

[Trancendental]

Don't do that unless you want to go blind and give your self epilepsy, not necessarily in that order.

 

[Magical Trevor]

Try reading a book in poor light

That does actually work, been doing it for years and so far not blind or epileptic.
Insomnia really does suck, I've accepted that Im not gonna get more than 4 hours of sleep a night, , still bloody annoying though. The only thing that is certain to send me to sleep is stupid amounts of alcohol, but I'e decided thats not really healthy

and i don't think you sleep properly anyway... after a night on the lash, i always still feel tired regardless of the length of time i've slept for.

And you could end up with a chilly willy

so you're awake cos you wet the bed ?

 

[Liam]

I find it impossible to sleep after just being on the computer for whatever reason, I watch 30mins of a DVD to wind down then sleep.

[hmallett]

Don't worry this John, this will help you sleep more peacefully tonight.
I'm surprised no-ones suggested any alternative methods of getting to sleep... :tosser:

[Morritt]

actually watching a DVD (or telly) can be bad for sleep as the bright lights and activity etc can keep your mind awake which stops you sleeping.

personally i lie in bed and read a chapter of a book and i sleep like a baby (even though i have plenty to stress about right now!!)

 

[Liam]

My DVD's are my version of books, I know what you mean but it works for me.

Like BBS said earlier, I get like this sometimes, usually a Sunday night too, lie their thinking what you need to do during this week (all the stuff I didn't do last week LOL) I might resort to a couple of beers now to rectify this.

What Complex about Oats?

Sorry weird mood...

To sleep i find drinking a nice warm drink such as warm ribena! (mmmm) Generally calms your body down then sends you to sleep... or is that just me?
