Insomnia anyone?
 

Alright, last night I didn't get to bed before 6 30 am, and I was only able to sleep until 10. Now tonight, I'm too excited about seeing Stevie again to sleep :laugh: Seriously, though, it's 7 am now, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to cure insomnia short of a sleeping pill? * I hate taking medication *

i'm still awake for some reason. i feel like i'm completely hungover, which i'm not. i can't fall asleep. i hate it. -_-

I know, it does suck doesn't it? The weird thing is, I'm not even really tired...but on the other hand I'm not exactly operating at my highest level either *L* :shrug:

Why would a person want to be asleep now? The sun isn't even up yet. ;) :D

When I'm excited for an upcoming event, I can't sleep either. And I'm like you, no medication, thank you.

Hoping somebody else can come up with something to help.

I am such a nightbird. I love the summers, when I can stay up or nap as needed. :cool:
But during the school year it can be a real problem.

I've always been a nightbird, I think it's just in my blood. I remember one year we were going on a trip to California, and I fell asleep at 2 AM, then woke up at 4:30 and didn't sleep another wink that whole day.

Oh tell me about it! I'd probably be better off if I could go to class at 2 am :nod:

Sounds pretty normal to me. :shrug: :nod:
Every year I tell myself I'll be better about it, but at this point I'm thinking about moving to a job/career that doesn't require all the daylight hours. (Save the crack ho comments. :lol: )

The thing is, when I am able to get up very early & get out there before many cars are on the road, I like that, too. Afternoons are what I don't like, really.

lol, I know the feeling VERY well, about 2 months ago I vowed I would try to start going to bed earlier and just ended up staying up even longer. Never really works... :rolleyes:

Let me tell you, I would be one lousy dieter. ;)

Dont start taking pills. I got addicted to Benadryl a few years ago and it f*cked my whole system up hardcore.

I find these are pretty good cures for insomnia: Watching QVC, reading (although I love to read), running a mile every night, masturbation and/or sex...

haha, ditto! Been there, done that, bought the souvenir... dieting doesn't really work for me. I must not have much willpower :laugh:

The sex thing is true, but the "experts" say not to exercise in the evening because it will cause insomnia. (I take the experts with a grain of salt, so don't think I'm trying to discredit anything you're saying. More power to you if you've found it works. :) )

Sure you do, it's just that the will to eat is stronger in you. Same with me. And most folks. That's still willpower, just not the one you think you want. :)
