How do you sleep?

[[Boolean]]

Ahaha this is going to sound weird...but I had that problem HUGE problem really. I had a friend who was into yoga and such and she lent me a relaxation tape. I dunno if it would help you, it kind of helped me...now I'm just out right away XD

Mostly what it is, is a tape you listen to that tells you to concentrate and then to relax....I dunno it's hard to explain but it makes me very sleeping listening to it lol.

Other than that...try to do something that will make you tired like work out or do a sport of some sort which uses a lot of adrenaline.
If that doesn't work you can try..well having a really hot bath 0.o XD lol

Hope that helped...and wasn't as creepy as it sounded to me haha

You were wondering how tuning out sounds would help you sleep when you repped me. To be honest I have no clue how it works...it's a samurai trick I picked up from a book, so it could be a false fact.

I sleep with my radio low enough so that I can just barely hear it and with my old teddy bear in my arms. I also put my fan on high, since I like cold air (for the most part). I toss and turn a lot in bed, too, so listening to some rock music with the cold air in my face helps me fall asleep faster.

oh yeah i just finished my first aid course and i realize that i sleep in the recovery position

[Sakura Holic]

Uh.....
*shifty eyes*
... I'll!! just get to the point already.... > >;

I sleep with a comfortable soft blanky. It helps me to sleep well. Even when I am under stress, When I have trouble sleeping, and when I other kind of situations. Yes. It is sad that I have a blanky. And Im 14!! ;_;
So baby of me...

I don't know why, but for some reason, no matter how tired I may be, I can never sleep unless I'm face down/on my stomach. I can put my head on my desk and sleep easily, and when I sleep at night I always have to roll onto my stomach, but in a car or lying on my back I just can't sleep.

As for curing insomnia, we should all take a lesson from Xero, GET MORE EXERCISE DURRING THE DAY.

If Im having a restless night I do several things:
watch a boring movie
play soft music
write my problems down in a journal
take some kinda sleep aid (medication)

[Mugen's Girl ~]

Hmm, how can I say this.
I'm never tired, but I'm never sleepless?

>.>

[kingoftown]

I drink Nyquil and play solitaire on my iPod until I nod off. Sometimes I eat pirate booty while doing this.

I have trouble getting to sleep, and staying asleep.
I have found though that by changing which way your head is sleeping, it can either promote healthier sleep patterns, or detract from them. I like to sleep with my head facing north east.
Also, I get Chineese sleeping pills from my local herbalist in china town( so much cheaper then the western ones, and it works just as good). They generally just help you and your mind relax and destress a little, also a glass of chamomile tee helps as well. and I would stronly suggest Yoga during the day, it is good physical excercise, but, at the same time, relaxes you.
Of course the basic, of trying not to stress out so much, like letting the little things go helps too.
Hope this helps a little.
Peace be with you.

xD <--will reply to just about any topic!

General Sleep:
I try to sleep in the most comfortable position available to me: on my side. My brother tells me sleeping on your back increases the probability of getting nightmares, which I've found to be about 90% true, and it's also bad for those with sleep apnea.

For Sleepless Peeps:
-Focus on any sound you can hear, then one by one tune each out.
-Think about all of the things that make you happy.
-Wear warm clothes to bed.
-Have something with the scent of lavender close by (if not a spray on your pillow like my mother has). Do NOT use candles though... (fire?)
-Imagine yourself sleeping.
-Trick I discovered at a camp that's kind of like self hypnosis: Repeat the word relax in your head until you feel kind of tired, then repeat sleep until...well your asleep.

^_^ Those are the tricks that work for me, and I'm the kind of person that used to stay up until 3 in the morning in deep thought.

Relly !?
cool I might try them out <,< cause as you can see I'm up at 11:00 PM <,< let ya know if it works.
(my reply) for me I often try to find the most bazzar sleeping ways to lay down and most of the time I do get to sleep. In the subject of dreams, I never really have any that scare me, just ones that get my mind thinking way to much. Then I get some kind of rush all the time, like I'm going to be in some sort of trouble or something like that.

yeah I'll try those too and no if all else fails I will not try medication cause I don't like haveing to swallow anything that is not food! -_- my Grandmother can agree to that as well as anyone else that knows me well. like my sis ^^ YoKu!

[Mon The Chosen]

if all else fails take sum "sleepy pills"!

[Hermit]

I usually sleep alright, main problem is getting out of bed in the morning xP As soon as I lay down I fall right asleep... Speaking of sleep I could really use some right about now.

[Mon The Chosen]

sleepy pills

[Suichiro Taguchi]

when i can not sleep.. hmm.. i hug dog or just simply close my eyes..then i go to sleep

[razzen88]

usually i have no problem going to sleep but on the odd occasion when my mind is worrying i tell myself to worry about it in the morning. if my mind keeps wandering i get up and play video games until my eyes scream in pain. then i pass out pretty well

[Ranshiin]

Oh I was so going to spam a response until I read the first post.

My mind always wanders at night. >_>; I don't really sleep even though I spent half the day in my bed. (xD)

I just lie there and just listen to music. It does work. I just lie there and listen to music until I fall asleep and then that's it.

[Kazuma-chan]

nothing, nothing at all!

[Keyasaffection]

i dont sleep well some times but mostly i stay up looking out the window hopping to get some sleep...

[Ginny Weasley]

For me, it really depends. I love sleeping and often find myself sleeping to much...I find that I am much more of a night owl than a day time person. Its kind of wierd and I'm not sure how I got to be like that. When I can't sleep, I just lay on my back and stare up at fake stars on my ceiling until I get sleepy. Other times, I call this music chat line on my cell phone that's free and look for interesting people to talk to (which is rare! LOL) about music or movies or whatever. But mostly I just stare at my fake stars and zone out...because its comforting. : )

[dante kun]

i curl in a ball and listen to music

[dante kun]

if you can't go to sleep while your mind is wandering, force yourself to. your mind will still wander but in a sleep mode.

[Chewbaka]

If I can't sleep, I just put it on C-SPAN or Bloomberg and then I get bored and then I go to sleep.

[dante kun]

excercise before you go to sleep, you burn fat and you will be tired enough to go to bed then!

[____]

I don't have any trouble sleeping, but if my mind wanders I just concentrate on the blackness of when my eyes are closed. Then my mind gets bored and it shuts off.
