The I cant sleep thread

[JimMachine™]

We've all done it; been online late, cant sleep or dont want to sleep yet, nothings happening on the board/myspace/facebook etc.. you're bored of youtube and surfing so you just sit and wait for something vaguely amusing to happen.

State your reason!!

Me now = I miss my beautiful girlfriend.

[Mandy_]

Its only 11:25, I'm waiting for Conan O'Brien to come on so I can stare and laugh at my television for an hour, mhmmm, Then I will climb into bed all happy.:LOL:

[Popey]

Simply not tired. Done loads today though including get drunk and high. Still not tired. Hmmm.

[Gleep]

I dunno I just... can't most the time.

Even if I'm really tired I'm too lazy to go to bed. Even though I'm already sort of in my bed... all I have to do is lie down and shut my eyes.

This is basically banter though :p

[ScarredEyes]

I have a problem with bed.

The only way I can really get to sleep at the moment is by staying awake all night, then going to bed until the evening and so feeling really tired and able to wake up at an early hour such as this.

Which reminds me, I must phone up for the results of the blood test.

[E-Mused]

Erm sometimes I just don't feel tired

But what I do sometimes if I have to get up early the next day or something is try to go to bed half an hour early, not necessarily to get to sleep, but just to lay there completely still, and sometimes that can get you sleepy.

Conan is one of the funniest shows on all of television!

I can't sleep. Ever.

[InsertCreativeNameHere]

Yeah, it bloody sucks. When I go to bed I just lay and think about stuff, namely a girl I can't be with who I can't stop thinking about. I'd say Iv'e been getting about 2-4 hours a night but I'm always waking up in between. It's crap and not good for you :(

[Ullalume]

Man, I can always sleep.

[Sarah]

I used to sleep sixteen hours a day. Now I can't get to sleep before 3am & wake up at 9am. :(

[Sophie.]

My problem is that I allow myself so little time during the day to just think about stuff. So when I get in bed, I end up just letting my mind wander, but not letting myself go to sleep. I only tend to fall asleep immediately if I'm absolutely shattered. So if I think I'm getting a really early night, I don't generally fall asleep until an hour or two after I get in bed. I oughtta do something about that, but it's really relaxing.

[Edzo]

I used to sleep sixteen hours a day. Now I can't get to sleep before 3am & wake up at 9am. :(

16 hours a day!? Thats pretty hardcore.

[Sarah]

16 hours a day!? Thats pretty hardcore.

Yup. I loved my sleep. Used to do that & have an hour or so nap in the afternoon too. Ahh - first year. <3.

[Clunge]

It takes me between an hour and two hours to fall asleep most nights, and I'm a relatively early riser in student circles (I'm rarely still asleep after 8:30/9:00).

Same. I do my thinking in bed. Its really the only time where you can think without something bothering you.

[GorkerMorker]

Well here's a trick for the 'compulsive thinking while in bed' syndrome. Slow that voice in your head down, make it mellow, monotome downright boring. You basically bore yourself to sleep.

[Sarah]

My trick is to think of the concept of black. If I think of black, I think of nothing. Works everytime.

[seregon]

But then you're forcing your brain to do something which makes it worse

[GorkerMorker]

No it doesn't, it's suprisingly easy to change the tonality of your brain.

[Mandy_]

Conan is one of the funniest shows on all of television!

I can't sleep. Ever.

I know!
I absolutely hate TV but I will watch him nonstop.:LOL::happy:

[Gleep]

No it doesn't, it's suprisingly easy to change the tonality of your brain.Yeah I do it by accident all the time... it actually creeps me out and scares me when it slows down cos it doesn't stop and it just gets really creepy and I can't stop it :(

Not my brain

[nooge]

ooo i get that when it doesn't stop when i want it to, i thought I was the only one haha glad im not crazy

[Gleep]

ooo i get that when it doesn't stop when i want it to, i thought I was the only one haha glad im not crazyNope and sometimes I get it the other way too, really fast chipmunk like voices that I don't know what their saying and won't go away /crazy

It really scares me :(

[AbigailMassacre]

These days i can't really sleep, wake up a dozen times at night.
And trying to fall insleep is hard to :stunned: and i hate it.

