how do you get to sleep?, for those insomniacs like me Options

[batman]

it's been impossible for me lately, even with ambien which usually knocks me out. benadryl does absolutely nothing and neither does nyquil.

i've only been able to sleep about 1-2 hours every night for the past week. i'm tired but i just can't sleep.

real easy, stay off the computer dummy.

your computer's light is designed to emulate the sun's bright lights so it messes with your brain when you're staring into "the sun's light" all day, all night. at this point it's probably a habit for you to not sleep and dick around

it's really bad for you to have irregular sleep, you should be getting at least 5 minimum. did you know you're more likely to take risks as someone who doesnt get enough sleep? there's a whole bunch of other articles that are out now that show that lack of sleep is HUGELY detrimental to your health.

look, first off let's try to break that habit of staying up late on the computer. 2nd off, i'd recommend trying this program. it'll maybe help with the brightness situation.

third, stay off the computer, get some ear plugs and try to go to bed by 1:00AM latest. it's going to be hard as hell the first few days or weeks trying to get your body back on normal track (but that's the price you pay) and it might involve a few nights of just laying there for hours before you fall asleep.

fourth, try to find a routine before you go to bed. like, read a book or something. change the lighting, listen to calming music

fifth, stay off the f*cking computer dweeb
