Its midnight and I can't sleep.

[milestogo]

I want to sleep. Suggestions?

[2naSalit]

1. Lavendar tea?

[FSogol]

2. Finish that bottle of glen livet!

[KPN]

3. "This Old House" -- Neil Young

[rusty quoin]

4. Pot

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Are you sure...

you should be seeking advice about insomnia from a bunch of maniacs running rampant at this time of the night?

[milestogo]

14. Yeah, that occurred to me.

6. I always take a pillow and blanket and lie down in front of the TV.

I watch the DVRs of ancient Law and Order reruns till I fall asleep. The other night, I saw a young Idris Elba. Recently there was the young Julia Roberts trying to turn Ray astray.



If I lie in bed and try to sleep, I end up thinking all sorts of bad thoughts. Watching Law and Order keeps my brain occupied so I don't get into those loops.

11. Idris Elba. 😍

[Laffy Kat]

12. I do that, too.

Mind-numbing television shows. This sounds weird, but murder shows help me. The ID channel or Headline News murder shows. I think it's because they are narrated and the lack of back and forth dialogue lulls me into sleep. Oh, and Xanax, LOL. Good luck.

[nclib]

15. omg, me too

The ID channel. I can be awake for hours and turn on the ID channel and be asleep in minutes. It is weird, isn't it.

[Laffy Kat]

18. I know a few more people who do it as well.

[mucifer]

17. Don't you ever wake up to screaming? I find I can't watch or listen to mysteries

when I try to sleep . I need comedies or sometimes msnbc.

[Laffy Kat]

19. I totally get it.

It's kind of hypnotic to sort of follow a plot without having to concentrate. I think it induces sleep.

7. Read

a book....not a Kindle, not on your phone. A paper-and-ink book. You'll be alseep in minutes.

[Socal31]

8. Alprazolam

[Laffy Kat]

13. Hahaha, what I said above.

[sprinkleeninow]

9. Take yer pillow and lie/sleep upside down on yer bed for a change of pace.

As some know, I dislocated my left shoulder two weeks ago and have had nights starting out good then turning baad.

I started to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed and for some strange reason, I'm sleeping pretty well. 🤔

Ni-Ni. 😴

[Laffy Kat]

20. I find moving around from room to room can help as well.

Don't know why that helps.

[sprinkleeninow]

21. That might do the trick. Change of environment.

I used to sleep in a guest bedroom from time to time. Got good zzz's. 😄
Mb there's something scientific to it.
Now I gotta head off to hit the sack...
Nite! 😴

[smirkymonkey]

10. A few glasses of wine and some valium?

I know it's not healthy, but it works.

[dweller]

16. nothing I can rec ...

I lay down, I sleep
sometimes I sit up I sleep too ...

the rest of the time I'm working and planning and trying to keep up


✌🏼️
