Man, Imsomnia sucks

[biteme]

I went to bed around 10:30, woke up feeling rested, look at the clock - 12:40AM. I force myself back to sleep for a good while - 1:40AM, back I go - 2AM. I couldn't sleep for nothing after that...got up and started emailing people. Luckily that doesn't happen to me often cuz i'd have to kill people.

You just forgot to jerk it. It happens as you age.

get a new comfy bed. huge blankets. comfy pillow.

shut off ALL light in your room. so it's pitch black. sometimes' even a tiny light can subconciously keep you awake.

get a nice fan to low softly into your face while sleeping. soothes and massages you.

eliminate all noise. or just a steady sound like a waterfall.

start drinking some tea.

should cure it.

Thanks for the tips . Have the new comfy bed, huge blankets and pillows. My room is almost pitch black... except for the clock (maybe I'll try covering it). No fan, unfortunately live in city, so there's noise (I miss quiet). Don't have any relaxing teas, but I'll give it a shot.

I do all of the above and I added a hepa-filter to the room. It cleans the air and makes a great white noise sound. Also be sure you wake up and go to bed at the same time. You body will adjust to this settle down to this rythm.

Oh - one more thing....I read 1 hr before bed...it calm me down and get work and other stuff out of my head. Usually after 1/2 hr the book gets heavy and I can go to sleep easy.

and yes....release works also....bang your honey hard and you'll bioth be in REM in no time.
