Insomnia, Sleeping problems Options

[*Kathleen*]

Hmm I was just curious if anyone suffers from this...I think if I continue my sleeping habits as I do, I'll become one sooner or later. I know this is a random topic, but I noticed that VH1 has this block of music videos at three in the morning, and they call it "Insomnia Theatre" or something like that. Oh well. Anyone?

You and your VH1! Hahha.

Anyhoot, I will become one... soon.

[Yemmerz]

What about VH1...it's okay Kathleen I'm probably giong to become one this summer =] There's a show on Comedy Central called "Insomniac" yeah...but anyhoo..it's not bad, and I don't think it's something someone would be worried about.

[*Kathleen*]

Haha VH1 is the shizit. I mean, I love VH1. It could kick MTV's arse any day.

[hybrid]

I know you love VH1, Kathleen! You're my VH1 buddy remember?

[lookitskim]

I have insomnia.. i got to sleep at 4 in the morning.. and wake up at 10 in the morning..

[Luster Soldier]

I don't have insomnia...I fall asleep easily most of the time. I even managed to fall asleep at Disneyland

[Jiggapin0]

Yeah, I'm an insomniac. Adult Swim on Cartoon Network keeps me up. It's the only place I can get my dosage of Family Guy.

[pbear]

I'm not insomniac.
I need my sleep.


Once in awhile, I have trouble sleeping, but I always manage to go to bed before 4 in the morning.

[sheddingtears]

Nah. Sometimes I wish I did though, so I can actually finish my homework and not take naps. Though, I'm glad I can force myself to sleep.

[JlIaTMK]

yup Family Guy keeps me up as u could see

[angel-roh]

Same thing here. Ever since school ended, my sleeping patterns have been changed quite a bit. Now I got to bed possibly around five or six am.

[*tweeak*]

i have discovered the cure to insomnia.

i used to be an insomniac. then i had to read the autobiography of benjamin franklin for language arts. but it was very boring and no matter what time i tried to read it, i would always fall asleep. so now, whenever i cant sleep, i just pick it up and read it.

so, if you have insomniam just buy the autobiography of benjamin franklin

~~~

any other cures? and if you took my advice and bought the book, hows it working out for you?

[ghjgfkgfk]

i read the dictionary, i have small one in my room. i tried it last night. i think it worked.

In my opinion, whenever I need to go to sleep(my mom does this too), I watch The Hulk lol

[ichiban]

omgahhh the hulk is the worse movie ever >.<

[*tweeak*]

i havent seen the hulk cus it looked too dumb but i dont have a tv in my room :(

[inthemudhole]

Interesting cures..
I have insomnia, maybe I'll have to try one of those. ^_^

[*Kathleen*]

Oh my gosh! The Hulk is definitely a cure for insomnia. Both me and my best friend seperately fell asleep watching it.

[*tweeak*]

[LilAznBabe]

[Devastation]

[ethixfantazia]

[LilAznBabe]

[sophie_007]

[silver-rain]

haha, that's just like me. for example, this morning, i woke at 9:30ish, but i finally got up half and hour later...
edit

my method is cute, i've been practicing it since i was 5 and i swear to god i do this when i can't sleep. so i pretend i'm a princess, and there's an earthquake, and i get into a coma, and i wake up in a carriage in a nice warm bed (my bed) and there's a prince that rescued me and we fall in love :) it's terrible when i'm sleeping with my boyfriend though because he snores! so when he starts i scream STOP! and he stops.

haha, that is cute

[JlIaTMK]

[angel-roh]

[aud_chua]

lolz..!! the hulk cure is funny.. i hated that movie.. what a waste of movie rents...!
anyway.... i think reading a boring book does help insomniacs.. but i wouldn't say that benjamin franklin's autobiography is that boring...

[krnangelx33]

heh.. i should try these.

[Mireh]

I vector until I fall asleep from exhaustion.

[nyCzxfOx]

for some reason listen`n to loud music makes me sleep
(marilyn manson) if i listen to it over and over again
or just dozing off.. or watching old boring movies i dont understand

[visual_overload]

remedies for insomnia? hmm...wine. haha you get buzzed, feel good, and fall asleep

[F1R3B4T]

read thick books with a flashlight that has weak batteries. books that haf font thats like thsi small n then use ur arm to prop up ur head it'll be uber sore but it'll be so tiring for the eyes i tried it

[o_o*]

well. how i make myself sleep is well..
my mom told me when i was little i use to have my knees up [sit-up position] and id wiggle them till i fell asleep. haha i thought it was funny. she said i used to wiggle my foot too.
i think i still do...

[LiLrEbL365]

I think about hot guys or I think about history class. The first one, I'm not sure why it makes me go to sleep, but the second one it's fairly obvious.

[SFoT_Freak]

count up numbers slowly with your eyes closed (i done it and went up to 201)

[kellyannie]

watch tv or listen to music

[Skyline Drive]

count up numbers slowly with your eyes closed (i done it and went up to 201)

I'm going to try that.

Well I usually just listen to music until I fall asleep.

[Flip-o-Matic]

i fantasize doing things over, reliving the times in the past that i wanna redo...and i fall asleep dreaming of it.

[miss barnes]

umm i close my eyes.

[Shattered_Hope]

I listen to music..

[xXirockhardXx]

i ussually just think about life, guys, school i also watch tv or listen to music

[sharerol]

I close my eyes and think sometimes. I dunno. I just try to sleep.

[Luster Soldier]

I never try, I was usually too darn sleepy to not sleep.

[*Solipsist*]

Read a book.
Works everytime.

- Solipsist

[*salcha*]

[HongKongDong]

well. how i make myself sleep is well..
my mom told me when i was little i use to have my knees up [sit-up position] and id wiggle them till i fell asleep. haha i thought it was funny. she said i used to wiggle my foot too.

Does that really make you fall asleep? No wonder I fall asleep during the day when Im watching tv laying on my bed... thats what I do x]

Usually though....I just plop to dream land. I don't know what i'm doing before I sleep. Every morning all I know is that I know I didn't fall asleep on my bed. Yet for some reason I always wake up laying on my bed. Weird stuff >=\

--------------------
Is there not already a topic like this?

[*stephinika*]

[angel-roh]

LOL that's kinda funny and bit weird, but funny at the same time lol.

I don't think I wiggle my knees nor my foot to make myself go to bed heh... but,

If it's too cold or too hot, I fell asleep... or if there's a very calm/relaxing music --- i fell asleep ^__^

[silver-rain]

hmm, most of the time, i'm too tired and just fall asleep. but other times, i fantasize about things- like how stuff might've happened or what i want to happen, etc.

[The 1 and only J...]

i can never fall asleep cause once i hit my bed i just start thinking of things. but i try to listen to some music or watch t.v. but that never works.

[yukichan]

i usually reflect on my day and then close my eyes and sleep..lol..

[aZNbLUMUNKEEbUTT]

[EXPLO5ION]

[FLIPxADDICTION]

-sleeping pills/drowsy medicine
-listening to music
-television
-warm milk (works for me)
