Hehe, Come on it's just Ibprophen and i only took 4. XD


Well how many milligrams was it? Your not supposed to take more than 400-800mg at once depending on your problem, and your not supposed to take more than 3200 per day. Considering they generally come in 200-400mg per pill, and the purpose of them was to make you fall asleep, you overdosed by taking even one. Ibuprofen doesn't even help you fall asleep, that's just a possible side effect, so I'm not sure how you can't see the stupidity of taking a pill for a side effect.

That's not the only reason I took them bud. My head was throbbing so terribly, that is one of the reasons I couldn't get so sleep. I really am not that stupid. Taking some motrin for a headache will not cause you to overdose.

Well you didn't say that, you basically said that you took the plain ibuprofen medication to help you fall asleep. If you had a headache, then it makes sense now.

Erm...okay.

I usually have a lot of trouble getting to sleep, i've tried a few different ways and these work sometimes.

1) Try keeping only 1 thing in your mind, whatever you want, as a picture.

2) Try not thinking -at all- (This is very hard to do...) and every time you catch yourself thinking about something stop.

3) Don't toss and turn, even if you're uncomfortable, it keeps you awake.

4) Do 100 situps or something else akin to that, if nothing else at least you did something.

These don't always work for me, but they do work sometimes, so...hope that helps.

There is a trick to fall asleep faster, laying with your eyes closed, visualize this...

Every word that comes to your mind, think of yourself writing it on a blackboard (so you are thinking of words and visualizing yourelf writing them)

I usually have no problems with falling asleep
but this method has helped me a couple of times

Lay in your bed and listen to this
If that song doesn't make you sleepy then...either something is wrong with me or your insane.
Also as someone else said try doing sit-ups, that sometimes works for me.

Listen to Fireflies by Owl City. Works [i]every [/i]time.
You could also listen to Coldplay.

Deep breathing helps sleeping significantly. Just lye down. And breath deeply. Your head will go swimming and you'll pass out asleep. I do this alot

I'm sure that would be great if you liked that stuff, but I don't. Listening to music never seems to help me get to sleep, no matter what music.

Thanks for all the suggestions every one. I am going to book mark this page so I can try every one's methods. Thanks!

What usually also helps me. But this is my own personal skill.
I usually play or flourish with my deck of cards. I simply play with something that is not computer based or electronic. Usually I get drowsier when I do that.
