uhm well lay down and have a pillow under your head and close your eyes

Thanks, for the smart aleck remark. Locus I have obviously tried this. If you can't think of anything good to post please refrain from doing so just to get armor points. Thanks.

Get out of bead, go to kitchen, drink some milk. I prefer it cold. Take ur time and do not chug. Then get another glass, drink slowly. Then slowly wall back to ur room, go to the bathroom, lay down on ur side and just let ur mind wander. It works for me, also don't obses about falling asleep just well do it, no thinking required

Thanks Pickpocket, I will try!

Well for me on school days I like to get in my bedroom at 9-9:30 and read for an hour or so. Also I stop using my computer/iPod at around 7:30 because I read somewhere that using any electronics makes it more difficult to fall asleep. Hope that helps.

Five or six sleeping or pain pills will knock you out right fast. Cough medicine, melatonin, benadryl, and so forth, are quick knockouts that don't keep you asleep for hours. Don't use prescription drugs though (such as for insomnia) as these are significantly stronger and much more specific.

Yes, bad advice but if you really have to get to sleep, nothing beats it. Just don't swallow too much, you might die.

Next summer get you Should get your sleep cycle in tune to waking at 6 before the last minute. start gradually a month before school starts go to bed an hour early then usual do so every week untill school starts until you have reached your ideal sleeping cycle.

Ok,

@Nater I started trying to sleep at 10.

@enterorion I think I might try and sneak downstairs and take a handful of benadryls. Only problem is is that i weigh 210 lbs. Sneaking is no easy task.

@Benman I know I should have. Last night I went to sleep at 5:00 and woke up at noon.

@JsaKim I tried both of those things, but thanks.

Thanks for all the input guys!

We were out of benadryl, but I managed to sneak out four ibprophens. Hope it works!

You shouldn't be on the computer, Its to mentally stimulating. It will make it much harder to fall asleep.

If anyone has a good answer that doesn't evolve drinking milk and popping pills then please tell me. I can't sleep for anything.

I posted this in another thread similar to this:

What I basically do if I have a problem sleeping is:
- Drink some Tilo tea or a glass of warm milk.
- Stretch and meditate.
- Exercise sometime in the day.
- Take a nice hot shower or bath about an hour before I go to sleep.
- Turn off everything in my room except for the fan or air conditioner.

Your drugging yourself with pain killers to help you fall asleep...?
Its really not obvious how much of a terrible idea that is.

You tried malt drink? That stuff helps you get to sleep. Does a good job. It's like, hot-ish milk, with the malt drink powder in it. Try it.