[New Born Lee]

I can never not get to sleep nowadays. I've kinda taught myself how to get to sleep, so I rarely have bad nights when I just cant.

Edit: damn, double post!

[Crayola]

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy worked for me. I used to be pilled up to the eyeballs on every sleeping tablet I could have and would still be in a semi-comatose state of alertness. Started to analyse to processes of what was going on in my brain when I wanted to sleep and what I could do to change them and I've not had a bad nights sleep in months.

[Bixer]

It's really annoying, on school days when I have to wake up early, I find it nigh on impossible to get out of bed.

But then when it comes to going to bed later on that day, I just don't feel tired and so don't really want to go to bed.

But even though I'm not tired, I can fall asleep within a few minutes usually pretty easily.

What an annoying cycle. Why does the world have to start so early?

[Annette]

Me now = I miss my beautiful girlfriend.

Me= hoping my boyfriend is thinking the same as you..


and my ear keeps on buzzing, i hear a constant bloodflow inside my ear:mad: its so loud that it keeps me awake...and makes me wanna rip off the entire thing:mad: anyone else ever had that? and is there a way to MAKE IT STOP???

Oh and for the compulsive thinkers (Im one of them); take a herbal sleepingjuice, you can order it at www.easysleepplaza.com and within an hour your mind calms down and your eyes start burning and there's no way you can stay awake.
I dont like medicines, so this is perfect...its completely natural and it actually works.

The buzzing...do you get like a high pitched ringing as well? If you do it's probably tinnitus. It's a bitch but if there's any permanent damage there's no cure for it. There are ways of relieving it though. Try sleeping with a tiny amount of white noise in the background, it'll reduce the impact that the tinnitus has.

No, no ringing...just my bloodflow..annoying! I never had it for so long in a row and normally only when i was extremely tired, it starts to scare me a bit now though:( what if it means im going deaf on one ear! Ive heard stories like that..


@ Edzo: Keira FIT?? Ive also heard maaaaanny people saying the opposite..so thats why I asked..Just to be sure :happy:

[ultramarine]

I have delayed sleep phase syndrome. It's 4 am and i have to get up at 8 :(

[sventington]

Morphine helps, if you can come across it.

[Mandy_]

I can get to sleep no matter what or how tired I am as long as I do my nightly ritual of:

laying on my side/stomach in between region curled up in a tight ball with my fleece blankets stuffed into all the nooks of my body so a draft can't get in then with a comforter or two on top of that, my head buried into my pillow and covered by a blanket.

Its so odd though, I have to be in that position to get to sleep at night, and I wake up in the same position and conditions, yet when I wake up my sheets are always in a tangled mess.

[Apple]

its about 20 degrees at night here and you cant sleep with the blankets because its to hot but if you dont all the mozzys get you ='''''(

I should get out of this thread before I start naming every Muse song.

[Bananas]

I have the same problem. I have to restrain myself from mentioning Muse sometimes. Either that or go back to main muse and get it out of my system:LOL:

That guy in a rabbit costume scares me...:stunned:

[alyssa_]

Bah. It's 4 AM--slept at 12, but I woke up cuz my dog kept barking, plus my nose started bleeding. -_-

Also I'm really fucking nervous/excited cuz I have a talent show to play in, then I'm leaving to go camping immediately after.

[Apple]

that bunny.... was freakish..:stunned:

[Zeek]

gah I have been awake since 4.30 and have to start getting ready for work soon. :mad:

[Enjoy Your Worries]

heeey, me too. except it was 6 when I passed out. Now I'm trying to study and getting nowhere.

[The_Tourist]

Urgh. I can never fall asleep unless I spent a night studying. :(
I always get into my bed and lay there thinking about stuff... trying to think of good things I'd like to dream about and I roll over and it's been thirty minutes, an hour.
And almost every night I spend time trying to entertain myself when I am tired and for some reason just don't want to go to bed.

[lensip max]

I have insomnia :happy:

*joins Wide Awake Club*

[The_Tourist]

IT'S 12:05 AM! I've got a while to go... :[

[lensip max]

My doctor reckons you shouldn't try to sleep so hard.

So I stopped trying.

Still no sleep lol.

