Went to bed around 10:30, now it's 2:45 and I can't fucking sleep. It sucks. Any advice? I'm thinking hitting myself on the head with a club.
 
Can't sleep either. :[

I go and lay in bed and stair at the ceiling. Then I start to think about things, then I start to get anxiety, then I get an anxiety attack. You get the picture..

I usually can only go to sleep while watching T.v. now. :/
 
Slow down on the Raging? At least in your head, I mean seriously. Why are you awake there's lots of possible reasons? Give us something to work with if you want some real suggestions.

Is it noise? Thoughts? Comfort? Illness? Smurfs? What?
 
That's been about the story of my life for the last few months.

At first, I passed it off as stress. I made a lot of big changes in my life all at once - leaving home, living on my own, getting married - and I kind of figured that was to blame. But it's been months now. Things have settled down, I've smoothed out a lot of issues, and now my only real source of stress is having to cope with a crazy family, which is nothing out of the ordinary for me.

I've tried everything. We've moved everything electronic out of our room and tried the whole, "Use the bed for sex and sleep only" approach. Didn't work. I cleaned our room keeping in mind that a lot of places suggest that a clean room makes for an easier time sleeping. No help what so ever. I went out of my way during the day to do things that would make me extra tired - mostly, exercising for a bit longer than normal. Nope. So then I resorted to taking a few Benadryl. Normally, the shit knocks me right out. No go. I spent a few hours staring at OTC sleep aids (which, by the way, generally all contain the same ingredient in the same dosage). I even picked a few up. Nothing. I've tried meditation, drinking "bed time" tea, lavendar and chamomile soaps and lotions formulated for bed time, soothing music, classic relaxation techniques... Anything. I've tried every bullshit remedy I can get my hands on, and nothing is helping me.

My mind doesn't race or anything. In fact, the most complex train of thought I'm usually capable of is, "Gee. My ceiling looks nice tonight. Perhaps I'll step out for a smoke. Oh. The stars are pretty. [insert elevator music]"

I guess I should be seeing a doctor soon.
 
This seems to be an problem 50% of the wtf people have.


You should tell a little more about your problem rage. We can't really help if you just say "I can't sleep"...it's like when a kid just says "I have a boo boo" and nothing else.

-Do you experience alot of stress lately?
-Any large changes in your life?
-anything abrupted your sleeproutine?
-Are you on any medication right now?
-When was the first time you couldnt sleep?
-Do you think alot of shit when you can't sleep?
-Or did you just drink alot of caffeine and can't sleep now?
 
I hear you buddy. As movie cliche as it sounds i haven't been able to sleep well since the war. I got out in 05... and i can't recall a time where i slept a full 8 hours. Gotta love grandpa's cough syrup... always does the trick for me.

Whats your poison?
 
I usually start sipping beer almost as soon as I get home from work in the evening. Sit around at the computer, watch a movie, play RockBand...all while casually sipping beer. By the time I go to bed anywhere from ten to midnight, I've had three to six beer, and I usually just fall right asleep.
