I. Cannot. Sleep! O.O

KelseyRunner · January 2009

It's like 12:35am and I CANNOT SLEEP! Usually this is kinda early for me. But not on school nights because I have to get up at 5:30 >.< And. I've tried. I really have. But I cannot sleep! It's like.. impossible!

I need sleep or I will be tired and crabby tomorrow at school. But how do you get sleep...when you CAN'T SLEEP?! I have been pacing around the house too

I dunno what to do ;.; Useless vent. Oh well. Meh.

I have insomnia, and sometimes, even if I'm dead exhausted I can't sleep. I have to take medication when I get like that. It's over the counter, however.

Eating cereal works brilliant for getting you sleeping. But no apples. Also watching the longest boringest looking show on the TV helps big time.

Like watch a huge 4 hour lecture show about Presidents or such. Hope that helps a little!

lmao. I couldn't sleep either. I am used to staying up will 5am-7am. I tried to go to bed at 11pm but I was awake the whole time or in a half sleep. And I actually ate cereal xD I was hungry. Then I watched Fresh Prince. hehe

I find that doing some puzzles like Sudoko help me fall asleep. Sometimes reading helps, but if it's a good book I tend to stay awake more heh.

That happened to me last night! I tried to go to bed at ten, (ha) and then I woke up at 11:45 or so, and I was like.. OH SHOOT, did I sleep late?! It got me confused, but then when I was half sleepling, half galloping to the kitchen, I realized that it was 11:45 at NIGHT. I guess that's what I get for trying to go to bed early

Actually, I watched something on TV that said you shouldn't eat or drink before going to bed 'cause it just keeps you up. So does watching TV xDDD, anything that keeps your brain active is keeping you awake. I lay on the couch for hours just trying to sleep xD.

-Sighs- I can't say I fell asleep when I would have liked to last night xD I went to bed at 10:00 (I am terrible at getting up in the morning... one time I went to bed at 12:00 am, and wouldn't get up until 12:00 pm xD) Anyhow, so, I went to bed at 10:00, hoping to get up at 6:30. I tossed and turned until 11:30 (well, that's the last time I dared to look at the alarm clock o.o). I had way too much on my mind x.x About school, a bunch of unneccessary awkwardness, etc, etc (that's not really in topic right now, I am not going to mention it)... and I was excited since my friend had been in Mexico the whole winter break and I was going to see her again ;DDD In the morning, I got up at 7:00. Not because I'm lazy and wouldn't get up at 6:30; but because my alarm clock decided to have another one of its stupid technical difficulties and shut itself off (You know, since you have to flick a switch, I'm starting to think it's not turning itself off and perhaps I sleep-walk and turn it off in hopes I won't have to get up in the morning xD) Well. Looks like a lot of VP'ians have troubles sleeping. I take Melatonin tablets. They're a natural hormone that controls our 24-hour schedule thing... and they help for jetlag and such. Take one a half an hour before you want to sleep, and VOILA! It relaxes your muscles and makes you somewhat sleepy and helps a lot... Mine tastes like mints xD So... yes. And I Have a lullaby. xD It hasn't helped lately, but it has in the past. Well. Suggestions ;D

Hah, Liz jinxed me. I didn't get to sleep until past 6 in the morning. I laid in bed for eight hours, tossing and turning. Time to get that medication out! XD

Wert said it didn't help.. maybe I'm just special. x3 But watching a movie -always- makes me fall asleep. Only problem is when it wakes me up in the middle of the night, but I can usually fall asleep quickly after turning it off. Like.. watching a movie at night when I want to stay up is a hige mistake for me lmao Half an hour into it and I'm gone. Dunno if it helps anyone else.. but even in the afternoon it can knock me out for a good 2 hours! XD But, not all people have TVs in their room.. so won't help for everyone. o.o

TheDogHandler · January 2009

Count sheep xD It works.. until you get bored of it! Lmao.. XD

Howdy, Stranger!

I. Cannot. Sleep! O.O
