What do you do when you can't sleep?

[anon]

Counting sheep just doesn't cut it, and staying on the computer would be severely counterproductive for me... so what other tips do you have? :unsure:

Today I almost couldn't sleep at all - it was 2am and I was still awake, and I had to get up by six. The worst part is that even though I feel fine now, in an hour or two that will change to "very tired". :cry:

[tokiodrift1]

What do you do when you can't sleep?

I don't sleep. :rolleyes:
--------------------------------
TBH, I read something (lesser), go online, watch tv, going for sport, etc..

However, I would not recommend anyone to take SLEEPING-PILLS, that's BAD for your HEALTH.

That's what a doc, said. It has something to do with the sleeping-rhythm etc.

[cheatos]

i make a hot milk cup :D

[Owyn]

just lay in the bed :) you still get rest this way

[lolz]

I cant sleep too because now is 10pm in my country :D

Walk around and take a deep breath, listen some music and lay down :)

[Nobody]

I play this game called Osmos. Laid back game, really ambient soundtrack. It's like video game narcolepsy.

Might also want to try downloading a program called f.lux. It adjusts your monitors brightness based on the time of day, making it slightly dimmer in the evenings so it isn't as bright in darkened rooms. To my surprise, it's actually helped quite a bit. Just be sure to adjust the color in the evening so it's just bright enough that it doesn't give it a yellow hue.

[SBfreak]

1.-google for funny stuff..a good laugh will relieve any stress;
2.-try different exercises from push ups to you know what :huh:

[shadowww]

I usually just don't go to bed until I'm tired enough. And I actually hate sleeping lol. Damn waste of time. Always find something to do, and its depressing when I see its 4 am already and that I need to go sleep if I'm about to wake up in some reasonable time "tomorrow".

Oh and waking up early in the morning usually means easier going to sleep at night, ye?

trivia: i heard somewhere spiritually evolved/enlightened people don't need much of sleep :D

[Mihai]

Read a boring book, a novel something.I go to sleep in 5 mins with that:lol:

[supermarrioh]

The only way is to force me to shut down the computer, force me laying me into my bed and staying there. The hardest part is to shut down the PC...
Once i'm in the bed, its not that hard.Do some One-Hand sports, think about some shit and after a few hours you will be asleep. The first 30 mins are boring, but once your brain recognized you try to sleep it slowly shuts down.

[shadowww]

but once your brain recognized you try to sleep it slowly shuts down.
Figuratively correct, but actually something completely different is going on.

Well, i was talking about the phase before falling asleep.

[saebrtooth]

If its not too cold open ur bedroom window and try counting stars, u will get so bored it will make u want to sleep

[tokiodrift1]

Can't see stars,...too cloudy over here.. :confused2:

[saebrtooth]

Oh in that case count tree leaves ;)

[tokiodrift1]

I'm fine with tree-leaves. :biggrin:

[DriftKing]

Ipod is my freind at night :wink:

[saebrtooth]

Ipod is my freind at night :wink:
U get friendly with ur ipod, at night? Thats the first time Ive read anyone treat it in that way :tongue:

[shadowww]

Good that you can see stars or trees lol.

Living in any capital city deprives you of that privilege. Light pollution ~~

[DriftKing]

U get friendly with ur ipod, at night? Thats the first time Ive read anyone treat it in that way :tongue:

he he :tongue: well, music is my passion. listening music is my habit. I always listen song at night without that I can't sleep :frown:

[shawshankraj]

I watch tv untill i felt sleep..

[anon]

Counting stars or tree leaves is out of the question for me :frown:

I used to do the iPod thingy, but my (generic) media player broke last December, and so did the earphones for my mobile phone a few months ago. :dabs:

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I didn't have problems sleeping yesterday because I was tired enough. :biggrin:

[thecoolest]

i can sleep at night only..other time i cant sleep..when i cant sleep..all i thinking about downloading things for me ..and most of suggestions for new cheats..for cheatos..lol jk

[shadowww]

I watch tv untill i felt sleep..

That totally doesn't work for me, don't know how works for others. :shockkk!:

If there is something watchable on TV it gets my all attention and I just can't fall asleep wtf. If its something shitty and boring (as usually on TV is) no way I could force myself to watch it until I fell asleep. :rolling_eyes:

[kazuya]

move your ass from PC and you will sleep like a baby. i figured that when i sit to much behind PC and watch monitor my eyes are dry and then it's hard to fall a sleep.well good sex before going in bed helps :wink:

[saebrtooth]

Sex? Kazuya if u dont have a partner lol, what do u suggest as alternatives?

