...to sleep?

I have quit drinking,which is pretty cool. The only problem being,my insomnia (the reason I started drinking) has returned with a vengence!!

Not had more than a couple of hours sleep a night now for over a week. Tried having a snack before bed,drinking 'sleepy time tea',reading and all sorts of crap. But no joy.

What works for you folks?

Cheers

Watch 'Taxi Driver'. It won't cure insomnia but it will give you a sense of mission.

Seriously though, a late night read.

You talkin' ta me?

Follow a routine, go to bed at the same time every night get up at the same time every day.

Keep the bedroom slightly cooler than the rest of the house about 15-17 C is good and make sure it is dark.

Exercise during the day, just enough to raise your body temperature a little.

It will take a little time to get used to but it works naturally.

Thanks J

Got to admit routine is perhaps my biggest down fall. I run every day,and keep a fan on in the bedroom. But I tend to go to bed when ever I run out of things to watch. Been off work the last two weeks,so been getting up when ever I feel like it as well. So all in all I have probably screwed me self.

Will start getting into some kind of routine,as of tonight.

Thanks chap

Beeston,
You might try medication for insomnia, ask yer GP for some guidence. Insomnia is a cunt, BUT with TV on 24/7 these days, you won't be stuck tossing and turning for hours on end.
Good to know you knocked the sauce on the head

Hey Ace

First...thank you.

I was toying with the idea of seeing the Doc about this. Was just trying out as many other things as possible first.

Your right about the telly. I remember during my teen years,sitting up and watching Ceefax all night. and of course now I have some great DVDs to watch even if there is nowt on !wink!

The radio by my bed....TalkSport till 6am- and then R5 till I get up.

if you're being sensible count to 10 - in your head - breathing in, then breathe out for 10. Do that 10 times, you'll be away.

Or I usually imagne Angelina Jolie, but that keeps me awake for an extra 20 mins!!

all i know is forums dont help... infact internet sucks for my insomnia!

sorry to lower the tone btw but i usually find that if i really really cant get to sleep then jsut have to have sex or even jerk off. after the release my whole body feels good n snug and i am ready for zzzz's