[*OoS*]

Something close to insomnia. Treated with telly and booze, many nights of the week lol. Sky <3 so much decent crap on at night like Dave :D

[QueenOfNerds]

I have just woken up! Lucky I work from home really. I was up all night looking for a huge blood sucking insect in my bed, I had it in my mind that I was going to be eaten for some reason. I kept getting offended when my boyfriend was laughing at me.
Feel like crap but coffee and Muse board always wakes me up.

[lensip max]

I got these herbal sleepy pills from the chemist (because I don't like the valium somebody else gave me :erm:) and they're quite good.

They don't help me fall asleep, or stay that way, but the sleep I do get is deeper than usual, so I feel more rested anyway :)

Nature's Own. They've got the highest concentrations of stuff in them of all the different insomnia herbal help things what were on offer at that pharmacy.

Said stuff being valerian, hops, passionflower, chammomile, calcium hydrogen phosphate, and magnesium phosphate :happy:

I know quite a few people get stoned in order to sleep, but like I can afford to do that :phu: (even forking out the $14.99 for these ones has set me back something fierce :LOL:)

[Strawberry_Juice]

Oh hai thar.
I don't deal with caffeine well. This is why I hardly ever drink soda.

[The_Tourist]

I'm just here because I... I don't know. It's 230 AM and I woke up at 10AM. Technically I should be tired.

[Peroxide Pixie]

Went to bed at 6am and woke up at 8.30.....not good, I look like a bag of shit, good night though :erm:

[Strawberry_Juice]

GIMME CAFFEINE TONIGHT
It's not late yet, but tonight's the last of spring break and I just found a pile of Calculus homework that I'd forgotten about.

ALL-NIGHT CALCULUS PARTY WOOHOOOOO

[FrenchMuseFan]

Woah the thread starter's post made me feel weeeeird :( :stunned:

[sventington]

were you...dating?

[FrenchMuseFan]

How the fuck did you guess that? :stunned:

[sventington]

I have done it. I have developed psychic powers.


It was inevitable.

[Amii]

I could not sleep until 10.39 yesterday morning, having woken up at 4 am after an hours sleep. Badtimes.

[Electric Rocker]

because i've just eaten a shit load of chocolate and am hyped on sugar

[Noel Gallagher]

I've had about 5 hours and 4o minutes sleep in 4 days, i'm bloodfy knackered but have no chance of sleeping. Even when I do drift off I keep getting crazy ass dreams about being tortured and shit.

[The_Tourist]

Why am I here? Of all places to come in the AM, why here? NOBODY IS HERE. D:

Fuck sleep.
OMG I take that back I love sleep I'm just weird.

[Elzapan]

Trying to reset my body clock, because I keep going to bed at stupid hours.

Ugh, I cant wait until tonight. I miss sleep. Poor little 15-year-old bod caney hack it.

[salty eyes.]

I am highly uncomfortable. everything hurts, it's too hot under the covers, not nice enough over the covers. my back aches from being pushed to death by a massive loud and sweaty crowd and I'm dreading waking up early to walk my sister to school.

I hate going to sleep, it feels like everyone parties when I'm sleeping. lmfao okay. rant over.

[The_Tourist]

The frontal lobe of my head hurts right now. I kinda picture myself drooling like a doof.
I WANT GOOD DREAMS TONIGHT, SELF. And you know what that entails... :eyebrows:

[ninja]

i got 1 and a half hours of sleep last night!
yay!

[lensip max]

3 hours in 4 days :awesome:

I've swung back into a saner state of mind (as opposed to a coupla hours ago where I kept hallucinating :LOL:) about it all and now I'm doing some homework. Because I'm cool like that :yesey:

[sugarthumbfairy]

I get up at quarter to six, usually go to bed around midnight or after. Don't get tired that much. Catnaps sort sleep out if I need to.

Lucky you to sound so relaxed about it :LOL:

[lensip max]

Lucky you to sound so relaxed about it :LOL:Lol. Yeah. Idk. I think that's why friends were all "How come you look so good today???" when they saw me on Friday (when I was at the 32 hour mark (and, um... they knew that I hadn't yet gone home...)) because like... it's not that big of a deal haha.

I've slept since though lmao. 6 hours and I'm back to normal :D