I just watch boring movies :tongue:

[tokiodrift1]

There are two Movies, which are better than every sleeping Pill.

Movie 1: Oscar starring Sylvester Stallone
Movie 2: Open Range starring Kevin Costner

This combo is what you need!, Check it out.

Let's say these movies will solve the problem for 2 nights. What about other nights?....watch them again :biggrin:

[fakeking]

Anon, Just close your eyes and imagine yourself in your own world, a world that you can do almost anything, imagine the fun. Bring yourself in peace and relax.

Or you can try some tips from theplace or bitseduce (do they have self improvement books, right? so maybe we can get some tips from those books?).

Fyi, watching movie while sleeping isn't recommended.

[saebrtooth]

unless its a porn movie, it maybe helpful and it will extend really long into real life :tongue:

hmm sounds interesting but Im not really sure if beastiality is anon's thing :tongue:

Besides getting pussy, that is getting real pussy is taking it a bit extreme - just for sleep sake dont u think :biggrin:

Who'd want to sleep when you're on a world where you're omnipotent :unsure:

[fakeking]

Actually sleep is needed or a obligation to do, anon?. For me it's a needed thing. For you?. If you say obligation then I can't help you. :tongue:.

It also means you're very productive man. So let's make a new cheater tool for us then when we're sleeping. :biggrin:. But that's not good for your health.

[anon]

It's not an obligation, although if I don't do it, I'll begin seeing increasing detrimental effects in my life and health. :dabs:

[fakeking]

So i mean imagine something that's your wish, you most unachieveable hope like a dream tracker for us, cheaters. :biggrin:. Imagine that when you're ready to sleep and you'll sleep plus have a dream (hopefully not a nightmare)

Gah, ignore my post if you want because I was a little daydream atm. :tongue:. So some of my words are a little imaginative.

Meist kann ich nicht richtig schlafen, wenn ich bspw. keinen Sport über eine längere Zeit gemacht habe. Evtl. wäre das eine geeignete "Langzeitmaßnahme". Dabei geht es nicht um Leistungssport sondern irgendeine Bewegung. Computerspielen bzw. Spiele auf dem iPhone hilft bei mir leider nicht, da könnte ich stundenlang wach bleiben mit dem oben beschriebenen Resultat, dass ich kaputt bin, wenn ich aufstehen muss. Wenn es öfters vorkommt solltest du vielleicht überlegen, was du vor dem zubettgehen machst, ob es evtl. etwas ist, was dich an- oder aufregt, etc. ob du Cola oder Kaffee trinkst, etc. Das könntest du ggf. auch ändern. Und nein, ich bin kein Öko, nur mittlerweile etwas lebenserfahren - zumindest in mancher Hinsicht.

Usually I can not sleep properly when I have made, for example, no sport for a long time. Possibly, would be a detrimental "long-term effect". It's not about competitive sports but no making any movement at all. Computer games or games on the iPhone make me worse, unfortunately. I could stay awake for hours with the above result so I'm broken when I have to get up. If it happens often you might want to rethink what you do before bed time, if there is possibly something wrong at your body or worse. So if you drink cola or coffee too much, etc. You must change your habit. And no, I'm not an eco, but now somewhat experienced in life - at least in some respects.

The same happens to me every know and then. What I usually do is open my eyes and just stare at the ceiling :biggrin:

[grebetu]

proper way to maintain good sleeping habits:
*get enough physical exercise during a day*

try to go to sleep every day at the same time and spend last few hours before sleep away from pc, for example watching tv or listening to music.

[Ultra-Cheater]

me too :redface: but i can not sleep . i stay on the internet till 5 AM :eek3:
but when i need to force my elf for sleeping , i start studying mechanics or some thing else and sleep after 5 minutes :biggrin:

[crystal]

just sit idle on the bed , do absolutely nothing . dont see the TV , shut off the computer , dont read any books . out of sheer dullness you will sleep in 15-20 minutes .

That is a very good advice. Play football for like 2 hours straight and you'll get soar legs by the time you go to bed :biggrin:

[kazuya]

sometimes my legs hurt so much i can't even sleep because of that,happened 2-3 times

[crystal]

he basically meant that after playing so much , you will get very tired at the end of the day and sleep off . worked for me by playing or either run/jog on the treadmill for a while or i just laid idle on the bed . both work for sure

Unfortunatelly I have insomnia. When I can't sleep I usually watch tv or I go on the internet. It does not make me feel asleep but I can spend hours like this untill it is time to wake up..

Worst thing to do when you can't sleep is probably going on the pc. Tv isn't much better. These two tend to wake you up more, rather than make you sleepy. Try finding other activities after a certain hour if you have trouble sleeping. Like reading a book or going for a walk.

