Sleeping lately = not me.

[*ebony*]

Do something really boring. it's really not a good idea to start surfing the internet(your mind will always find something to search for) or delve into an engrossing novel just before bedtime. Instead, tackle a boring task like doing paperwork or the dishes or something. You could also read a few pages of a difficult book or skim a work-related document(don't do this if your know your going to be think about work afterwords i think) anyways choose something tha wont leave you saying three hours later "WTF its 2 o'clock alreay?!?"

okay here's another one, taking a nice warm bath. its an excellent way to dissolve tensions and leave the day behind. It has a paradoxical effect: the warm water rises your body temperature at first, but then later on makes it drop faster, easing your way into the night by making you feel sleepy. But don't take it just before going to bed for that same reason.

well those work for me most of the time anyways.

oh did i mention massages! they're the best! uuummmm massages

How do you slapdicks fall asleep and stay asleep (no dopo)? I've stopped taking benadryl because I'd been having to take more to sleep and the effects the next day sucked. I'd shake and just not feel right. It's been a couple of months since I stopped, so I don't know what's causing this lately. I'll fallasleep ok, but then I'll hear the baby stir, I'll check on her, and then I can't fully fall asleep again. I just lay there, barely not sleeping but aware of everything around me. I'm completely fried lately and it's fucking with me. I don't want anything that could be habit forming, because I'm a habit picking up kinda personality.

i hate fucking benadryl . i feel like im sleep walking the next day

This always works for me:

while you are laying there, start with your toes and completely relax the muscles your toes, feet, working up slowly to your neck and shoulders not skipping a body part whatever whatever. While you are doing this picture yourself slowly falling into the mattress, further further down as you relax into the mattress, below the bed into a deep black relaxing hole. Only think about relaxing and slowly falling.

i know it sounds like a wierd thing to do, but i was surprised.

must be pretty boring conversations!j/k
the net helps me fall asleep, but i have to be pretty tired and worn out to begin with and i'm already partially asleep. otherwise surfing the net chatting and stuff doesn't work for me.

and like i said about the book, depends on which one i read. if i start a really engaging novel, i have a hard time putting it down. so something that doesn't suck you in is best, that ways you partially detached and it helps clear away other thoughts that may keep you awake too.

Lunesta is always good to me. All others, even Tylenol PM, makes me feel drugged-out.

Bath, Book, Sex, bed. I always have the temptation to squeeze in a post sexytime snacky poo but am learning it's not that good for my bodyfat. Anyway, for real, it helps but it requires a willing partner and sometimes that's hard.