[peepin]

Reading , Playing , Surfing .
Always has things to do .

[Sb Lover]

for me I lay in my bed and turn on the radio !!
I sleep in 15 min !! in the morning the radio wake me up ;)

[Spixe]

I've hypnotized myself to Family Guy and American Dad, so now everytime I put those on, assuming its an episode I've already watched 20,000 times, I can fall asleep while listening to it. So I listen to it everynight to go to bed now... seriously...

[Evilmill]

watch movies or Facebook ..

[sano3000]

internet or watch movies

[Melnot]

I usually take a few shots of whiskey or vodka. That is usually enough to get me drowsy enough to fall asleep for the occasional insomnia. Just don't overdo it then you wake up feeling worst =)

[johno]

lol melnot great advice :D i usually just watch a bit of tele then get angry that i cnt sleep if it gets to 5-6 in the morning thats it i refuse to sleep i fight back haha, if my body wnt sleep when i want it i wnt sleep when my body needs me too :D

[Shelter]

Well i think it's better to turn all off and try 2 sleep.Alsou if u dont sleep at last u relax your eyes.4 example me i never drink coffe/going in the gym afther 6p.m because the adrenaline remain sow i cant sleep.Or sometimes if i know that i have to wake up at 6a.m.Before with 3 night's im iom going/trying to sleep at midnight.Eventualy your body it's gonna feel tired of this change...sow u have to go 2 sleep at midnight!

[yoman]

i have a huge collection of movies ..... when i can't sleep i just watch a movie......its best to see a horror movie.....

[ParamouR]

Watch some tutorials on how to make someone happy ;)
Believe me from the last few days I have been analyzing on this topic. And have helped me a lot.

Trying to learn more about how to make others happy makes you fall asleep? That's quite a laugh ^^

[ParamouR]

I just like to learn new ways to make someone laugh ;)

[Extraterrestrial]

Clear your mind from all distractions before going to bed !

[Gapo]

Read a book.

[Resurrection]

Read a book.

Finally...

Thank you...

Almost everyone wants to watch movies...Reading is a dying art it seems :wcry:

I'm a voracious reader and its my favorite passtime...

[DEViL.eXE]

Always i watch tv but sometimes i play ps3 or pc.

[zatoicchi]

yep. i agree..Read A book

But the Book you should Read is a book that's boring not an interesting one or else you will stay up all night reading it

[ParamouR]

Whenever I take a book whether while studying or just for TP I always feel sleepY ;)

[Mon]

Oh, it's been nearly a 8 years since the last post, damn.

Usually I just read manga when I can't fall asleep, taking sleeping pills is indeed a bad idea, but Melatonin pills seem to be much safer and considered "natural"

And yea, those blue light filters, both for PC (F.lux) and Android (Twilight) are life-saving. Honestly, I haven't seen any difference first week or two, reading in bed at night with blue light filter , but after a month or so I realized that I'm falling asleep much faster and my eyes are feeling relaxed, didn't expect that from a single software at all

I'm gonna try that!

[anon]

I didn't pay Nobody's comment about f.lux much attention at the time, since computer usage was not the reason (or the reason for the reason) I created this thread. But now I can't recommend color temperature filters hard enough. Awareness of this problem has increased over the last years, to the point Windows 10 has a f.lux-like feature built in, as do some MediaTek-based phones.

I've had my redshift permanently set to 2300K (as opposed to during nighttime only) for months now and I'm the happiest I've ever been :smilie4:

[yoco]

So do I understand this right. This software changes your monitor colors, when it's dark, but during day it remains the same?

I choose "reduce eyestrain" and the number is on 5900k

[Sazzy]

Am using the windows 10 one and love it. It has a sheduler as well. Same with f.lux btw.
Daytime is normal, as soon as the sun goes down, the blue colors start getting a lot softer.

[anon]

So do I understand this right. This software changes your monitor colors, when it's dark, but during day it remains the same?

Yes (at least that's the default).

Anyway, here are some tips. Firstly, make sure your location is configured correctly. Secondly, there is almost no difference between 6500K (the baseline) and your current 5900. I suggest you start with 4500 for nighttime, then reduce it to 3400 after some days, and finally 2300, the lower limit before your screen starts looking like a darkroom.

You need to apply a registry tweak and reboot to dip below 4500K, but f.lux will automatically notify you and offer to do it.

[Mon]

2:33 am and I don't even sleep yet, I guess that's what this thread was made for

Well, I'm happy a thread I created when I was a high school boy is relevant eight years later :smilie4:
